Horse racing betting offers a variety of options, always giving you something new to learn. Below, we've listed all the different types of horse racing bets to help you get started.

Single Bet

A single bet is a bet where you simply bet one horse within a race and nothing else.

Example: You bet £10 on "Thunderbolt" to win. If "Thunderbolt" wins, you win. If not, you lose your stake.

Double Bet

A double bet involves two selections in different events. Both selections must win for you to get a payout.

Patent Bet

Similar to a Trixie but includes single bets as well. It involves seven bets: three singles, three doubles, and one treble.

Example: You bet £10 on a Patent with "Thunderbolt", "Lightning", and "Firestorm". You win something if at least one of your selections wins, with payouts increasing as more horses win.

Trixie Bet

A Trixie involves three selections and comprises four bets: three doubles and one treble. At least two selections must win for you to get a return.

Lucky 15

A Lucky 15 bet consists of 15 bets on four selections: four singles, six doubles, four trebles, and one four-fold accumulator. This type of bet provides multiple chances of winning.

Before you place any of these bets, get familiar with two bookmaker concepts that affect almost every payout: Rule 4 deductions when a horse is withdrawn, and Best Odds Guaranteed for when the Starting Price comes in bigger than the price you took. And whichever bet types you choose, sound bankroll management is what makes the difference long-term.
