Rules for betting on horse racing
Before placing bets on horse racing in a bookmaker's office, it is not unreasonable to familiarize yourself with the basic rules. There are several different odds for the same outcome in the line. As a rule, these are:
- Early quotes, denoted by the abbreviation "EP". They are put out after the participants have been approved and before the horses are taken to the racetrack. This usually occurs a day or two before the start.
- Board odds, also known as "BP". These quotations are actual at the moment of taking the horses to the hippodrome.
- Starting quotes or "SP". According to these you can make a bet just before the start.
Usually these figures are not particularly different, although there are exceptions.
In addition to the odds, it is worth considering the peculiarities of the payout of the winnings. The methodology for calculating bets on horse racing is as follows:
- If the judges recorded false start or there was another incident that initiated a second race, the amount of winnings depends on the number of participants who participated in the second race.
- If the race is cancelled or if there is one horse at the start, the wager will be calculated at odds of 1.
- If one trotter comes to the finish line, the maximum distance will be taken into account in the calculation. If one of the "athletes" is absent, the remaining trotter is added a few hulls, depending on the type of race.
- To win in a competition between two horses, one trotter must cross the finish line. If the horses finish at the same time or fail to complete the race, the wager is settled with a return.
These are basic norms common to all bookmakers. Each betting company may have its own rules, which are worth learning ahead of time.
