Other types of bet available

 
 

Each Way (Stake £2)

Select a single dog to finish either first or second. (2 Bets @ £1)


Forecast Reversed (Stake £1)

Select two dogs to finish first & second in either order. (2 Bets @ 50p)
Example:  If you choose traps 3 & 4 your bets are for the dogs to finish 3-4 or 4-3.


Forecast Always (Stake £3)

Select three dogs.  If any two finish first & second you win. (6 Bets @ 50p
Example:  If you choose traps 1,2 & 3 your bets are for the dogs to finish in any of the following order 1-2, 1-3, 2-1, 2-3, 3-1 or 3-2.


With the Field (Stake £5)

Select the dog that you think will win.  Example.  If you choose trap 1 it must win and you are covered irrespective of which dog finishes in second place.  Your bets therefore are for the dogs to finish in any of the following order 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5 or 1-6.  You can also reverse this bet so that you back the others to beat trap 1 as follows 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 5-1 & 6-1.  If you wish to cover both ways, known as FIELD-FIELD you would get all ten options and the cost is £10.

This type of bet is also available in the Forecast or Trio categories.


Trio Always (Stake As Below)

Select a minimum of three and a maximum of six dogs.  If three of your selections finish first, second and third you win.  Each line costs 50p and the number of lines covered are 3 Dogs = 6 lines (Cost £3) 4 Dogs = 24 lines (Cost £12) 5 Dogs = 60 lines (Cost £30) and 6 Dogs = 120 lines (Cost £60).

The track deducts 26% from all winning bet pools to cover Operators Deductions. 

The remaining amount is paid out equally between all winning tickets, ie total amount in pool, less 26% deduction, divided by number of winning tickets.
