To place a bet you must first access your account and then choose “Horses”, at the top of your screen. Then, select the track by clicking on the name of the track. Once the track is selected, you should choose the race you would wish to bet on. Next, a listing of the horses, jockeys and current odds will appear on the right side of your screen. In the box marked “Amount” please enter the amount you would like to bet, do not use decimals or the $ sign. Next, choose the type of bet you would like, (i.e. WIN/PLACE/SHOW, EXACTA, QUINELLA, etc…) Win is First place, Place is Second place and Show is Third Place. For example, if you wanted to bet $10 “across the board” (Win, Place and Show) on the 7 horse, you would enter 10 in the Amount Box, and then check the WIN, PLACE, and SHOW boxes below the 7 horse. Then you would click on “Build ticket”. You should then see the confirmation page, giving you a description of your bet and the total amount risked. You can choose to CONFIRM or CLOSE. If you want to cancel your wager, click on CLOSE. If you would like to submit your wager, simply click on COMFIRM.
Horse Racing Betting & Rules
American betting on horse racing is sanctioned and regulated by state governments, almost always through legalized parimutuel gambling.
Horse Racing Exotic Wagers
Making an exotic wager is just like placing a straight wager except you will be selecting multiple horses. Simply put a dollar amount in the “Amount” box, then click on the desired wager. Next, choose the number that corresponds with the horse you would like to select.
The following is a list of exotic wagers we offer, depending on the track:
Quinella bet: Choose 2 horses to come in first and/or second. If your 2 horses come in 1 st and 2 nd, your bet is a winner.
Exacta / Perfecta bet: Choose 1 horse to come in 1 st and one horse to come in 2 nd. If your horses come in exactly in that order, your bet is a winner.
Trifecta bet: Choose 3 horses to come in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. If your horses come in exactly in that order, your bet is a winner.
Superfecta bets: Choose 4 horses to come in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place. If your horses come in exactly in that order, your bet is a winner.
Daily Double bet: Choose 2 horses from consecutive races to come in 1st place in each race, respectively. Your horses must win each race for your bet to be a winner.
Horse Racing Pick 3 Bet
Choose 3 horses from consecutive races to come in 1st place in each race, respectively. Your horses must win each race for your bet to be a winner.
Boxing Horses Bets
With most exotic wagers you may also “box” the horses. This means they can come in any order. For example, if you bet a $2 Trifecta Box on horses 1-3-7, you win if the 1, 3 and 7 horse all finish in the top three, regardless of their order.
Using the above example, if 7-3-1 finish first, second and third, you win! You can “box” a wager, simply by picking the box bet of your choice. By boxing a wager you are essentially buying a ticket for all the different combinations for the horses you selected. So, in the above example the total wager cost would be $12, because there are 6 possible combinations.
Horse Coupled Pairs
Sometimes horses are coupled. That is there will be a 1 and a 1A. Most times one of the horses will be scratched, but if they both run, you get them both. So, if you select a horse that is part of a coupled pair (horses 1 and 1A) both horses would be considered as one selection. For example: If you played 1-3-7 as your trifecta and result was 1A-3-7, you win. Also, if one horse gets scratched, you have the other horse regardless of who you selected. If you select 1A and 1A gets scratched, your bet will still stand on the 1 horse.
Horse Betting Results
As race times may change throughout the day, Management reserves the right to cancel any ticket made at/or after the track’s actual posted time (including seconds). It will be deemed as “No Action” and your money will be returned. For this reason, our race programs have a 10 minute earlier post time than the actual race.
Horse Betting Payout
Payouts will be made based on the actual track payout. The Morning Line (ML) listed in the race program is just informational and is not used to calculate the payouts. Your account will reflect any payouts once the race is graded.
The following table shows the maximum total bet that will be paid out at actual track odds:
