Horse Racing

Who you think is going to win each race.  If you pick the winners in each race, you win the bet.  Pick 6 wagers are the most lucrative at the track as they are known to pay out high amounts.  Tracks will have Pick 6 promotions where in some cases the payout can be as high as $1,000,000

How To Bet A Horse Decide what kind of bet you want to make. There are tons of different options, in a variety of combinations. The most common — and simplest — wager is a straight bet: You choose one horse to come in first place. But the easiest bet to win is the show bet: If the horse you pick comes in at least third place, you win. If you’re feeling daring — or you’ve got cash to burn — branch out to the Pick 3, in which you pick the winners of three consecutive races or the Superfecta, where you pick the horses that will place first through fourth of a given race.

Do your research. The odds on a horse are a good indicator of where the horse is expected to finish (a horse with 2/1 odds has a better chance of winning than a 30/1 horse, but the 30/1 horse is a much better payout — if you want to play it safe, look for a horse with at least 3/1 odds). Other factors to take into consideration: When did the horse run its last race? Experts say you want your horse to have run a race within the last 28 days to be sure it’s in good shape. How many horses are competing? Obviously, it’s a lot harder to pick a winner when there are a lot of contestants in the race. What does it say on the horses form? If there is a C, the horse has won on that track before. If there is a D, the horse has won on that distance before. These are both good bets.
