As the national hunt horseracing season heading towards its climax with the Cheltenham Festival in March followed by the Grand National in April, interest in two of Britain’s biggest and most popular 토토사이트 betting events is set to reach fever pitch.

If you’ve never placed a bet on either of these events, now may be the time to do so. However, betting on horseracing can seem intimidating, and conjures images of men who haven’t changed their clothes since the 1970s standing in long queues in grubby inner-city betting shops.

Fortunately betting on horseracing has moved with the times, with online betting becoming increasingly popular as the quick and easy alternative to visiting totes. However despite these changes, betting on horseracing can still be a daunting task due to the jargon used.

The jargon of horseracing betting conceals the fact that betting on horseracing is generally quite simple. Here are a few of the most popular betting options decoded:

Betting on a show: A horse that finishes a race with a show finishes in the top three. Betting on a show simply means betting on a horse reaching the top three. An advantage of this bet is that it allows you to bet on three horses in any given race. If all three horses show, you’ll receive three payouts, no matter what order they finish in.

Betting on a place: A horse that finishes a race placed has come either first or second. Once again you can bet on two horses with this option, and can receive a double payout irrespective of the order in which they place.

Betting on a winner: Commonly perceived as one of the easiest bets, betting on a winner is actually one of the toughest betting options. This is reflected in the higher odds paid on winning bets, particularly in handicap races. Whilst betting on a winner involves the simple process of picking your favourite, making an educated selection is far more difficult.
