Racing Payouts & Maximum Bet Amounts Top
There are no house odds. If there are no track payoffs for a certain type of wager, all wagers on that type will be refunded. There is a maximum net profit on each individual race based on the track category. Daily Doubles, Pick 3's, and Pick 4's count towards the last race in its sequence when calculating the race profit. The formula is Net Profit = Net Payout For Race minus Total Amount Wagered For Race. This resets for every individual race.If a track is on our betting menu, but not listed on the Horse Track Categories, the Maximum Net Profit defaults to $3,000.

Bet Types Top

Betting a Horse to Win
When you bet on a horse to Win, you are betting on one horse to cross the finish line in first place. If your selection wins, you will receive the payoff amount opposite the word Win, as shown on the racetrack board. The amount won will depend on the odds shown on the board, following the race.
Betting a Horse to Place
When you bet on a horse to Place, you are betting on one horse to cross the finish line in either first place or second place. If your selection wins, you will receive the payoff amount opposite the word Place, as shown on the racetrack board. The amount won will depend on the odds shown on the board, following the race.

If your selection wins, you will receive the payoff amount opposite the word, Show, as shown on the racetrack board. The amount won will depend on the odds shown on the board, following the race.
Across the Board Top
When you are choosing a horse wagering across the board, you are making three separate bets that it will Win, Place or Show. You may make your wager on a single ticket, or on three separate tickets.If you decide to wager on the single ticket, however, you are, in effect, making three separate bets at the same time, so the total amount of your horse wagering will be three times a single such wager.If your selection wins, you will receive the payoff amount opposite the words, Win-Place-Show, as shown on the racetrack board. The amount won will depend on the odds shown on the board, following the race.
Exacta/Perfecta Top
Betting – Exacta or Perfecta
When you bet on the Exacta or Perfecta, you are betting on two specific horses to cross the finish line in first and second place, and in the order you specified when you laid your bet. If your selection wins, you will receive the payoff amount opposite the word Exacta or Perfecta, as shown on the racetrack board.
Betting – Exacta or Perfecta Box
When you bet on the Exacta, or Perfecta Box, you are betting on two horses to cross the finish line in first and second place, in any order. In effect, you must make multiple individual Exacta or Perfecta bets in combination to set this bet up.Exacta or Perfecta Box can be done on a single ticket. This amounts to making two or more separate Exacta, or Perfecta Box bets. In this particular case, you would calculate the total amount that you are wagering by multiplying the number of individual bets by the individual wager amount.If your selections win, you will receive the payoff amount opposite the words, Exacta, or Perfecta Box, as shown on the racetrack board.You also may limit the combinations by keying (linking) a single horse to a particular finish position i.e., to Win or Place. This means that the horse you have keyed to a specific position must finish in that position. The other selected horses, which are not keyed in any way, would be boxed into the remaining non-keyed positions.For example, let us say you select horses 3, 6, and 9, and decide to key horse number 9 to Place in the wager setup screen. Your resulting wager would be an Exacta or Perfecta Box with one key. You will win this single Exacta or Perfecta Box wager only if the number 9 horse crosses the finish line in the Place position and the number 3 or 6 horse crosses the finish line in first place. You may also make a Wheel wager by selecting all horses in a particular race, keying one of them to Win or Place.

In effect, the amount you wager is the total amount of the wager. You may choose three or more horses in a Quinella Box to increase your chances of picking two horses to finish first and second. If your selections win, you will receive the payoff amount opposite the words Quinella, or Quinella Box, as shown on the racetrack board.
Daily Double Top

You will be able to calculate the total cost of your wager by multiplying the number of wagers made times the amount of each individual wager. You also may limit the combinations by keying (linking) a single horse to a particular finish position i.e., to Win, Place or Show. This means that the horse you have keyed to a specific position must finish in that position. The other selected horses, which are not keyed in any way, would be boxed into the remaining non-keyed positions.For example, let us say you select horses 3, 6, 7 and 9, and decide to key horse number 7 to Place and number 9 to Win in the wager setup screen.

Parlay Top
This is a combination or multiple wagers on two or three scheduled horse race events, with the intention of using a total of any winnings and the original sum bet on the first event as a wager on the second event, and so on. When the player transfers his winnings in this manner, instead of collecting them, he is said to be letting his winnings ride, or to be parlaying them. In order for the player to win an accumulator, all of his selections must win their individual events. If a race event, results in a tie, or is postponed or canceled, the accumulator (parlay) is automatically reduced by one selection. That is, a triple parlay becomes a double parlay bet, a double parlay becomes a straight bet, and so on. Although the odds of winning a parlay are much less than a straight bet, the player will enjoy huge dividends on a win.
