The festive season is rushing towards us like a mugger on crack. But this Christmas, don’t worry about trying to find the best bet on sports in the UK, we’ve already done that for you. A bet on the King George IV Chase will be just what you need. This traditional three-mile chase will see a mammoth battle between two great horses. So, whether you bet on Cyrname or check out the odds on Clan des Obeaux, this year’s race will be a great break from cold turkey sandwiches.   

There are many arcane rituals associated with Christmas. From trees to presents, Santa to sprouts. Some defy explanation, others are slightly more easy to get to grips with. The vast selection of sporting fixtures on December the 26th perhaps one of them. This age old practice stems from the days when servants would work on December 25th, Christmas Day. As a reward for this they were given the day off on the 26th. That’s why you can bet on the King George VI chase on the 26th.

The poor, apparently, like sports. So they were provided some. A practice that continues today as tradition more than practical necessity. Horse racing is hardly alone. You’ll be able to bet on the English Premier League too this 26th. However, a bet on the King George VI chase seems the best options on offer. Between family and food, way too much food, you may not have time to take full advantage of UK gambling laws. So if you get but one chance, take this one fast.  

Traditional Sporting Fixtures Go Ahead This Boxing Day

Sure the football will be interesting. It always is. But this year that bet on the King George VI chase will be far more fascinating. Clan de Obeaux is back again. This is significant because it won here in both 2018 and 2019. Can it really win three times on the bounce? The bookies seem to think so. Bet365 gives it 5/2 right now to take the win. That’s just about the same price as they’re giving Cyrname. Which one will take it? Well, that’s hard to say, so perhaps there are other choices.

There are. Picking a winner is not the only bet on the King George VI chase that makes sense this year. With the two favorites slamming each others odds, other horses tempt. Especially each way. For instance, online betting sites in the UK like Bet365 give Monalee and Champ 12/1 each. Now sure, Lostintranslation at 8/1 should come home third, but this is 2020. Nothing is guaranteed, and either of those two could pick up a place finish. They could be worth a glance.

Of course there will be many looking for more Christmassy wagers. A bet on a White Christmas, a bet on the Christmas No.1, a bet on the Queen’s speech. You know, more festive wagers. Still what could be more fun and festive than a wager on some of the less likely winners. A bet on the King George VI chase doesn’t have to be a cold calculation. In 2020 can you really bet a rank outsider won’t pull of a stunning win? No of course not. Predictable is not in this year’s character.
