Betting Terminology

Betting doesn’t have to be rocket science. Keep it simple by choosing a horse with a cool name. Or one that’s wearing your favorite color. But if you’re the analytical type who wants to consider a horse’s racing history, learn how to read a Racing Form and try your hand at handicapping.

Placing Your Bet

The easiest way to place your bet or wager is at the counter. Let the teller know the following information:

• The racetrack (remember, you can bet on races at other tracks)

• The race number

• The USDT dollar amount you want to bet

• The type of bet

• Your horse’s number

Ex. “At Santa Anita, third race, five dollars to win on number two.”
