There are many types of wagers available when betting on horse racing. “Exacta” is a wager that requires you to pick the first two finishers in a specific order. “Quinella” is similar, but requires you to pick the first three finishers in any order. “Trifecta box” requires you to pick the first three finishers in the exact order, while a “superfecta” requires you to pick the top four finishers. Other types of wagers include “daily double,” “daily triple” and “Pick Six,” which require you to pick the winners of at least six consecutive races.

Prop bets are creative wagers that involve the outcome of an event. One famous example of a prop bet is betting on the time the national anthem will take. The official time is two minutes and two seconds, but the singer completes it in one minute and 59 seconds. If the singer finishes within the specified time, the under bet wins. However, some states do not allow such wagers, so be sure to check the gambling laws of your state before you place a bet.

The first step to taking advantage of sportsbook promotions is deciding on a sportsbook. If you are new to betting, sportsbooks are an excellent option for newcomers to the sport.
