The Quadpot is a bet that requires punters to pick horses to place in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth races of a particular meeting. To win the bet, all your selections must place.
To be successful in Quadpot betting, it is important to do research and study the track conditions and weather on race day. You should also look for consistent runners, such as serial runner-up performers.
It is a tote bet
The Quadpot is a tote betting type that offers punters the opportunity to win large payouts by selecting horses that finish in the top three in an exact order. It operates in the same way as a tote trifecta and reverse trifecta, but with fewer selections. In addition, it pays out a higher percentage of the pool than a straight trifecta.
The quadpot is operated at every meeting and covers races 3, 4, 5, and 6. You can place as many bets as you want per race, but the more horses you select per race – the more lines you will have. You can even include bankers to increase your chances of winning.
You can also choose to add a favourite to your bet if you wish. However, remember that if the favourite fails to make it into the frame then your bet will lose. If a favourite is withdrawn before going under starter’s orders, it will be replaced by the starting price favorite.
Quadpot betting is an exciting and potentially lucrative form of tote horse racing wagering. Punters who are familiar with the rules of this bet type can maximize their profits by making smart decisions and conducting thorough research. In addition, they can enjoy a fun and social experience with friends and family while watching the races.
It is a multi-race bet
A Quadpot bet covers four races at a meeting and pays out if you pick horses to finish first, second, third or fourth. The bet works in the same way as a Placepot and the winnings are shared proportionally between all winning bets. The Quadpot is available for most UK and Irish race meetings as well as some international meets.
There are two main reasons to choose a Quadpot bet. One is if your placepot bet fails in the opening two races and you want to give yourself another chance to win. The other is if your placepot bet has been hit early and you are looking for an insurance bet on the final four races.
To win a Quadpot bet you must select a horse to finish first in races three, four and five and in the top two in races six and seven. You can also add a horse in race eight to make your bet more fruitful. In the case of a dead heat, the horse with the lowest race card number is awarded the placed position.
You can bet on a Quadpot with as little as 1p per line, although it is recommended to bet at least 50p. You can also increase your bets by adding more horses to each leg. For example, if you have four selections in the first leg, three in the second and two in the third, you would bet 24 lines (4 x 3 x 2 x 1). However, be careful not to exceed your budget as betting is a risky business.
It is a placepot bet
A placepot is a bet that involves placing horses in the first six races of a race meeting. If all your selections place then you will receive a share of the prize pot. It is less difficult to win than a multi-leg bet, but it still offers good value for money. The idea behind this bet is to take advantage of the fact that many of the horse’s that fail to make the places in the first two legs are very well fancied and therefore easier to beat.
The bet is available at Tote and online betting sites and all major bookmakers offer it. A quadpot bet can include any number of lines and a maximum stake of PS50 per line. The winnings from each line will be proportional to your stake. If you don’t win a leg, your bet will be rolled over to the next race.
When making your bet it is important to select horses with a high probability of finishing in the top three. These horses are called serial runner-up performers. They are often bad picks for ‘to win’ bets, but are ideal for quadpots. You should also try to select a race with a low number of runners. This will increase your chances of getting a good price on the bet and may result in you winning a large sum for a small investment.
It is a fixed-stake bet
A quadpot is a fixed-stake bet on four races at a Tote meeting. Punters have to pick a horse in each of the races to win. The winnings are based on the size of the pool and the number of winners. The maximum payout is £2000. However, the odds are lower than those for a Placepot bet.
It is important to note that the Quadpot has a higher chance of failing than the placepot due to the fact that it only covers races three through six, rather than all seven races. This means that the odds are much lower and that the potential winnings are less. Nevertheless, if you get one right it can pay four or even five times the amount of a placepot bet.
There is lots of skill required to land a Quadpot but it can also be a fun way to spend time at the track or watching racing on TV. It’s a bet that offers huge rewards for a small stake, adds interest throughout the card at a race meeting and can truly enhance a day out or a weekend spent betting. If you are a serious Tote placepot player then it’s worth trying a Quadpot as well. You can bet as little as two quid on a single leg and this multiplies with each winning line.
