Instead of guessing which of the three might win, you can play three combinations, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3.
It is very common for bettors to make more than one wager on an individual type of bet.įor example, in a Daily Double (picking the winner of two consecutive races), you might love number one in the first race, but in the second race think number one, two, and three are really similar. We’ll get into some of the specifics below. To win, you must select the winner of consecutive races before the first of the series of races begins.Ī Daily Double is the winner of two races in a row, a Pick 3 is three straight races, a Pick 4 means you must select the winner of four consecutive races, a Pick 5 is hitting five winners in a row, and the Pick 6 is six straight winners. Horizontal wagers are essentially parlay bets.
