Types of bets:

Win/Place/Show - These are the terms in horse racing for 1st/2nd/3rd. When you place a win bet, you win if the horse you bet wins. A place bet wins if your horse wins or comes in second. A show bet wins if your horse wins, comes second, or third. I wouldn't recommend place or show betting in this game. It doesn't pay enough.

Exacta/Quinella- When you bet these you are betting which TWO horses will come in first AND second. When you box them, the amount of your bet doubles, but you win if the race finishes A/B or B/A. I would suggest making some wagers on these. Usually exacta boxes pay a little more. You can box more than 2 horses which will give you many more win chances.

Trifecta - Same as above except you are wagering which horses will finish First, Second, AND Third. A trifecta is the toughest bet to hit, so it pays the best. Try boxing 4 or 5 horses and you'll hit a few of these.

You can bet on any horse in the game. You can see which horses are favored by checking out the odds screen. The odds in the win column next to each horse determines who is favored. If the lowest horse in the win column is 4.1, this means that he will pay 4.1 to every 1 dollar wagered. You can make more than one wager, and can repeat the same wager over and over. The largest single wager the game will except is $999.

Hope this helps.
