Exacta Wagers

An Exacta wager requires that you select the first two finishers of a race in the exact order of their finish. For example, if you select the #3 horse to finish first and the #5 horse to finish second, they must finish in that order.

How to place an Exacta wager:

  1. After signing in, click HORSES to open the Bodog Racebook.
  2. Under Upcoming Races, which is at the top of the left navigation pane, select the track where the race you want to wager on is being held.
    or
    In the alphabetical track listing, which is at the bottom of the left navigation pane, select the track where the race you want to wager on is being held. Note that the link is disabled if the track hasn't offered any races on the current day.

    The upcoming race at that track is selected, and the time remaining before the race starts (MTP) is displayed beside the race time.

  3. If you want to wager on a race other than the one that is selected, click the race time.
  4. Click the Exacta tab. The horses running in the race are displayed in the race pane, along with the gate number, the name of the jockey and the Morning Line odds (ML) for each horse (see Figure 1).
  5. Select the check box for the first position horse under the 1st column and the second position horse under the 2nd column (see Figure 1).

    You can click Box if you want to place an Exacta Box. See Boxes to learn how.

    You can select more than two check boxes if you want to place an Exacta Wheel. See Wheels to learn how.

    Fig. 1. Select check boxes in the 1st and 2nd columns.

  6. Click Add To My Ticket. Your bet is added to your ticket with a default stake amount of $1.00.
  7. If desired, modify the stake amount. Note that the minimum stake is $1.00, the maximum stake depends on the track, and all bets must be an even dollar amount. The cost of your bet is automatically calculated for you (see Figure 2).

    Fig. 2. Modify your stake before proceeding with your bet.

  8. If you've added bets to your ticket that you no longer want to place, click the appropriate "X" icon to remove one bet from your ticket.
    or
    Click Delete All to remove all bets from your ticket.
  9. Click Proceed With Bet.
  10. Review the details of your bet. If you want to proceed, click Place My Ticket. If not, click Back to Races to change the wager details or Cancel Ticket to cancel the bet altogether.

    You can't cancel or modify a bet once it has been placed. As this policy is strictly enforced, make sure that you review and confirm all bet details carefully before clicking Place My Ticket.

  11. You will be notified that your bet has been placed successfully. Either print the wager information, which includes a reference number for the bet, or make a note of the reference number.
  12. Click Back to Races to return to the Racebook.
  13. To confirm the details of your bet in your eCash statement, click the Manage Account link and then click the eCash Statement link in the left navigation bar of the My Account page.
