The common bet offerings are: Win: bet on a horse to win. Place: bet on a horse to finish in one of the top three places, including first.

Each Way: this combines a win and place bet. You collect the win and place payouts if the horse finishes first, and the place payout if it finishes second or third. Double: a double requires you to predict the winner of any two races. The winning of the first leg are then wagered on the second leg. Both legs, the first and second prediction, need to win for a payout.

Place Accumulator: choose a horse to finish first, second or third in each of the seven races that comprises the Place Accumulator. Swinger: pick two horses in a race and couple them in a Swinger. You win if the two horses chosen to fill two of the first three places. Exacta: predict which horses will finish first and second in the exact order. Bet in three different ways: choose one horse to finish first and one horse to finish second. Choose any number of horses to finish first and to finish second and choose two or more horses. You’ll receive a payout if the horses chosen include the first and second finishers.
