dsi sportsbook horse racingThe best way to eliminate risk when betting on horses is by betting on a horse to show. This means you win if the horse you choose finishes in first, second or third. Although the payout is substantially smaller than if you bet on a horse to win, it is a good way to wager and still enjoy yourself at the track. Betting on a one horse to show is completely independent from all other horses. It doesn't matter the order, nor does it matter which other horses fill in the other ranks. If your horse hits any of the three spots, it's a payday. The best way to make a decent amount of money implementing this Show Bet is by using it several times in one day. Because of it's relatively low risk, it's safer to continue betting this way until you reach your desired goal.

Another good way of Show betting is by selecting longshots. If there is a horse you believe will perform well on that particular day, and is not a favorite, it would be pretty risky to pick him to win the race, especially when there is another heavy favorite in a lane next to her. But betting on a longshot to finish in at least third place allows a window to be opened for a good performance without a trophy.

The logic behind the payout makes Show Betting best served for longshots rather than favorites. After the track takes it's share, the payout is distributed evenly among winners. Most of the bettors at Online Racebooks will take the favorites in the race for the simple fact that it virtually guarantees a return on their investment. Few wagers will be placed on less popular horses, meaning a show by one of them will result in fewer winners. Fewer winners means a higher percentage of loot distributed.
