Multi-race Bets
Multi-race bets in horse racing are wagers in which you need to select the winning horses for two or more consecutive races. These types of bets can be more challenging than single-race bets, but they also offer the potential for bigger payouts.
There are several types of multi-race bets in horse racing, each with its own rules and payout structure. Here are some of the most common ones:
Daily Double
The Daily Double is the simplest type of multi-race bet. In a Daily Double, you need to select the winning horses in two consecutive races. The races may be at the same track or at different tracks.
To place a Daily Double bet, you need to tell the bookmaker or clerk which two races you want to bet on and which horses you want to select. For example, you might say, “I would like to place a $5 Daily Double bet on horse number 2 in the first race and horse number 5 in the second race.”
The payout for a Daily Double bet is determined by a pari-mutuel system, which means that the total amount of money bet on the Daily Double is divided among the winning bets. The payout can vary depending on the odds of the winning horses and the total amount of money bet on the Daily Double.
Pick 3, 4, 5, & 6
The Pick 3 or more is a multi-race bet in which you need to select the winning horses in three consecutive races. The races may be at the same track or at different tracks.
To place a Pick 3 bet, you need to tell the bookmaker or clerk which three races you want to bet on and which horses you want to select. For example, you might say, “I would like to place a $5 Pick 3 bet on horse number 2 in the first race, horse number 5 in the second race, and horse number 7 in the third race.” For a Pick 4, 5, or 6, you would follow the same procedure but with more horses and races chosen.
The payout for a Pick 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 bet is also determined by a pari-mutuel system. The total amount of money bet on the group of races is divided among the winning bets, and the payout can vary depending on the odds of the winning horses and the total amount of money bet.
