How Daily Double Betting Works
A daily double bet requires selecting the winner of two consecutive races, typically the first two races or the last two races of a card. Your selections must both win for the bet to pay off. The payout is determined by pari-mutuel wagering — the less popular your combination, the higher the potential payout. Daily doubles offer better value than betting two races separately as win bets because the takeout is applied only once to the combined pool.
Daily Double Strategy Tips
- Use singles wisely: When you have high confidence in one leg, single that horse and spread in the other leg to reduce ticket cost.
- Consider pace scenarios: Look for races where the pace setup strongly favors a particular running style.
- Check trainer intent: Trainers often place horses strategically in daily double races — look for positive patterns.
- Watch for value: The daily double pool often offers better prices than win betting on heavy favorites.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a daily double bet in horse racing?
A daily double is a wager where you must correctly pick the winners of two consecutive designated races. Most tracks offer early daily doubles (races 1-2) and late daily doubles (last two races of the day).
How much does a daily double bet cost?
The minimum daily double bet is typically $1 or $2 depending on the track. You can box multiple horses in each leg, but the cost increases with each additional horse. A 2x3 daily double (2 horses in leg 1, 3 in leg 2) costs 6 times the base bet.
What tracks offer daily double wagering?
Nearly all North American thoroughbred tracks offer daily double wagering, including major tracks like Churchill Downs, Santa Anita, Saratoga, Gulfstream Park, and Keeneland, as well as smaller regional tracks.
