Melbourne Cup Betting Info:

Since the 2010 Melbourne Cup is a highly prestigious race, the opportunities to win cash out of online betting are as prestigious as well. Not only does the Melbourne Cup attract local punters but it also gets attention from foreign bettors. While the Melbourne Cup has a prize pool of $6 million, the bets collected for the race easily tops that.

With a race distance of 3200 metres, punters will watch every stride in hopes of casting the right bet with the bookmakers. Due to the strong field of competitors every year, the front-runners in the betting odds are not guaranteed of a victory. Thus, punters take time in casting their bets for big prizes are at stake.

Betting options for the 2010 Melbourne Cup can be divided into two, the normal bets and the exotic bets. The normal bets include the Win bet, the Place bet and the Each Way bet. Based on their names, you will win your Win bet if the horse that you’ve bet on won the race while your Place bet will earn if your chosen horse finished in any of the top three places.

While the Place bet is of lesser risk, the Win bet offers a bigger cash prize. To combine the two bets, you can go for the Each Way bet. This betting option does not pay much though for it entails minimal risk. Thus, this bet is good for those who are starting in online betting. If you are a seasoned punter, you can try the exotic bets for the 2010 Melbourne Cup.

Exotic bets can be classified into four: Quinella, Trifecta, Exacta and First Four. Each exotic betting option has a box bet option that lets you pick more horses to increase your chances of winning. As for the regular exotic bets, you are only required to select a fixed number of race horses. For the Quinella bet, you must pick the top two finishers of the race in any order in order to win.

For the Exacta bet, you must pick the first and second place finishers in exact order. This bet offers a higher price than the Quinella since it is harder to pick the exact placing of finishers especially with the strong field of competitors that the 2010 Melbourne Cup has.

Meanwhile, the Trifecta bet requires you to pick the top three finishers in exact order. If the Exacta bet alone is hard to pull off, what more the Trifecta bet? Thus, a generous prize awaits anyone who can call a correct Trifecta bet.

For the grandest bet for the 2010 Melbourne Cup, the First Four bet requires you to pick the top four finishers in exact order. Pulling this off might give you a cash prize that is equal to the prize money awarded to the winning horse of the 2010 Melbourne Cup. Due to the tough nature of pulling off this bet, most punters take this as a box bet.

With the 2010 Melbourne Cup just days away, you must head on to your trusted online betting websites and cast your bets. Think about the bet that you would like to place for the bets that are harder to pull off have the highest cash prizes. Placing a bet will also make you enjoy the 2010 Melbourne Cup even more.
