Common horse racing bets

Betting on horse racing can be complicated. Below we’ll break down a number of horse racing bet types to make things easier.

Win bet

A Win bet is the most popular bet, requiring the punter to select the horse they think will finish first in the race.

Place bet

Place betting is another popular bet type, requiring the punter to select a runner to finish either 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the official placings.

Starting Price (SP)

Starting Price is the official odds a horse started the race with. You can ask to place an SP bet with a bookmaker (but not the Tote). Some people do this if they think the horse they wish to bet on will start the race at a better price than what is being advertised at the time, perhaps because of late money for another horse in the race.

What are Fixed Odds?

Fixed Odds-on horse racing is simple to understand. It means that the odds offered on any horse or event cannot change. If you bet on a runner at specific odds, you can expect an accurate return on your bet.

What is Tote?

Tote odds are the odds for any runner, initially determined by betXchange, but with added pressure from horse racing bettors like you. With more money backing a specific horse, the tote odds can fluctuate dramatically, especially if big bets come late to the market.

Tote or Fixed Odds – which is better?

Typically, this comes down to what kind of horse racing punter you are, but both have positives and negatives. Fixed Odds are great if you can identify early value in a horse or event when the markets open. Sometimes locking in odds and values early can result in a big advantage before race day.
