  • Across the board: A great betting option that lets you hedge your bets, or collect in three ways if you’re certain you can pick the winner. Choose a horse and you’ll get paid out three ways if the horse wins, two ways if it comes in second and one way if it comes in at third.
  • Betting on a show: All you need to do is choose your winner and place your bet. Whether the horse finishes first, second or third you’ll earn a payout. An excellent Royal Ascot betting option for bigger bets on horses with lower odds.
  • The Trifecta: If you’re genuinely confident that you can predict the outcome of a race, try your hand at a trifecta bet. Also known as a triple bet, this betting option allows you to predict the finishing order for first, second and third place. Generally it pays to keep trifecta bets smaller as a win is far from guaranteed and the odds are amongst the highest available.
  • Superfecta: If trifecta betting appeals to you, why not try your hand at superfecta betting. Superfecta betting involves betting on the outcome of a race from first to fourth place. The extremely challenging Royal Ascot betting option is potentially one of the most rewarding.
  • Pick three: The pick three is a popular Royal Ascot betting option that allows you to bet on the outcome of three consecutive races. Simply pick your winner for each race and watch the action unfold.
  • Pick six: Some of the largest Royal Ascot betting pools are available for those taking part in pick six betting. To make use of this Royal Ascot betting option simply name the winner of six consecutive races. If your winners come through you can expect a massive payout from the betting pool – which can often top the million pound mark.
  • Daily double: If the pick three or pick six looks a little too adventurous for you, why not try the daily double. This Royal Ascot betting option allows you to bet on the winner of the day’s first two races.
