Horse racing in 1xBet India
Betting on horse racing is one of the oldest and most popular trends in the betting industry. The combination of excitement, spectacle and the opportunity to win attracts millions of betting enthusiasts around the world. For beginners, however, this type of betting can seem complicated and confusing because of the many specific terms, rules and factors affecting the outcome.
Horse racing betting basics in 1xBet India
Horse racing is one of the oldest and most popular betting sports in the world. First, it is important to understand the different types of bets available on horse racing. The most common of these are winner bets (on the horse that comes first), place bets (on the horse that finishes in the prize three) and each-way bets (essentially a combination of the previous two). There are also more complicated options such as betting on multiple horses (forecast/tricast), betting on the horse that is sure to beat another horse (match bet), etc.
Another key factor is the odds, which reflect the likelihood of each horse winning according to the bookmaker 1xBet. The higher the odds, the less likely the horse is to win, but the more you will win if it does. You need to analyse these odds carefully when selecting a bet.
It is important to consider the form and performance history of horses and jockeys, track conditions, weather conditions and other variables that can affect the outcome of a race. For this purpose, it is useful to study statistics and read expert predictions.
Types of horse racing bets available at 1xBet in India
1xBet in India offers the following selection of horse racing bets:
- The Win Bet is the simplest option. You bet on the horse you think will come first. If it wins, you receive your winnings according to the odds.
- Place Bet – in this case, you bet on the horse that is expected to finish in the top three (first, second or third). The odds of winning are higher than in a winner bet, but the odds are usually lower.
- Betting Without (Betting Without) – allows you to bet on horse races by eliminating the favourite from consideration. This can be useful if you think the favourite is overvalued and want to get higher odds on other horses.
- Forecast and Tricast are bets that two (Forecast) or three (Tricast) specific horses will finish in a certain order. They are more difficult to predict but offer potentially high payouts.
- Match Betting – you choose one horse against another, and your horse must finish earlier, regardless of its overall position in the race.
In addition, 1xBet in India offers several exotic and combination bets such as multi-race bets, even/odd place bets and others.
Win Bet at 1xBet in India
Win Bet is one of the simplest and most popular types of bets on horse racing available at 1xBet in India. The essence of this bet is to choose the horse that you think will come first in the race. If your choice is correct, you receive a payout according to the odds set by the bookmaker.
Here’s how it works: let’s say you decide to bet on a horse called “Fast Wind” in an upcoming race. The odds of her winning the race are 4.0. This means that if you bet ₹1000 and Fast Wind does finish first, you will get ₹4000 (₹1000 x 4.0). If, on the other hand, the horse fails to live up to expectations, you will lose the amount bet.
The advantage of betting on the winner is its simplicity and potentially high payout, especially if you correctly guess the result in a race with an implicit favourite. However, it is important to remember that the higher the odds, the less likely the horse is to win according to the bookmaker’s judgement.
Place Bet at 1xBet India
Unlike a winner bet, where the chosen horse must finish first, a place bet assumes that the horse will take one of the prizes (usually first, second or third, depending on the number of entrants in the race).
The advantage of a place bet is that you have a better chance of winning compared to a bet on the winner. Even if your horse doesn’t come first, you can still receive a payout if he finishes in the winning three. However, it’s important to note that the odds for place bets are usually lower than betting on the winner because the odds of winning are higher.
Here’s an example: suppose you decide to place a place bet on the horse Silver Arrow at odds of 2.5. If you bet ₹1000 and Silver Arrow finishes first, second or third, you will receive ₹2500 (₹1000 x 2.5). If, on the other hand, the horse finishes fourth or lower, you will lose your bet.
Betting Without (Betting Without) at 1xBet in India
Betting Without (Betting Without) at 1xBet in India is an interesting option for punters who want to bet on a horse race, excluding the clear favourite.
Here’s how it works: let’s say the upcoming race involves a horse called Lightning, who is considered the clear favourite at odds of 1.5. All other horses have odds of 5.0 or higher. If you think Lightning might not live up to expectations, but you’re not sure which horse might beat him, you can place a no-favourite bet.
Let’s say you have selected a horse called Hurricane at the original odds of 7.0. If you place a “no favourite” bet on her, you will only consider her position relative to the other horses, excluding Lightning. If Hurricane comes second to Lightning, it will be a win for your bet.
1xBet offers a “no favourite” option for selected races where there is a clear leader. The odds for this type of bet are calculated taking into account the exclusion of the favourite from the race. They are usually lower than the original odds, as the chances of other horses winning are increased.
Forecast and Tricast in 1xBet India
A Forecast bet requires you to predict which horses will finish first and second in a specified order. For example, if you place a Forecast bet on the horses “Wind” and “Thunder”, then “Wind” must come in first and “Thunder” must come in second to win the bet.
Tricast is a similar bet, but here you must correctly predict the horses that will finish first, second and third in the order listed. For example, if your Tricast is Wind, Thunder, Lightning, they should finish in that order.
1xBet in India offers several variations of these bets:
- Straight Forecast/Tricast: you specify the exact order of the horses. This is the most difficult but potentially the most profitable option.
- Reverse Forecast/Tricast: here you specify the horses, but they can finish in any order. This increases your odds a bit, but the payout will be lower.
- Combination Forecast/Tricast: you select several horses and they can finish in any order. The more combinations you cover, the higher the value of the bet, but the chances of winning also increase.
The odds for Forecast and Tricast depend on the horses selected and the type of bet. They can be very high, especially for Straight options, as it is difficult to predict the exact order of finish.
However, it is important to realise that high odds also reflect a low probability of winning. Forecast and Tricast bets require in-depth analysis, experience and, to a certain extent, luck.
Match Betting at 1xBet India
In this type of bet, you choose one horse against another in a separate “match” and your task is to predict which horse will finish first. The position of the horses relative to the rest of the field is irrelevant in this case.
Here’s how it works: let’s say a bookmaker offers a match between the horses’, Hurricane and Thunder. You believe that Hurricane will finish ahead of Thunder, and you place a bet accordingly. If Hurricane does finish ahead of Thunder, regardless of their overall position in the race, you win the bet.

Betting strategies for horse racing
- Betting on favourites: One of the simplest strategies is to bet on the favourite horses in each race. Although the odds may not be high, consistently picking the horses with the best chance of winning can bring consistent profits over the long haul.
- Finding Value: A more advanced approach is to look for horses whose odds you think are undervalued by the bookmaker. This requires in-depth analysis of the horses’ form, track conditions and other factors, but can lead to bets with high potential payouts.
- Dutching: This strategy involves betting on multiple horses in the same race in such a way as to guarantee the same profit no matter which of the selected horses wins. This can be difficult to implement but potentially reduces risk and increases the chances of a positive outcome.
- Betting on horses running on a preferred distance/surface: Some horses perform best on certain types of tracks or distances. Identifying these preferences and betting on horses when conditions are optimal for them can provide a high probability of success.
- Following successful jockeys/trainers: Sometimes it makes sense to bet on horses run by leading jockeys or trained by successful trainers, especially if they have a good record at a particular racetrack or in certain types of races.
