How do you place a bet?If you're a beginner bettor, you probably want to avoid the self-service betting machines and mobile applications, instead opting for a mutuel window with a live teller. — Know that a horse's program number is not always the same as its post position, this occurring when there are coupled "entries," horses paired in betting because they have the same trainer or owners . Always be sure you know the correct program number of a horse before betting.
— You can ask a track employee or a mutuel clerk for help if you have questions about wagering. Right after a race is over and before the payoffs are posted can be a good time to ask. What is a win-place-show bet?The first is a "win" wager. The horse must win the race in order for you to win the wager. Next, is a "place" wager, which is betting on a horse to finish in the top 2. You win if your horse finishes first or second. Betting a horse to "show" means picking a horse to finish in the top 3. You win the wager if your horse finishes first, second, or third.
