Each-Way – An each way bet incorporates two bets on just one horse. Select one horse to either win or place in the Champions Mile for the chance to receive two pay-outs if your selection comes first or to still collect some winnings if your selection comes in second or third.
Champions Mile Exotic Bets
For professional or simply well-practised punters the Champions Mile betting is all about exotic bets. Exotic bets involve up to four horses at a time and are a lot more complex to pull off than the standard Champions Mile bets. However, with a little help from our comprehensive guide you will be able to bet on the Champions Mile like you were born at the track.
Champions Mile Quinella
For a winning Champions Mile quinella, you have to determine the first two horses to cross the line – however, the order in which they arrive is not important. As long as your two runners of choice are the first horses home, you have won and have a huge pay-out to look forward to.
Champions Mile Exacta
A Champions Mile exacta works similar to a Champions Mile quinella again you choose the first two horses to finish the race; however, in a Champions Mile exacta you must pick them in the exact order of arrival. This makes the Champions Mile exacta a difficult bet to win, but in turn it does offer a bigger pay-out than the Champions Mile quinella.
Champions Mile Trifecta
To win a Champions Mile trifecta you have to pick the first three runners across the finish line in the exact order of arrival. A Champions Mile trifecta is considered a massive achievement within the betting community if you can pull it off. To reduce the difficulty of this bet, you can try to place a box trifecta instead, which covers every possible trifecta combination of your selected horses.
Champions Mile First Four
For a successful Champions Mile First Four, you must pick the first four thoroughbred runners to finish the race, in exact order. To pick a winning Champions Mile First Four is no easy feat by any stretch but it does bring you invaluable track credit as a serious punter, as well as a massive pay-out. As with the trifecta, placing a boxed version of this bet will increase your chances of a win, though it is more expensive.
