Before you can dabble into horse wagering, you need to know what kinds of bets that horsebooks will offer. The four most popular wagers when betting on horses are listed below.
WIN – Betting on the horse you picked to win the entire race. If the horse wins the race, you win the bet.
PLACE – Wagering on a horse to finish first or second in the race. This type of bet pays out less than the win bet above, but it gives you two chances to win instead of just one.
SHOW – Betting on a horse to finish the race in either first, second or third. This bet pays out less than both the win or place bet, but it gives you three chances to win.
Across the Board – To bet on a horse to finish in any of the first three positions above. Win, place and show. If your horse finishes anywhere in the first three positions you win. If the horse wins outright, you will win all three bets. If the horse finishes 2nd then you win the place and show bets. If the horse finishes 3rd then you’ll only collect on the show bet.
