There are a number of different harness racing betting options for those looking to wager on the gallops.

Below is a glossary of the major betting types and a description of what they mean.

Win - If your horse finshes across the line in front you get your cash

Place - If your trotter finishes first, second or third you'll get a return on your bet

Exacta - Pick two horses in one race, if they finish first and second in the order you selected your bet is a winner

Quinella - Same as an exacta bet but the order doesn't matter 

Trifecta - Picking three horses in a race to finish in the place positions. You can elect to "box" your trifecta for a diminished return which means they can finish in any order, or you can select the exact finishing positions

First Four - Same as a trifecta except you select the first four runners and their positions. Like a trifecta bet you can elect to box it

Quaddrella - Commonly known as a "quaddie" a quaddrella bet is selecting one or more runners to win across the last four races of a card. The more runners you select per race, the less your return will be.
