Quadpot Bet
The Quadpot Bet is another popular pool betting option in horse racing, offering bettors a chance to win by selecting horses to place. In this article, we’ll explain what this is, how it works, and why it’s a good option for those looking for an easier pool bet.
What is a Quadpot Bet?
A Quadpot requires you to select a horse to place in each of the last four races at a meeting. Unlike the Jackpot, which involves six races, the Quadpot only focuses on four. As long as your chosen horses finish in the top positions (based on the race rules), you’re in with a chance of winning.
Just like other pool bets, the Quadpot collects all the stakes into a pool, which is then shared among the winners. The fewer people who win, the larger the payout. If no one wins, the pool can roll over to the next race meeting.
For example, if you place a £1 Quadpot and your horses place in all four races, you’ll win a share of the total pool. Payouts can vary depending on the size of the pool and how many other winners there are.
Is the Quadpot Bet a Good Option?
The Quadpot Bet is a great choice for punters who want the excitement of pool betting but find the Jackpot too challenging. Since it only covers four races, it’s less risky, but still offers the chance of substantial pay-outs. It’s ideal for those looking for a balance between risk and reward.
