2009 Belmont Stakes Betting

When the Triple Crown is on the line (as it has been in six of the last 10 years), excitement and headcount rises dramatically, spawned by the chance to see history in the making. The Belmont Stakes winner receives a blanket of white carnations, consisting of 300-400 carnations glued onto a green velveteen spread. More Belmont Stake Horse race Info

Triple Crown Horse Racing Tools

 

Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing.

The 2008 horse racing season's top contenders have their sights set on the Triple Crown, so the winner of the Preakness Stakes is usually found among the top ranks of the Kentucky Derby. The field isn't typically as large as the Kentucky Derby, but the Preakness Stakes brings with it a number of challenges and a tight mix of Derby contenders and local heroes. The Pimlico Race Course is known for its speedy surface and sharp turns, which are almost identical to the turns seen at Churchill Downs.

Winning all three legs of the Triple Crown (The Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes) is the greatest accomplishment in Thoroughbred horse racing. Countless horses and riders have attempted the feat but in the 126-year history of the event only 11 horses have been able to pull it off. Affirmed was the last horse to do it in 1978, and the streak since then is the longest in history without a Triple Crown winner.

WIN, PLACE AND SHOW

Win: You win if your horse finishes first.
Place: You win if your horse finishes either first or second.
Show: You win if your horse finishes either first, second or third.

The odds commonly displayed on the Tote Board and on television monitors throughout
the track are the "win" odds. Here are the minimum payoffs on $2 win wagers:

Win Odds Minimum Payoff Win Odds Minimum Payoff
1-1 $4.00 6-1 $14.00
2-1 $6.00 8-1 $18.00
5-2 $7.00 10-1 $22.00
3-1 $8.00 12-1 $26.00
7-2 $9.00 15-1 $32.00
4-1 $10.00 20-1 $42.00
9-2 $11.00 50-1 $102.00
5-1 $12.00

The easiest bet to win is a show bet. If your selection finishes third or better, you win. The Pick 6, requiring the bettor to select six consecutive winners in as  many races, or the Superfecta, requiring the bettor to select the correct 1-2-3-4 order of finish in a given race, are the most difficult. The higher the risk, the greater the payoff.

 

Belmont Stakes Betting  Strategies

(WIN) At odds of 2-1 or higher, bet to win. (PLACE) At odds below 2-1, bet to place, but not to show. UNDERLAY An underlay is a overbet horse. NEVER BET ON UNDERLAYS!! OVERLAY Odds higher than they should be, based on horse's chances of winning. Basically an overlay is an under bet horse. ALWAYS BET ON OVERLAYS YOU THINK HAVE A GOOD CHANCE TO WIN!! Note: Anytime you like an overlay and and underlay, or a good-price horse a low-price horse in the same race, bet the overlay.

THREE DO'S AND DON'TS IN EXACTA BETTING The important point about Exacta wagering (betting horses will finish one-two in the exact order you bet them) is to use positive strategies that will pay off better the more frequently you play.

THE DON'TS 1. Don't bet favorites below 2-1 on top. 2. Don't box pairs of ling shots, which means horses at 11-1 or higher. Instead bet both horses to win. 3. Don't bet baseballs, taking 3 horses and betting every possible combination to come one-two, total of 6 combinations. Note: If you bet a low-price favorite on top, do not use the second and third betting choices on the bottom.

THE DO'S 1. Do bet the favorites on the bottom. 2. Do box pairs of medium-priced horses, such as 8-1 with 6-6. 3. Do bet long shots on top of favorites, but also bet on the long shot to win. 4. Do make sure you have a two to one ratio with the of what picks your are using.

HOW TO WAGER ON MY SELECTIONS If odds are 5/2, 3-1, 7/2, 4-1, 9/2, 5-1, and 6-1, wager to WIN and PLACE. For every WIN unit ($1 bet) bet three units to place. ~~~ NO SHOW WAGERS ~~~ If odds are 7-1, 8-1, 9-1, 10-1, 11-1 and 12-1, wager to WIN, PLACE and SHOW. For every WIN unit wager three place units and three show units. When odds are 13-1 and higher wager two units to place and five units to show for every win unit bet.
