Forecast Bets

Forecast bets are a type of multiple bet which allows you to predict the first and second placed horses in a race. This is different from an accumulator bet, which requires you to predict the outcome of multiple events.

Forecast bets are usually placed on horse racing, but can also be placed on other sports such as greyhound racing and motorsport. In horse racing, you will often see forecast bets referred to as “dual forecast” or “reverse forecast” bets.

Forecast bets can be very profitable if you are able to correctly predict the first and second placed horses.

What Is a Straight Forecast Bet?

A straight forecast bet is a type of forecast bet which allows you to predict the first and second placed horses in a race.

To place a straight forecast bet, you simply select the two horses that you think will finish first and second in a race. If both of your selections finish in the correct order, you will win the bet. If only one of your selections finishes in the correct position, you will lose the bet.

What Is a Reverse Forecast Bet?

A reverse forecast bet is a type of forecast bet which allows you to predict the first and second placed horses in a race in either order.

To place a reverse forecast bet, you simply select the two horses that you think will finish first and second in a race. If both of your selections finish in either order, you will win the bet. If only one of your selections finishes in the correct position, you will lose the bet.

What Is a Combination Forecast Bet

A combination forecast bet is a type of forecast bet where you select three or more selections to finish in first or second place. By choosing more selections to increase the chances of correctly predicting the outcome, the bet will require multiple stakes for each prediction, thus costing more than a straight forecast.

To place a combination forecast bet, you simply select four horses that you think will finish first and second in a race. If all of your selections finish in either order, you will win
