How To Place A Bet
Don't
be intimidated! It's fun! We at Ocean Downs & Cambridge
Turf Club pride ourselves on having friendly and helpful
ticket sellers. If you don't understand something, just
ask. Our sellers, supervisors, and management team are
here to answer your questions and make your day at the
races as enjoyable as possible.
Once
you have decided what you want to bet, head to the nearest
seller's window. There is a specific order in which
you should ask for your wager:
#1
State the name of the track you wish to bet.
Not
only do we offer wagering on our live racing, we also
offer simulcast wagering on tracks from all over the
country. On many days we offer over 20 tracks, so this
is an important first step in getting your bet down
accurately.
#2
State the race number.
It's
not necessary to state the race number as long as you
are betting the next upcoming race. If you are advance
wagering (placing a wager on a race later in the day)
it is very important that you say the race number.
#3
State the amount you wish to bet.
#4
State the type of wager.
#5
State the program number of the horse(s) you wish to
bet.
That's
it! Simple, right?
Here
are some example bets:

exacta,

Self-Service
Wagering

After
you have placed your bets, it is important to check
your tickets for accuracy. You will want to check the
five points listed above to make sure that you have
the bet you want.
