Types of Bets/Rules of Each Way Betting
There are
many different types of bets that can be placed these
days and often these bets will be multiple bets which
involves betting on more than one horse with any
winnings being accumulated. A successful 'multi-bet'
will result in some excellent payouts but winning with
these bets is not as easy as winning on a simple 'win
single' where just one bet is placed on one horse.
Many
Bookmakers pay out a winning bonus on different types
of multi-bet so check with the Bookmaker when placing
these bets.
The
Tote run a number of multi bets each day, where
all bets placed are entered into a pool of money and
after the Tote has taken a percentage of this money,
the rest is then shared between all winners.

Pick a horse to be 'placed' in the race
(i.e. come in the top 2, 3 or 4
depending on how many runners in the
race).
However, you will receive a reduced
return on your stake because your horse
is more likely to be placed than simply
win outright. The odds are normally
reduced to 1/4 or 1/5 of the stated
odds.
Your selections needs to be placed as
follows:
Up to 4 runners – no place betting
5 – 7 runners – 1st & 2nd
8+ runners – 1st, 2nd & 3rd
Handicap 16+ runners – 1st, 2nd, 3rd &
4th

just picking the winner, but the rewards

exacta means you pick the first two to
finish in any order, but this classes as
two bets).

number 4 to win and horse number 6 to
come second simply say "£2 exacta on 4
and 6"

come second, and a bet on 6 to win and 4
to come second

your chances of winning.
Get them all correct and you can hit the
jackpot!
To place a placepot bet use a placepot
play slip, which you will find at the
course.

you've missed the start of the placepot
or it has fallen by the wayside before
the 3rd race.
