Wagering Strategies

WIN: The first runner to cross the finish line WINS. You collect if the runner you chose to WIN comes in first. The minimum wager is $2.

PLACE: The second runner to cross the finish line PLACES. You collect if the runner you chose to PLACE comes in first or second. Minimum wager is $2.

SHOW: The third runner to cross the finish line SHOWS. You collect if the runner you chose to SHOW comes in first, second or third. Minimum wager is $2.

ACROSS THE BOARD: In this type of wager, you are actually making three individual bets on a runner. A WIN bet, a PLACE bet and a SHOW bet. If your selection WINS, you collect on all three bets. If your selection runs second, you collect on PLACE and SHOW bets. If your selection runs third, you collect the SHOW bet only. The minimum wager is $2 but remember that your total cost will be three times your minimum amount. For example, a $2 'Across the Board' bet would cost $6.

DAILY DOUBLE: This is a bet involving two consecutive races. You win by picking the winner of the first race and the winner of the second race.

QUINELLA: When you bet a Quinella, you are selecting the two runners that will cross the finish line first and second, in either order. Example: If you select Quinella 5-8 and the race finishes with #5 winning and #8 running second or if  #8 wins and #5 runs second, you win the Quinella. Minimum wager is $2.

QUINELLA BOX: You can also combine more than two runners and 'box them in' so that all combinations of those numbers are covered.

WHEELING THE QUINELLA: You can also 'wheel' a favorite runner, so that it is combined with all the other runners. Based on the $2 value, the total cost of a wheel is $14. For example, if you wheel #3 with ALL the other runnners in the same race and #3 comes in first or second, you win because you have ALL other combinations covered.

EXACTA BOX: As with the Quinella box, you are combining your selections and boxing them in so that all combinations of those numbers are covered.

TRIFECTA: A trifecta is played by picking the first three dogs/horses to finish in the exact order. Example: If you ask for a $2 Trifecta 2-4-8, you would collect if the race finished with #2 to win, #4 to run second, and #8 to run third. Minimum wager is $2.

BOXING THE TRIFECTA: To improve your chances, boxes can be purchased for a cost of $1 per combination. Example: A $1 Trifecta box on #2, #3, and #4 covers all six possible combinations of those numbers for a total cost of $6. (All $1 Trifecta boxes pay half of the posted $2 straight Trifecta price)

SUPERFECTA: The straight Superfecta is played by picking the first four greyhounds to finish in their exact order. For example, If you ask for a $2 straight Superfecta 1-3-4-8, you would win if the race finished exactly 1-3-4-8 with the #1 to win, #3 to run second, #4 to finish third, and #8 to finish fourth. Minimum wager is $2.

BOXING THE SUPERFECTA: You can also box four numbers in the Superfecta for only $24. For example, if you box the #5, #6, #7 and #8 runners, you will win if any combination of those four runners finishes in the top four positions.

WHEELING THE SUPERFECTA: You can also play the Superfecta with $1 key wheels. You may choose a key runner to finish first, and then play that key runner with three others to come in second, third, and fourth. For example, if you bet a $1 Superfecta wheel with the #1 keyed over the #3, #4, and #8, you would win if the #1 finishes first, and the #3, #4, and #8 runners finish second, third and fourth, in any order.
