Types of Wagers

ZMVP Racebook offers the following types of wagers: Win / Place / Show, Daily Doubles, Exactas, Quinellas, Trifectas, Superfectas, Pick 3s and Pick 4s.

Win

The win bet consists of picking the outright winner in any given horse race; it is picking which horse will come in first. The bet will be deemed a winner only if the chosen horse crosses the finish line first.

Place

The place bet consists of picking the horse that will finish in second place, that is, the runner up in the race. The bet will also be deemed a winner if the horse chose comes in first (win). That is, the horse chosen can come in either second or first for the bet to win.

Show

The show bet consists of picking the horse that will come in third place in a race. The bet will also be deemed a winner if the horse chosen comes in second (place) or first (win). That is, the horse chosen can come in either third, second, or first for the bet to win.

Daily Doubles

The daily double bet is composed by picking the winners of two consecutive horse races at a particular racetrack.

Exactas

The exacta is a bet where both the first place and second place winning horses in the same race must be predicted in the exact order the race is won.

Quinellas

The quinella is similar to an exacta in that both the first place and second place winning horses must be predicted, but the order does not matter, so either of the horses can come in first or second for the bet to be a winner.

Trifectas

The trifecta bet is made up of a prediction of the exact first place, second place, and third place winners in a particular horse race.

Superfectas

The superfecta bet consists of a prediction of the exact first four place winners in a particular horse race. Similar to the trifecta, it takes it one step further by requiring the prediction of the fourth place horse.

Pick 3 or Pick 4

Pick 3 bets consist of picking the winners of three consecutive horse races. Pick 4 bets, similarly, consist of picking the winners of four consecutive horse races. These bets are very similar to a daily double with the difference lying in the number of winners predicted.
