What Types Of Bets Can I Place On The Melbourne Cup?

November 1st, 2013 by Pom de Turf

So you’ve been keeping an eye on the news in the run-up to the Melbourne Cup, and we’re closing in on November 5th and the day of the race. You’ve maybe picked out a couple of horses that you think are in a strong position to win it, and you’ve maybe got your eye on a couple more that are good value for a bet. But what are the types of bets you can put on?

The simple answer is that at Sportsbet, they’ll accommodate pretty much whatever bet you have in mind. There’s a huge range of fixed bets already listed for you, and their easy-to-use betting slip feature lets you see where you’re going with your bets. Here are some of the bets you might want to bear in mind for the Melbourne Cup:

Win Or Each Way: either back your chosen runner to win it outright or to finish close to the winner. Sportsbet are paying out four places for the Cup…

First Four: pick the first four horses to finish, with different odds depending on whether you think you can nail the precise order, or if you just know the four horses you fancy to finish ahead of the rest.

Quinella: just pick the first two horses past the post. Easy.

Exacta: like a Quinella, you have to know which two runners will be quickest, but with the Exacta, you have to get them in the right order, as well.

Trifecta: pick the first three finishers in the right order to win this one.

That gives you an idea of what’s on offer at Sportsbet. Get all your Melbourne Cup odds 2013 by following the link, and then head to Sportsbet to place your bets when you’re ready…
