Enter the amount of money you wish to bet. Our calculator will take care of the rest. You’ll see how much money you’ll win, and the total payout you’d receive. We set the bet amount to $100, but you can enter any amount you want as long as your bankroll can handle it. Betting a Favorite: The odds for favorites will have a minus (-) sign, and represent the money you need to risk to win $100. So if you're betting on the Packers at -140 against the Vikings, that means Green Bay is a slight favorite. You need to risk $140 to win $100 on the Packers. If they win, you profit $100 and get your original $140 back.

Parlay betting allows horseplayers to bet the races they want, their way. Since your Parlay races don’t have to be consecutive on the card, you can identify the horses you want to bet no matter the race they’re in. Plus, you can alternate between Win, Place and Show bets, so you can build your Parlay based on how strongly you feel about each horse. Plus, parlay wagering is the only way to roll over all of your winnings to the next bet – even the pennies. So you really are betting every penny.

My preferred Parlay betting approach is to build a Parlay around my day’s ‘best bets,’ especially when they’re racing later in the card. Start a small ($10 or $20) five-leg parlay and make the first four legs Show bets on lower-priced horses. Then close it to a Win bet on the horse you like most. You just might be able to parlay your $10 or $20 base bet into a $50 or $100 Win bet on your horse just by making a series of Show bets. And if you lose along the way, you’re only out your starting amount. But if you win, you could be looking at a very nice payout.

Win, Place, and Show are the most basic horse bets. They are the building blocks of more complex bets like the trifecta, superfecta, quinella, or exacta. Win, Place or Show payouts depend on your horse’s odds. Likely winners payout smaller because they are less risky. Long shot horses payout larger because they are more risky.

Check your horse’s odds before making any Win, Place or Show bet. If you pick a heavy favorite to win, your payout will be smaller compared to picking a long shot horse.

Payouts are figured by the amount of money in each bet’s pool. Pools are determined by the total dollar amount wagered for a particular bet, less the racebook’s service fee. This fee is similar to a sportsbook’s vigorish or juice. See the racebook’s tote board for the latest odds.

Highly favored horses to win – or 'odds on' horses – have lower payouts. When this horse wins, the entire Win pool must be divided among all winners. Winning crowd favorites tend to produce smaller profits. Gamblers choosing long shots collect more money because the odds are remote and fewer people share the winnings.

Prudent horses bettors don’t always take the crowd favorite. Over time, this strategy results in sustained losses. Instead, look for medium to long shot horses. These horses represent better value. The fewer bettors in the wagering pool, the better. That means larger payouts are divided among a smaller number of people, versus smaller payouts divided among a large number of people.
