What Are Forecast Bets?

There are three type of forecast bet available. There are the straight forecast, the reverse forecast and the combination forecast. A straight forecast is when you choose two selections in the same race, to come first and second. You write them in the order that you expect them to win. In both horse and greyhound racing, the amount won depends on the starting price of the selections in that race.

The reverse forecast is where you choose two selections in the same race, but they can come in first and second either way around. This is the same as two forecasts and so is counted as two bets. Again, the amount paid out depends upon the starting price of the selection. A combination forecast requires three or more selections in the same race. Two of the selections must come in first and second place, in any order. The number of bets placed depends upon the number of selections chosen.
