Understanding Placepot
One of racing's favourite bets - just select a horse in each specified race to be placed (usually the first six races on the racecard). The definition of a 'place' will depend on how many runners there are.
| Number of Runners | Place Designation |
|---|---|
| 2 | 1st |
| 3 | 1st |
| 4 | 1st |
| 5 | 1st, 2nd |
| 6 | 1st, 2nd |
| 7 | 1st, 2nd |
| 8 + | 1st, 2nd, 3rd |
| 16+ | 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th |
Jackpot
This bet is similar to the placepot; however, the horses selected must win each race.
