Horse Betting Types

Trifecta Bets

With the trifecta bets, you must pick the first three finishing horses in the order of their finish. In other words, you must pick the horse that wins, the horse that finishes second, and the horse that finishes third.

WIN

A "WIN" bet is just what it sounds like: betting that the horse you pick will win the race. You win if the horse wins.

In the Quinella, you must pick the horses that finish first and second. Either one can be first and the other one second. This bet functions exactly the same as the "Exacta Box". Although the Quinella has the same function as the "Exacta Box" the payoff can vary substantially.

This wager is very similar to the Pick 3, but the player must pick the winners of four consecutive races from a given track. In this type of wager the client will say the race that states the first leg of the Pick 4 and then the horses he wants on each leg separated by the word WITH.

In order to win a Pick 3 bet you are required to select the winning horse in three consecutive races. Most tracks only offer one or two pick 3 opportunities per day.
