Across the Board Horse Bets

When betting Across The Board, what you are doing is placing a bet on one horse to either win, place or show. All of your bet is solely based on the performance on that one horse. The rest of the field is no longer relevant. Doing this, gives the bettor a window for error, while also getting money back for predicting one horse to perform well. It is a very simple, quick way to bet and tell the track that you believe the horse is good enough to finish in at least third. The payout increases depending on how high that horse finishes exactly.

When you make an Across The Board bet, what you are affectively doing is placing a $2 bet (or $1) on a win, a bet on a show, and a bet on a place. If the horse finishes in any of these spots, it is a win and a cash payout for the bettor at Online Racebooks. If the horse finishes first, all three bets are collected on, if he finishes in second, the place and show bets are collected, and if he finishes in third, only the show bet is collected. This final collection is the lowest of them all because it has the highest probability that it will happen.

This strategy is usually employed by those who want the safe bet, while still being able to enjoy the excitement of the race. Consider the odds of Across The Board wagering. Sometimes there is a horse that is running very well, but you have some doubts about his ability on the day's track. Or maybe there is a handful of horses with favorable odds, and there is difficulty discerning between them. Taking him with the board insures that you will likely have the winning ticket on one of these horses. The drawback is the payout is minimal compared to other kinds of bets, say Exotics, that require specific predicted results to result in a win. This is extremely difficult, so if the bettor simply wants to have an enjoyable day at the track, and is not worried about chasing a pipe dream for the one big payout, Across The Board betting may be the answer.
