Betting Online Horse Racing

Online horse betting can be a great way to have fun and placing a bet on your favourite events makes them even more exciting and enjoyable. However, the process can be intimidating for the newcomer. First, find an online bookmaker, such as 888sport.com. 888sport offer a free introductory bet for new customers. See their site for full details.

Each website’s interface will be different so find one that suites you. Generally, they all make it a point to provide straightforward information and tools that allow you to select the race, the type of bet, the horse or horses, and the amount of money you wish to gamble.

The amount of information can be overwhelming at first so newcomers should take it slow and focus on the races with which they are familiar. Here is a breakdown of the common terminology used on online bookmaker websites that cater to U.K. bettors:

Win: Sometimes called a Straight or Single. Bettor picks the winning horse in a race.

Place: Bettor chooses a horse to finish first or second.

Show: Bettor picks a horse to finish first, second, or third.

Pick 3: Bettor picks the winner of three consecutive races.

Pick 6: Bettor picks the winner of six consecutive races. Some tracks specify the Pick 6, such as the first six races, middle six races, or last six races. Many tracks operate carry over pools for the Pick 6 that operates like lotteries so that jackpot grows larger every day until a bettor wins.

Combination: Bettor picks two to four horses to win in selected order.

Reverse Forecast: Bettor picks two horses to place first and second in either order.

Straight Forecast: Bettor picks two horses to place first and second in exact order.

Treble Forecast: Bettor picks three horses to cross the finish line in exact order.

Superfecta: Bettor picks four horses to cross the finish line in specified order.
