You may be wondering about the different types of horse racing bet you can make, as the terms are a little different from what you find with other sports. But don’t worry, they’re really easy to understand. The three main types of horse racing wager are called Straight bets, if you are new to playing the ponies, you’ll typically start with these.
The three main types of straight bet are:
● Win - A win is the simplest bet, you pick which horse you think will cross the line first and if you choose correctly, you win
● Place - A place works in a similar way to a win bet, but it pays out if your horse finishes first or second. It’s easier to win, but the return is lower than a win bet.
● Show - A show bet is like a place bet, but with the addition of third-place paying out. Again, the chance of a payout is increased, but the return is lower
Our free horse racing picks and predictions will often include the type of bet the tipster or handicapper think is best to make. You can then place all three types of wager through your TVG account in just a few clicks, making it easy to bet the way you want.
More Exotic Bets
There are other types of bet you can make with horse racing, these are typically called exotic wagers. They are often similar to parlay bets that you’d find in other sports as they usually require you to correctly select the position of two horses.
The main exotic bets are:
● Exacta - An exacta bet is one where you must correctly pick the horses that will finish first and second in a race, choosing them in the correct order.
● Quinella - A quinella bet is like an exacta bet, but the two horses you pick can finish in either order
● Double - A double bet requires you to successfully pick the winner of two consecutive races.
