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. Some tracks offer a rolling pick 3 in which every race is part of a pick 3 bet, which means that some races are included in three pick 3 bets. The third race for example, would be the third race of the first pick 3, the second race of the second pick 3, and the first race of the third pick 3. I don't mean to make this seem complicated, it is really very simple. The simplest pick 3 bet is the $2 straight pick 3.

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.

The simplest form of this wager is the Straight Trifecta, which is a single combination of the first three finishers in the exact order of finish. To purchase, simply tell the clerk something like: "give me a $2 Trifecta on 1-2-3." A Trifecta is not offered in all races at all tracks (refer to program).

Horse Racing Exacta Bet

With this bet, you must pick the first two finishing horses in the exact order of their finish. In other words, you must pick the horse that wins and the horse that finishes second.

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.

PLACE

For a horse to "PLACE", it must finish the race either first or second. This bet generally pays less than the win bet but it gives you two chances to win instead of just one.

SHOW

For a horse to "SHOW" it must finish the race either first, second or third. This bet generally pays less than either the win or place bet, but it gives you three chances to get a return for your investment.
