Horse Racing Betting & Odds

Q: Horse Racing Betting Markets & Odds

Sky Bet offers a wide range of horse racing betting markets for you to get involved in, depending on your choice. The most common is a win single bet, where you back a horse to win its selected race. Another common bet placed by horse racing punters is an each-way bet. This involves two parts, a win single and a place single. For the place part of your bet to be a winning selection, your horse just needs to finish the placings. This is often the front three, but it is dependent on the size of the field. For larger races, it can even be up to 7. A multiple bet in horse racing involves more than one selection. If you place a double, you require two chosen horses both to be successful, a treble requires three chosen horses to prevail, and so on. As well as the above, you will also find Special markets available, similar to football betting . These include daily specials and Price Boosts around popular jockeys, trainers and meetups.
