BETTING GUIDE
Betting is an essential part of racing, and you're able to partake each week! On Friday nights, fields are posted for the upcoming week. You then have 48 hours to submit bets for the fields, as results are posted Sunday nights. While it may seem fast-paced and perhaps a bit daunting, betting is actually very simple. You'll want to reference the fields for that week, where each horse's % Chance is listed in the right hand column. This represents the likelihood that the horse will win the race in question; higher percentages are safer bets, but of course nothing is 100% guaranteed!
There are two types of bets that you can place in Railbirds..
★ The first is a bet to PLACE, where you will receive a payout if the horse in question places 1st-3rd. Payouts are dependent on division.
You may place up to ©20,000 worth of bets. The minimum bet amount is ©50, while the maximum is ©300. This applies per horse, per race. Bets can be placed in the #betting-terminal channel and require payment to be sent to the admin account at the time of placement. Successful bets will be paid after results are released, while unsuccessful bets will be marked as such.
To avoid any "insider knowledge" of placing, betting is closed for Stewards before races are rolled! Betting is open until Sunday for Members/Officials.
