In India, horse racing betting has its own unique terminology that every punter should understand. Starting with \“Ante-Post\“, this refers to bets placed well in advance of the race day, often at higher odds. \“Each-Way\“ is a popular bet type where you\“re essentially placing two bets: one for the horse to win and another for it to place （usually top 2 or 3）.
Another key term is \“Forecast\“, which involves predicting the first two horses in exact order. The \“Tricast\“ takes it further by requiring the first three in correct order. \“Accumulator\“ bets combine multiple selections into one wager, where all must win for the bet to pay out. Indian bookmakers also use \“SP\“ or Starting Price, which is the final odds when the race begins.
Understanding \“Handicap\“ races is crucial - these are races where horses carry different weights to level the competition. \“Favourite\“ refers to the horse with the lowest odds, most expected to win. \“Odds-On\“ means the potential profit is less than the stake, indicating a high chance of winning. Finally, \“Non-Runner\“ is a horse that doesn\“t participate, and bets are typically voided or settled accordingly. |
