PICK4 WAGERING
As a gambler, you may find it very interesting to win the bet you placed in a single horse race. There is something much more fun than that. Just try to play the pick4 to select 4 different winners from four different races!
All the racetracks offer the pick4 betting which requires you to select four winners from 4 consecutive races, one from each race, just in a single ticket.
Pick4 horse racing bet
By playing the pick4 wager, you will win if the selections you made in the four different horse races are correct. The minimum amount of money that can be staked on a pick4 bet is $0.50. Even the minimum stake of the online pick4 bets and the pick4 being placed on the track are the same.
There are different types of pick4 betting and we are going to consider them one after the other.
- The first type is the $0.50 minimum wheel which all tracks offer. This type of pick4 bet makes it easy for any bettor including the average ones to use many horses without spending too much.
- You can opt to play the pick4 for a dollar which would mean that you would get double the .50 cent payout, the higher the denomination of course will increase the cost of your pick4 ticket.
- And there is the straight pick4 bet. With this one, many tracks accept a minimum bet of $2 to be placed on a horse in just one leg at a time. Here is an example:
If you are playing the straight $2 pick4 bet and you select horse number 2 to be the winner of the 1st leg, 5 for 2nd leg, 6 for 3rd leg, and 9 for 4th leg, it would be rendered as:
Straight $2 pick4 – 2, 5, 6, 9 = $2.
Now, let us talk about the amount of money that can be won while playing a pick4 bet.
Possible winnings on a pick4 bet
Every gambler likes to win and as a gambler, you will be delighted to know that you can have an unlimited winning on a pick4 bet, although the pari-mutuel system determines that. If you wager the tickpick4 minimum stake of $0.50, and you correctly select the four winners during the Breeder’s cup, you will receive a whopping $29.725 pick4 payoff, almost 60,000-1 payout.
Most people have asked if they can select more than a single horse in every single leg of the pick4. Well, the answer to that question is, ‘yes’! If you are not so confident in selecting a single in a race, the choices can be narrowed down by picking more than one horse. You can even decide to go expensive by selecting the whole horses at a go in one race. But, you have to be careful and monitor your ticket’s cost.
