Types of bets that you can place on horse races

There are many different types of markets on which you can place wagers. Some of the basic markets include

Win

As the name suggests, in this type of bet, the horse that you bet on requires your pick to finish in the first place in order for you to win the bet. The odds for this are often quite long, and punters can expect to win once in about 3 to 5 races that they bet on, but the winnings are equally rewarding.

Place

You can win the Place bet if the horse that you bet on finishes either first or second. The winnings are comparatively smaller than the Win bet but is easier to win.

Show

This is the easiest bet to place, and also the least rewarding. Your horse has to finish in the top three for you to win the bet. However, a show bet is great to place wagers on an underdog, because if it finishes in the top 3, you stand to pocket a handsome gain.

The above bets give unequivocal returns, and you will receive the same pay-out whether your selection finishes first or second in place bet, or in any of the top 3 positions in the show bet.

Across the board bets

This variation is often used by punters to increase their winnings. Although the bet is similar to the 'Show' bet, the winnings are dependant on the position of your selection, with a first-place giving maximum winnings, and a third-place finish giving lower returns.

Ante-Post betting

This is one of the riskiest, yet one of the most rewarding bets in horse racing. The markets for this are typically open until the day before the race is held. The odds offered are much more favorable to the punters than on the race day. However, if your selection fails to run the race, you will end up losing your stake rather than it being returned.

In running betting

Online betting has opened a host of opportunities with in-running betting. Punters can place bets in real-time as soon as the race starts. It is a great opportunity for players who can spot an underdog making a strong comeback. This type of betting is often known to give huge returns.
