What are Horse Racing Specials? Specials explanation, bet types and tips
Proposals in horse racing are a great way to enhance your betting experience. Proposals simply allow you to bet on multiple races at the same time.
In this guide, we will explain horse racing props and showcase the most popular props types available at Stake Sportsbook .
What are Propositions in Horse Racing?
Proposition bets in horse racing are different from traditional bets. They usually require you to bet on multiple horses in a single race, or on different horses in different races. They carry a higher risk than single bets, but also have a higher potential reward.
First 2nd, 3rd and 4th place bets are the most common types of special bets. We will look at each of these in more detail below.
How do special bets work? Special bet types
Here are some horse racing bet specials to choose from:
First two places betting
A top two place bet is a type of special bet. As the name suggests, it allows you to select the winner and runner-up in a specific horse race.
Top 3 Position Betting
In a top three bet, you need to pick the first, second and third places in the race. Top three bets are the same as top two bets, you must bet on the correct order of first, second and third place. Once you guess the correct order, you will get a bigger reward.
Top Four Place Betting
A 3rd Place bet specifies the order of first to third place, and a 4th Place bet specifies the order of first to fourth place. In other words, you must pick the top four places in order. This bet is very difficult, but the rewards are also very generous.
Daily Double Lottery Betting
Daily Doubles betting is a great option for betting on horse racing festivals. With Daily Doubles betting, you can bet on two horses in different races on the day of the festival, giving you a more exciting betting experience.
How to place special horse racing bets
Although horse racing specials may sound complicated, it is easy to understand. You can place a variety of bets at Stake Sportsbook, just create an account and deposit funds to get started.
Browse our horse racing betting page and find available races to bet on. Consider the available odds and place a top three or top four bet on your favourite races. You can also watch live streams from many racecourses directly through your Stake.com account.
Special bet odds and payouts
The odds for special bets are similar to those for parlays or accumulators. The more selections you have in your bet, the greater your potential win. For example, the odds for a top four specific place bet are higher than the odds for a top two specific place bet.
However, you need to weigh the risk and reward. The odds on a top four place bet are bigger than a top three bet, so the risk is higher.
It is always wise to start with the top two designated places bets. These bets are the least risky of all the special bets. Once you have gained some experience and have done detailed research on the upcoming matches, you can try different bet types.
