How to bet on horse racing
If you’re a beginner in horse racing betting, the terminology might seem overwhelming initially. Nevertheless, the process is quite straightforward, particularly when done online.
Straight bets are quite simple. They involve betting on a specific horse to finish in a designated position.
- To emerge victorious, place a bet on a particular horse.
- Location: You place a bet on a horse to come in either first or second.
- In this show, you have the option to place a bet on a horse to secure a position in either first, second, or third place.
Exotic Bets offer increased diversity and the potential for significant payouts.
- The exacta bet involves placing a wager on two horses to finish in first and second place, respectively, and in the specific order specified.
- In Quinella, your bet involves selecting two horses to secure the first and second positions, regardless of their order.
- A trifecta bet requires you to predict the exact order in which three horses will finish: first, second, and third.
- A Superfecta is a bet where you predict the exact order of the first, second, third, and fourth-place finishers among four horses.
If you have a preference for specific horses but you’re uncertain about their final positions, boxing the exotic bets is a viable choice to ensure your bases are covered.
In addition, you have the option to employ a wheel strategy for your exotic bets. With this approach, you select the specific finishing order for your top horses and include wagers involving various combinations of additional horses for the subsequent positions. By doing so, you can reduce costs compared to boxing while simultaneously increasing your opportunities to secure victories.
