To start betting the player needs to pick the winner(s), decide on the type of bet, and set the wager amount. There are many different types of horse bets that can be made, and you can bet on all your favorite races (Triple Crown, Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont Stakes, and much more)

Horse betting begins with the basics. The easiest way to bet horse racing is to bet a horse to win. The horse must win for you to collect on your horse bet. The next option is betting the horse to place. That is when you make a horse racing bet on a horse to finish either first or second. The next option in horse betting is to take a horse to finish in the top three places. This is called betting a horse to show. The horse must finish either first, second or third for you to win your wager. Another popular wager for horse bettors is taking each of those first three options. It is called betting across the board in horse racing and that means you are wagering money on the horse to win, place and show in three separate wagers.

Other horse betting wagers are called “Exotic Wagers.” There are many different horse race betting options in exotic wagering beginning with the exacta. You are picking the exact order of the first two finishers in the horse race. A quinella would be picking the first two finishers in online horse betting but the horses can finish 1-2 or 2-1 as long as you pick the correct two horses. The trifecta is when you pick the exact order of the first three finishers in horse racing. The superfecta in horse gambling is picking the exact order of the first four finishers in horse racing.
