Placing a bet is easy. You never have to feel intimidated or that you're going to say something wrong. Just remember these easy hints and steps. Before you go to the window, write down your selections and the amount you want to bet. Have your money or winning ticket in hand, then tell the clerk...
- the track you want to bet.
- the race you want to bet.
- the dollar amount you want to bet.
- the type of bet.
- the numbers you have selected.
Example: "I would like Tri-State Racetrack, 4th race, $2.00 quiniela, 1 & 2."
That's all there is to it! Below are charts to help you in your wagering.
