In horse racing, exotic wagers are bets other than the various straight bet types, such as Win, Place, and Show. These wagers let bettors predict how more than one horse will perform in a race, wagering on up to four horses on a single ticket. Depending on how those horses finish, the ticket holder could win a large sum with as little as a two dollar wager. Such bets are generally best left to professionals and skilled enthusiasts who have good knowledge of the horses and riders. Beginning bettors are usually best advised to avoid exotic wagers unless they have solid information from more experienced handicappers.
