How Race Betting Differs
A horse race has one winner and many runners. Odds are set for each runner, and a bet settles on the official finishing order.
- each runner has its own odds;
- the result is the official finishing order;
- the race card on the event page lists the runners.
Win, Place And Each-Way
Three market names are standard in horse racing. The race terms on the event page show how many places pay.
| Market | How it works |
|---|---|
| Win | The runner must finish first |
| Place | The runner must finish within the paying places |
| Each-way | Two equal bets in one: a win part and a place part |
Pre-Match And Live
The sportsbook takes bets pre-match and live, and odds change in real time as an event goes on. Cash Out closes a bet early on events that support it.
- odds for runners change up to the start;
- Cash Out works only where the coupon shows it;
- settlement follows the official result.
How To Bet On Horse Racing At 1win
A horse racing bet follows the same four steps as any bet in the sportsbook: event, market, stake and coupon. Betting with money is for adults aged 18 or older; access depends on the law of the reader's country and the operator's Terms, set out on the licence page.
- Sign in and top up the balance.
- Open Sports for pre-match or Live for running games, then pick horse racing, the meeting and the race.
- Tap the odds of a runner in the win, place or each-way market.
- Open the bet slip, choose single, express or system and type in the stake.
- Check the odds, the stake and the possible win, then confirm the coupon.
The coupon then appears in the bet history. The same steps work on other sports, for example on the Formula 1 page.
Single, Express And System Bets On Horse Racing
The sportsbook offers three bet types, and all of them accept horse racing picks. An each-way bet counts as two bets, so the stake is doubled.
| Type | How it works | Example | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | One bet on one outcome. The bet wins if the pick is right. | A $10 bet on Team A to win | Low |
| Express | Two or more picks in one bet. Odds multiply, and every pick must win. | Three picks at 1.50 give total odds of 3.38 | High |
| System | Picks are split into several smaller combos. Some picks can lose and the bet can still pay. | Four picks make six doubles | Medium |
Express Bonus With Horse Racing Picks
The Express Bonus adds a percentage to the net win of an express with 5 or more events. Each event needs odds of 1.30 or higher. The rules are the same for every event in the express.
| Events in the express | Bonus on the net win |
|---|---|
| 5 events | +7% |
| 6 events | +8% |
| 7 events | +9% |
| 8 events | +10% |
| 9 events | +11% |
| 10 events | +12% |
| 11 or more events | +15% |
