Exotic Horse Racing Bets

Exotic Horse Racing Bets.

Examples of Exotic wagers when talking about horse racing are: Exacta, Quinella Trifecta, Daily Double, Superfecta and Pick 3/4/6. These wagers have much larger payouts than Straight Bets.

QUINELLA – To win a Quinella , you must pick the first two finishing horses in any order of finish. In other words, you must pick the horse that wins and the horse that finishes second. For example: you bet $5 that horses number 2 and number 7 will come in first and second place in any order. The only way you win this bet is if number 2 and number 7 win and place in either order.

EXACTA - To win an Exacta 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. Exactas can be played using multiple combinations. Wheeling, keying and boxing horses in exacta's is a popular bet at the track. For example, if you wager a 1-2 exacta, your horses must come in that order for you to be declared a winner. If it were to come in 2-1, your ticket would be graded as a loss

TRIFECTA - To win a Trifecta you must pick the first three finishing horses in the exact 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. A triple can also be played using multiple combinations. Wheeling, keying and boxing horses in trifecta's is a popular bet at the track. For example, if you wager a 1-2-3 triple, your horses must come in that order for you to be declared a winner. If it were to come in 1-3-2, your ticket would be graded as a loss. 

SUPERFECTA -
To win a Superfecta you must pick the first four finishing horses in the exact order of their finish. In other words, you must pick the horse that wins, the horse that finishes second, third, and fourth. For example, if your wager a 1-2-3-4 superfecta ticket, you horses must come in that exact order. If it were to come in 1-2-4-3, you ticket would be graded as a loss.
 
DAILY DOUBLE - The daily double involves picking the winning horse in two consecutive races. All tracks offer the early daily double which involves races #1 and #2. Most tracks also offer a late daily double which is the last two races of the day. Some tracks also offer a rolling daily double which is on any two consecutive races. To win a daily double you must pick the winning horse in each of the two specified races. Multiple combinations can be used when playing the double. Wheeling and keying horses in any leg of the daily is accepted. For example, you can wager on the 1,2,3 horse in the first race along with 2,3 in the second.
 

PICK 3 -

In order for you to win a Pick 3 wager , all 3 of your horses must win their individual race.

If any leg of the Pick 3 is not a 1 horse, you ticket would be consider a loss.
 
An exception to this rule would be if one of your horses was scratched. In this case you automatically receive the post time favorite in place of your scratch.
 
You can use more then one entry in your Pick 3 ticket.

For example you could wager 1-2/2/3-4-5

This would mean in Race 2 from the example above, if the 1 or 2 horse won, you would still be alive in the pick 3.

So if you were alive going into the 4th race you would need horses 3, 4 or 5 for you to win your Pick 3 ticket.

PICK 4 -

In order for you to win a Pick 4 wager , all 4 of your horses must win their individual race.

To win a Pick 4 bet you are required to select the winning horse in four consecutive races. Most tracks offer the pick 4.

PICK 6  -

In order for you to win the pick 6, your horses must win each leg of the race.

To win a Pick 6 bet you are required to select the winning horse in six consecutive races. Most tracks offer the Pick 6.

 A FEW TIPS TO CONSIDER

1.  Some of the best horse racing results can be had during the week when the fields are typically smaller and it takes little time to place some wagers.
2.  Learn about the horses as well as the jockeys. In horse racing both are of major importance when it comes to crossing the finish line.
3.  When you place your bet, what others say or the hype surrounding a team should not be what sways you. Check into where the team came from, how long they have been racing and even what class they moved up from and when.
4.  Research the track.  The track itself can change the way a race goes. There are different textures, different temperatures and even different lengths.
5.  When it comes to horse racing one of the most valuable tips you can follow is to learn more about the sport.  Know the participants and the location.  Use this information to put together your best bet for the next race.
