Betting options for the Race track

Here is a list of betting options when playing at the race track......

WIN -  pick the horse to win

PLACE - pick the horse to come in first or second to win

SHOW-  pick the horse to come in first. second or third to win

Daily Double- pick the winner of the first and second race

Exacta- pick a horse to come in first and a horse to come in second

Quinella- pick a horse to come in first and second (no specific order)

Trifecta- pick a horse to come in first, second and third (in that order)

Trifecta box-pick three horses to come in first, second and third (no order)

Superfecta- pick the horse to come in first, second, third and fourth (in that order)

Pick Three- pick the winner of three consecutive races

Pick Four- pick the winner of four consecutive races

Pick Six-  pick the winner of six consecutive races

"Across the board"- Betting a horse to win, place and show in a single race

Wheel-pick a horse and "key" the rest. Ex: Exacta -choose the first place horse to win or place second and pick all horses to come in the other position.

Parital Wheel- pick your horse to win or come in second and select some horses to "key" with your selection.

Wheels confuse me and i never really play them. Of course they cost more money as well.

Hope this helps if anyone ever wants to try a different method of betting the ponies!

I can remember picking horses for my uncle and grandfather as a girl, but i know nothing so i feel intimidated betting on them but id love to  learn......any suggestions on how to ease my way in?

Hiya Lady,

I think betting numbers or the names of horses is the easy way to get your feet wet. Its good to look at the odds of the horse too. Playing more favorites can be a safer bet....not always a guarantee...but safer.

If you do decide to give it a whirl...let us know how it turns out for ya!

Good luck....and may your pony win!

This is a very comprehensive list of definition for race track. Thanks for the list. I didn't know some of the terms before.

Thank you gamer, if you do any track betting please feel free to share your experiences!

I usually bet a favored horse to show. A $2 ticket usually pays only $2.10 to $2.30, but at least I am not out my $2 betting on a 5 to 1 shot.  It is also fun that a few of my poker/casino sites offer horsetrack betting so I can bet the horses from the comfort of my home.

I'm just curious, has anyone ever won a bet like Superfecta?

So far I play for my own pleasure, I don't bet much, but I bet regularly on the Europa League ca.parimatch.com  This is a good bookmaker. Very convenient site and mobile version, a wide line for betting and a good spread of events
