Virtual Horse

How to play Virtual Horseracing

When you enter the Virtual Racing Lobby, you'll be presented with the option to bet on both horses and dogs. You can choose to bet on 'instant races' that run immediately, or on 'scheduled races' that run at a specific time. You'll find the instant races in the upper half of the lobby, and the scheduled races on the bottom.

Instant Races

To join an instant race, just click the horse button at the top of the Lobby. The next screen will provide you with information on the runners, including their track numbers and odds.

For added details, you can click on the name of the horse to see a 'mug shot', their age and sex, their last five places, and a brief description.

Betting formats

There are two different betting formats:

U.K. style displays the odds in fractions e.g., 5/1
International style displays the odds in decimals e.g., 6.00

Bet types

There are also three different types of bets:

  1. Win/Place: You can place both Win and Place bets in the Win/Place betting screen:

    • Win Bet: By making a Win bet, you're predicting the runner will come first and win the race.
    • Place Bet: By making a Place bet, you're predicting that a runner will either come first or second in the race.

  2. Exacta/Forecast: In an Exacta (INT.) or Forecast (U.K.) bet, you're betting on picking the first and second runners in the correct order.

    You can also place a Quinella (or Reverse Forecast) bet that predicts the two runners that will finish first and second, regardless of order. You cannot place an Exacta/Forecast bet on a horse you have already placed a Quinella bet on.You may only place your bets on a maximum of two horses for Quinella bets.

  3. TriCast/Trifecta: In a Trifecta (or Tricast) bet, you're betting on the first three horses to finish the race in the correct order.
  4. You can place any number of Exacta/Forecast or TriCast/Trifecta bets, as long as they add up to no more than $500 in total.
  5. The three bet types are displayed under different tabs within the same screen, which you choose in order to place your bets.
