- Wager on a horse to win or place, meaning that the horse will finish first in the race. A betting slip is a handy way to keep track of what you've bet on which horses in which races.
- If the horse is considered a "favourite", you will not collect a large portion of the winnings. It indicates that the horse's odds pay out the least.
- Therefore, the smaller the number of punters who picked the winning horse, the larger your share will be.
Types of Tote Bets Online
- Tote Exacta - punters must predict the order in which horses will finish in first and second place.
