Can someone explain horse race betting

[ttwarrior1]

wanting to enter the contests, but i just dont know how to bet.

We have 50 for each race and if i want to box 2 horses what do i type

25 dollar exacta box 1/7 or do i type $50 exacta box 1.7

Also what does 1/3/4 - /4/6/7 mean???

[minet123]

you want to type this
1/7 exacta box for $25(Thats two wagers 1/7 and 7/1 for $25 each for total of $50)

1/3/4 is a trifecta
your best move to understand horses racing is to go to Phonebet or TVG or an number of horses racing web sites they will have link to page that explains everything

[ttwarrior1]

so how do i do an exacta with 3 horses, people are posting

2 dollar exacta box, 2/5/6 as an example

[tblues2005]

You are doing it right ttwarrior just say $2 exacta box 2/5/6. You got that right.
