How betting pays out

Odds are determined by how many people bet on each horse, not by the racetrack. Essentially, the more favoured a horse is with bettors, the lower its odds will pay, while the less popular horses will pay out higher odds. These odds are posted on the RV monitors throughout the racetrack and are automatically updated as the bets are entered.

For example, say the odds for horse #2 are 10/1 and he wins. A $2 bet would pay $20 plus you get back the $2 you paid for the bet.

In this example a $2 WIN bet was placed on horse #8 whose final odds were 9/2 and paid $11.90. If a PLACE bet was made then $11.90 would be won. If a SHOW bet was made then $4.20 would be won.
