Answer 1

Straight Bets
Straight bets are the most popular bets made on horse races and the account for most money bet on a horse race by the average bettor. Usually the bets at the track are made in $2.00 increments. The bets are:
WIN: If your selection finishes first you collect the amount of the Win payoff.
PLACE: If your selection finishes first or second you collect the amount of the Place payoff.
SHOW: If your selection finished first second or third you collect the amount of the Show pay off.
ACROSS-THE –BOARD:This is when you want to bet a selection to Win, Place and Show. Instead of making three separate wages you combine them on one ticket. A minimum bet of $2.00 “across the board” will cost you $6.00. If your selection wins you collect the combined amount of the three Win, Place and Show payoffs. If your section comes in second you collect the combined amount of the Place and Show payoffs. If your selection comes in third you win the amount of the show pay off.
