Answer 1

You place  your money on a horse that you think will win, the lower the odds the more of a chance the chosen horse has of winning.( in theory). e.g..a horse can start the race @ evens (50/50) ..if you bet £50 & the horse wins you win £100 (bet £50, you end up with £100)...I guess you may already Know about the percentage of odds 2-1, 3-1 4-1 etc, etc..

Google .`Racing post.com` or `Sporting life .com`

Answer 4

With the introduction of betting exchanges now over the last 7 or so years such as Betfair, Betdaq etc you can now also 'lay' horses.

That is the opposite to 'backing' where you think a horse will win. When you lay a horse you are betting for it to lose. It sounds easy but you have high liabilities if your bet loses.
