HORSE RACING BETTING ODDS

The unpredictability of horse racing has led to thousands of iconic moments throughout the history of the sport. This leads to constant changes in betting odds based on a number of factors, most notably the condition of the racecourse.

HORSE RACING BETTING MARKETS

Place bets on thousands of horse racing markets choosing from a variety of betting options:

• Place Betting: Wager on a horse to finish in one of the top three positions.
• Betting Without the Favourite: The favourite is removed from this option in this market, giving bettors different odds for races with an odds-on favourite.
• Forecast Betting: Predict the horses finishing in first and second place in that exact order. There is an each way (or any) option in this market, meaning the two horses can finish in the top two in any order.
• Tricast Betting: Similar to forecast betting, only the prediction needs to successfully name the horses that finish first, second, and third in the correct order. The tricast is also available as an each way (any order) option.

MOST POPULAR HORSE RACING BET TYPES

Lucky 15s and Yankee bets are some of the most popular horse racing bets, mostly due to the potential returns and overall flexibility they offer. With a Lucky 15, 15 bets are placed involving four horses, which means even if one or two horses fail to win, there's still a chance of making a profit from the other combinations.

Similarly, a Yankee consists of 11 bets on four different horses, reducing the risk and increasing the probability of seeing a return.

HORSE RACING ACCUMULATORS

Accumulator bets, commonly referred to as ‘accas’, give horse racing enthusiasts the opportunity to combine wagers for a much higher payout. In horse racing, accas have the potential to reward significantly higher results due to how unpredictable the sport is.
