Daily Double

To win a daily double bet you must pick the winning horse in two consecutive races. Your bet must be placed before the start of the first of the two races.

 All tracks offer an early daily double which involves races #1 and #2.  Most tracks also offer a late daily double which is the last two races of the day.  Some tracks also offer a rolling daily double which is on any two consecutive races.  You can also make combination bets.

Daily Double Wheel

When you are confident of a horse winning either of these two races but are uncertain of the outcome of the other race you might want to consider the Daily Double Wheel.  In this bet you bet your key horse with all the horses in the other race.  The formula for calculating the cost of the Daily Double Wheel is (the number of horses in the race other than the race containing your key horse) times the dollar value of your bet.

Example: The race other than the race containing your key horse has ten horses and you wish to make a $2 bet. (2 x 10 = $20).

Daily Double Part-Wheel

The Daily Double Part-Wheel bet is a step further than Daily Double Wheel.  It allows you to exercise your handicapping skills to eliminate all horses that you think will not win the race. This will reduce the size of your investment.

Example:  Like the Daily Double Wheel example above, you have a key horse in one race and ten horses in the other race.  But you have decided that only five of the ten horses have a chance of winning their race.  So, by doing a daily double part wheel, you have one horse in combination with five horses and if you wish to bet a $2 bet your cost would be (2 x 5 = $10).  You will save yourself $10 over the full wheel bet and hopefully you won t throw out the winning horse!
