Exploring Popular Horse Race Betting Options
New customers often make the mistake of getting caught up in the hype and excitement around horse race betting without actually understanding any of the or which bets they should go for.
So, let's walk through a couple of the most common options you have at your disposal when making your first bet:
Each-Way Bet
Kicking things off, let's look at each-way betting, which is essentially just two bets placed at the same time - one on the horse to win (which is generally another popular bet to have as a single) and another on the horse to place (meaning finish in a specified position).
A lot of people go for these bets as they increase your chances of winning even if your chosen horse doesn't actually come first place.
Yankee Bet
For anyone with a bit more experience with betting, there are also a few more adventurous options out there, like the Yankee bet, for instance. Put simply, these let you select multiple different bets across a few races, so they have quite a high potential to amplify your winnings since you're combining different selections.
Still, this is mostly used by more seasoned bettors who might've seen different horses in action before, so it's probably best to stick to something simple if you're only getting involved in horse racing bets for the first time now.
Betting Tips
You'll find plenty of more horse racing on our website, but here are a few beginner strategies to help you get started:
-
Research is Key: Whether it's the horses, jockeys, or even the trainers, take a look at their most recent form and their history, too, so you have a well-rounded understanding of how they might perform when it really matters.
-
Understand Horse Form: Following on from this last point, the track type, distance, and the weather can all play a big role in how a horse might perform, so make sure you're aware of how the horses perform across various different conditions.
-
Don't Go All In: Understandably, you're having fun and want to see big returns, but there's no quicker way to ruin your day than to lose a large amount of money at once. So, take a slow approach and get comfortable betting on a few different markets before you make any drastic decisions with your money.
