Fantasy Horse Betting - Racebook
SBG Global.net offers several types of wagers for your horse betting needs. Types of wagers vary from track to track and will depend on the horse race which you are betting on. You should base your decision on how much you want to wager and the type of bet according to the odds for that particular horse.
Win
This is a very simple bet. You are simply stating which horse you predict will come in first place.
Place
This is a type of horse bet on which you are predicting a horse will come in second place in the race. You win your bet if your selected horse finishes either second or first in the race; however, the amount you win varies depending on whether the horse finishes first or second. A second place finish pays less money. The probabilities of winning some money on this type of bet are higher althought the payoff itself maybe lower.
Show
This is a type of horse bet on which you are predicting a horse will come in third place in the race. If your horse finishes third, second or first in the race, you win your bet. However, the amount you win varies depending on whether the horse finishes first, second or third. The better the horse finishes in the race, the more your payoff will be.
Across the Board (Win, Place & Show)
You can choose to bet “across the board”. This allows you to select one horse to come in either first, second or third in the race. This is basically three bets in one. For example, if you bet $2 across the board, you are stipulating that you want $2 on a horse for each position. In effect, you have wagered $6 overall. You win if your selected horse comes in first, second or third place; however, the money varies depending on what place your horse finishes. The higher the placement of the horse, the bigger payoff.
Exacta
You are stipulating that two selected horses will come in first and second place in that race in that specific order. For example, if you bet $4 on the number 3 and number 7 horse to come in first and second place, they have to come in that exact order. If they do not come in that specific order you lose the wager.
Exacta Box
In essence it is a combination of a reverse in sports with horses. In fact, you select two horses to come in first and second place. However, an exacta box bet means that there is no specific order in which the horses need to come in. For example when placing a $3 exacta box on number 5 and 6 horse, your total risk is $6. This is because there are two possible outcomes. You win your bet if number 5 wins and number 6 comes in second or vice versa. Only one of your exactas in the exacta box scenario is a winner.
Quinella
This is, in essence, an exacta box with only one risk amount. You are betting on two horses coming in first and second place in no particular order. The payoff is a lesser amount than an exacta box. Not all race tracks offer this type of bet.
Trifecta
You are stipulating that three selected horses will come in first, second and third place in that exact order. You win only if all three of your horses finish the race in the order you have specified.
Trifecta Box
This horse bet is the same as a Trifecta bet in that you are betting on three horses coming in first, second and third place. However, a Trifecta Box bet means that your three horses can finish the race in any order. They only need to place in the top three positions for you to win. This bet is basically 6 bets in one. For example: you place a $2 trifecta box bet on horse number 2, number 4 and number 7, your total risk is $12. There are six possible outcomes for these three horses to finish in first to third place. You win only the trifecta combination in which your specified horses finish in the excat order mentioned.
Superfecta
You are stipulating that four selected horses will come in first, second, third and fourth place in that exact order. You win only if all four of your horses finish the race in the exact order you have specified.
Superfecta Box
This horse bet is the same as a Superfecta bet in that you are betting on four horses coming in first, second, third and fourth place. However, a Superfacta Box bet means that your four horses can finish the race in any order. They only need to place in the top four positions for you to win. This bet is basically 8 bets in one. For example: you place a $2 superfecta box bet on number 2, number 4 , number 7 and number 9. There are 24 possible outcomes for these four horses to finish in first to fourth place; therefore, the total amount of the bet is $48. You win your bet if horse number 2, number 4, number 7 and number 9 finish in first, second, third and fourth place of any order.
Daily Double
You bet on the winners of two consecutive races. You win the bet only if both your horses win their specific race. Typically daily double bets are only available on the first two races of the day and the last two races of the day. Not all race tracks offer this type of bet.
Pick 3
Bet on the winners of three consecutive races. Each of your horses must win their specific race in order for you to win the bet. Not all race tracks offer this type of bet.
