What is a Forecast bet?

A forecast bet is a wager in which the bettor predicts the first and second-place finishers in an event, typically a horse race, in the exact order. The bet only wins if the selected competitors finish in the specified sequence; any other outcome results in a loss.

How many bets are in a Forecast Bet?

A Forecast Bet consists of one bet where you predict the first and second-place finishers in the exact order. However, if you place a Reverse Forecast, it includes two bets, covering both possible finishing orders of your chosen selections.

How does a Forecast Bet work?

A Forecast Bet works by requiring the bettor to correctly predict the first and second-place finishers in a specific order within an event, usually a horse race or a greyhound race.

How do you calculate a Forecast Bet?

A Forecast Bet payout is calculated using either fixed odds or the Computer Straight Forecast (CSF) formula. In fixed odds forecasts, bookmakers set predetermined odds for selecting the correct first and second-place finishers. For example, if the odds are 11.0 and the stake is €10, the total return would be €110 (including stake). In horse racing, most bookmakers use the CSF method, which considers the starting prices (SPs) of both selections and their likelihood of finishing in that order. If a favorite at 3.5 wins with a 13.0 outsider in second, the forecast odds might be 21.0, meaning a €10 bet would return €210
