    Same for me. "ANY HORSE. ANY RACE. TWICE THE PRICE." in block capitals. "Full Ts and Cs" appears at the end. I wonder if the Advertising Standards Authority would have a view on this. An honest advert would say "UP TO TWICE THE PRICE".

      Does seem like false advertising as no one seems to be getting twice the odds any more. The word 'epic' does seem a big statement, 'small' boost wouldn't look as good ob the advert though !

        ….it does say ‘on selected races’, be good if anybody can find a race where double odds applies. Actually might be worth asking Hills.

        • I tried it across a number of graded races for next years festival and it was 25% for all of them.

            Just now it says on 'selected horse racing markets'. I read that as meaning that you are probably only looking at a single bet, so no multiples or forecasts. Fair enough. But if your bet is eligible then the promotion that says "ANY HORSE. ANY RACE. TWICE THE PRICE." is naughty. I worked in financial services. We often tied ourselves in knots to convince ourselves that any customer communication was "fair, clear and not misleading". By the standards we followed the wording in bold would have been binned in 10 seconds and the person who drafted it would have been marked down as a dafty who was only fit to get the coffees in.

              Mine seems to have gone the other way, went from 10 to 5 about 5 weeks ago and has now gone back to 10 this week.

                    • Had an email from WH. Place a bet up to £10 and get a free bet of the same amount. So put £10 on Foden 1 shot on target at EVS and got the £10 to use on any sport.

                              • Double the odds for me as well (my son's account not mine).

                                Have had a pop on Myretown in the Sefton Hurdle at Aintree. Lucinda milks that race. Won it with Ahoy Senor in 21 @ 66/1, 3rd with a 100/1 shot in 22 and won it again with Apples Away last year @ 16/1.

                                Myretown in same ownership as Ahoy Senor.

                                Nabbed the 66/1 with the Epic Boost.
