Melbourne Cup Odds Sportsbet: How to Bet on Major Carnivals

Known as “The race that stops a nation”, Melbourne Cup odds at Sportsbet are available on win and place finishes. The 3200m event at Flemington is one of several carnivals we cover. 

Other leading dates in the Sportsbet racing calendar involve the Karrakatta Plate, Champagne Stakes, Arrowfield 3YO Sprint, and Percy Sykes Stakes.

Exotic Bets: Mystery Trifecta, Quaddies & Each Way

Horse racing  bets include win, place, and multiple exotic stakes. Many of our customers place a trifecta on the first, second, and third finishers in the correct order. For example, back Eye For An Eye, Lucky Chance, and Palentino Heights at Hamilton to place a bet with 6 combos. 

Why not take advantage of our mystery bets? They allow you to combine several selections for exotics like first 4, and exactas. Meanwhile, our fixed odds each-way wagers differ from place bets. The former consists of two separate bets and requires double the stake. For example:

• Back Comme Ci Comme Ca with an each-way bet at Grafton. The horse is 14.00 to win and 3.40 to place. 
• A 1 AUD bet would give you potential returns of 17.40  AUD.

Sportsbet Racing Features: Protest Payout & Bonus Bets

Our horse racing features include protest payout, live streaming, and bonus bets. The first item on the list means we refund punters even if their pick is disqualified. Also known as “First Past the Post”, both selections are paid out as winners when a 1st place protest is upheld. 

Many races offer live streaming. You can watch races by placing a qualifying bet. Just look out for the “Play” symbol for eligible meetings. Whether you enjoy horses, Sportsbet greyhounds, or harness races, you can win bonus bets through our weekly specials.

Sportsbet racing includes harness and greyhounds. Our coverage of trotters includes races from AUS, Canada, the United States, and NZ. Mildura, Manawatu, and Yonkers Raceway are tracks to look out for. Sportsbet greyhounds bets can be placed on races from Australia, the UK, and Ireland. We demonstrate the breadth of our coverage by handing out awards, including “Early Speed” and “Place Rate”, which are indicators of consistency.
