Horse racing gambling is often enough a question of pure luck. Still, there’s a saying which states that you make your own luck – familiar with that? This is the case of professional gamblers, who have mastered the betting techniques and almost transformed them into an art form. This article is going to present a selection of the most popular bets encountered in horse racing. Either you made a profession out of betting or you simply do it to increase a horse race’s excitement, you might have made a few bets out of this list yourself. So here we go:

BET TO WIN
This is by far the simplest of all the bets. You simply anticipate a horse that will win the horse race and if it does, you collect your earnings which depend on the odds that the respective horse had.

BET TO PLACE
This is when you bet that a horse will finish in the first two positions of a horse race.

BET TO SHOW
Yes, you guessed it. In this case, your selected horse must cross the finish line in one of the first three positions.

COMBINATION BET
This is the bet which covers two to four horses which must win in a certain order.

PICK 3
This is when the player to point out the three consecutive winners of three horse races. A rolling pick 3 is when the betting continues for the next 3 races, and it is a policy in certain tracks.

PICK 6
You have to accurately determine the winners of the following 6 races, but you need to do it prior to the first race of the pick 6 bet (obviously). If you have that much luck and you successfully determine those winners, you can become way wealthier, sometimes with as much as one million dollars!

QUINIELA
You need to estimate the first two horses to cross the finish line in any order.

PERFECTA
This is the same as quiniela, only you need to accurately forecast the order in which the two horses will finish.

TRIFECTA
This is the same as perfecta, only that instead of two horses, it’s three horses.

SUPERFECTA
Same as perfecta or trifecta, only with four horses involved.

DAILY DOUBLE
This is when you need to forecast the winners of the first and second races from a particular day. The bet must be placed before the first race starts.

Besides these types of bets, you can also stumble upon others like: the jackpot, the parlay (or accumulator), the future bet, exotic bets, etc. And once you practice some horse racing gambling, you can start earning some serious money.
