There are several ways you can place a bet at the MTC:
Bookmakers can be found in the betting ring and on some larger race meetings trackside on the lawn.
Betting with a bookmaker
|
Win |
When you back a horse to Win, you win if your horse finishes first. |
|
Place |
When you back a horse for a Place, you win if your horse finishes first, second or third. There is no collect for third place if there are less than eight runners (except late scratchings). If there is less than three runners, there is no place betting. |
|
Each Way |
When you back a horse Each Way, you collect if your horse wins or runs a place. For Each Way betting bookmakers pay 1/4 of the win odds for a place if there are eight or more runners and 1/3 of the win odds if there are between three and seven runners. There is no collect for third place if there are less than eight runners (except late scratchings) where deductions could apply. If there is fewer than three runners, there is no place. |
|
Win/Place |
Bookmakers also offer Win/Place betting which is displayed similarly to TAB approximate dividends for each runner in a race. Win/Place betting is the fixed odds displayed on the bookmaker’s board, for example $3 Win, $1.60 Place, therefore a bet of $10 Win and $10 Place would return $46 if the horse won the race or $16 if the horse finished second or third in a race of eight or more starters. The Each Way rules do not apply to bookmakers betting Win/Place. |
|
Concession |
When you back a horse Concession, you win if your horse finishes first, and the amount you bet is returned in full if your horse finishes second or third. However, there is no collect for third place if there are less than eight runners (except late scratchings). Concession betting requires a field of at least three runners. |
|
Four Place |
To win a Four Place bet, you select a horse in four separate races to run a place. |
|
Multiple Doubles |
To win a Multiple Doubles bet, you select two horses and multiply the odds on offer, and both horses must win. |
Don’t forget to carefully check your tickets before leaving the bookmaker’s stand and do not discard tickets until correct weight has been declared.
In the event of a late scratching/s your ticket may be subject to deductions ordered by the Stewards.
