You can wager in-game currency (Coins) on public races, even if you aren't participating. We offer all the standard simple and exotic wagers you would find at tracks around the World. Like real-world racing, our races are handicapable. Look at the horses' past performances and use your knowledge of horse racing to pick the horses you think will be successful. This can be as simple as picking the horse you think will win or as complex as choosing the top four horses (Superfecta). The choice of how you wager is up to you, whether you want to play it safe or risk it all on a long shot for a huge payday!
N.B. All wagering in Owner's Club is "for-fun" and can only be conducted with "Coins," our in-game currency that can only be used for virtual goods that cannot be redeemed.
In the list of tabs in the bottom menu, the player has access to the Wagering tab. On it, the player views the tracks available for betting. The tracks are arranged in order and the next race starts according to MTP (minutes to post).
The player can select the track, race and bet amount.
If the player clicks on the "My Bets" tab, he can access all the bets that have been placed in the past. It is then possible to view all bets placed ("My Bets"), repeat a bet, view a race or go back to the list of tracks to bet on in the "My Races" tab.
Wagering race list allows to browse races. It is divided into 2 tabs: “Races” and “My Bets”

Below is a list of infographic of horse racing betting types offered by Owner's Club, as well as the specifics following. It's essential to understand the basics of what each bet is called and roughly what it involves.
Win: Your horse must win for the bet to pay off.
Place: Your horse must finish first or second for it to be successful.
Show: Your horse must finish first, second or third.
The "win" bet is the most difficult to get right of these bets, so generally, it will pay off more. Betting a favorite to place or show will mean a lower payout, given that the probability of this horse running in the first three is very high.
Across the Board (win/place/show): This combines all three wagers, so if you bet a horse this way, you are betting that it will win place and show. If the horse wins, you collect on all three bets. If it is second, you collect on the place and show; if it is third, you collect on only the show part of the bet.
Win/Place or Place/Show: Simply a combination of win & place or place & show. There are two combinations, so a $2 bet would cost $4.
Exacta: Correctly picking the horses to finish in 1st and 2nd. It can either be done as a straight bet or box bet (see Exotic Combinations below)
Trifecta: Correctly picking the horses to finish in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. It can either be done as a straight bet, box bet, or key bet (see Exotic Combinations below)
Superfecta: Correctly picking the horses to finish in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. It can either be done as a straight bet, box bet, or key bet (see Exotic Combinations below)
These wagers are only available on races being wagered on in real-world licensed Racebooks, where the wagering is parimutuel.
Daily Double/Pick 3/Pick 4/Pick 6/Pick These bets involve choosing the winners of consecutive races. More than one horse can be added to each leg of the bet, multiplying the cost.
Straight: This is a wager with only one combination, i.e., for a Straight Exacta wager, a punter would choose one horse to win and one to come in second.
Box: Boxing a bet means covering all available combinations. For example, for a Boxed Exacta wager, any of the horses chosen (2+) could come in first or second.
Key: Keying a horse means taking it on top by itself and adding others behind it. So a Trifecta Key means choosing one horse you think will win and then any combination of other horses to fill second and third place behind it.
