Ladbrokes Australia has rolled out a new feature across their betting platforms with Top 2/3/4 betting now available. 

The new betting option is available on the desktop site and the Ladbrokes app and gives punters the chance to back a runner for a Top 4 placing instead of the traditional Top 3 that is offered with Place and Each-Way bets. 

Aussie punters now have more options than ever when betting on racing at Ladbrokes, and the Top 2/3/4 betting is a great addition to the Ladbrokes Same Race Multi, Money Back Odds and Blended Odds.

How Does Top 2/3/4 Betting Work?

Top 2/3/4 betting gives punters more flexibility when placing bets on racing. It is available for thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing in Australia and internationally. 

The new bet type allows users to select Win, Top 2, Top 3 or Top 4 when placing a bet on a runner. This provides added security for Place bettors who opt for Top 4 instead, and it adds more value for Place bettors who select Top 2 instead of the Place market.
