Horse Racing 101 Betting Tips
Win, Place & Show Bets
Let’s talk about the three most common bets in horse racing: the win bet, the place bet, and the show bet. A win bet is placing a wager on a horse to cross the finish line first, thus winning the race. With a place bet, you’re picking a horse to finish first or second. A show bet allows you to put a wager on a horse to finish first, second or third.
Of these three bets, a win bet is the highest risk with the highest potential reward. Since only one horse can win a race, you’ll see those odds for each horse to win listed on the DK Horse app and on the tote board. These odds will change dynamically right up until the start of the race.
A place bet offers medium risk with middling rewards, since two horses in the race will pay out to place.
A show bet is a low-risk, low-reward bet with three winning horses in each race.
