Betting Markets In Horse Racing Betting

With horse racing being one of the most in-demand betting options among our betters on our website, we ensure to offer as many markets as possible because we want to deliver the thrill of the betting experience to the fullest. Below are just a few of the various betting markets we offer in online horse race betting. Remember that every type of bet offers different odds, risks, and potential returns, so it is important to know the variety of markets before making a betting decision. 

Win Outright

This is the most common type of market you will come across in horse racing betting. It is a straight bet where you simply place a wager on your favoured horse to be the first to cross the finish line or win a specific race.

Place

Similar to the win bet, you bet on a runner to win, except, your bet stands valid in this market even if the horse finishes second. It is another straight bet but with lower risk as compared to the win bet, since you bet on your runner to finish in either first or second position. So, regardless of the final rank, you win your stake if your chosen runner achieves either of the top two positions. 

Show

A show bet is identical to a Place bet, except that this market typically comes with lower odds and returns. This is likely because the market is a straight bet with the lowest risk of all the three bet types. This market lets you place a bet on the runner to finish either first, second, or third position in a particular horse race tournament. 

Each Way 

This market is another popular choice among enthusiastic betters. It is a combination of two bets — Win and Place bets. So, if your selected horse wins the specific race, both the expected returns of the markets will be given. However, if your chosen horse places in the second position in the race, only the place bet will be counted, and you will receive a return with a lower rate. This betting market is a fantastic pick if you are not confident about your selection or the distinct winner of the race.

Patent

A patent is typically made up of three different betting markets consisting of seven separate bets — three single bets, three doubles and one treble

In addition to these markets, we also offer many other options, including:

• Daily Doubles
• Exacta 
• Quinella
• Duet
• First Four
• Trifecta
• Treble
• All Up / Parlay
• Trixie 
• Lucky 15
• Yankee

Types Of Races In Horse Racing Betting

In the world of horse racing betting, there are two major types of races, which are Flat race and Jump race. Within these two variants, the races are further expanded into multiple race types. Below are the types of races:

Flat Races 

Classic Races

The classic races are prestigious Flat races in the UK. It is a Group 1 type of horse race, where the highest classes of colts and fillies compete with each other. In classic races, there are further five types of races, which are mainly competed between 3-year old colts and fillies. The races include 2,000 Guineas, 1,000 Guineas, Oaks, Derby, and St Leger. 

Group Races

Group races is well-known in horse racing competitions and is sectioned into Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3. These races are held based on certain categories, such as age limit and specific gender, and is held throughout the horse racing season. While the weights are estimated similar for all the three groups, group 2 and 3 usually are given more penalties to make the race more competitive.

Listed Races

Right below the tier of group 3 races is the listed races, which follows the similar penalty pattern for the runners in the form of extra weights.

Handicaps

This type of flat race is hosted after the runners are assessed and rated by a team of handicappers post-race according to the performances. In this race, the runners are assigned a certain weight based on its ability to level the chance of winning a competition. Renowned races like the Wokingham Stakes and Cesarewitch Handicap are known to attract more than 20 handicap runners. 

Jumps Races 

Graded and Listed Races

The grading style in jump races follows the same regulations as in flat races, except here, we called it Graded instead of Group. So, in jump races, Grade 1 is considered the top tier level race, where runners compete with the same weight with exceptions to age and gender. This type of jump races is usually seen in popular horse racing events like the Champion Hurdle and the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Handicaps

Jump races have the handicap races as well, however, the major difference in handicap jump races is the rating. In jump races, the handicap rating is comparatively higher than the one in flat races.
