Despite its widespread popularity and worldwide appeal, the historic sport of horse racing often suffers from people who lack knowledge of particular jargon which is specific to the sport. To be fair to those who are unaware of some of this language, horse racing does have its own language sometimes with a great deal of confusing or unusual words. Veterans who know the sport will know these terms inside out from their experience with <\/span>racing tips<\/span><\/a>, but if you are a beginner looking to get into the sport have a read of our handy list of jargon for racing betting newbies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Odds<\/b><\/p>\n This is a term which spans all of the sports betting markets. Odds is the numerical chance of a selection to win when a bet is placed. Odds can be a bit confusing to new bettors but with experience you are bound to get your head around them sooner or later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Combination Bet (Accumulator)<\/b><\/p>\n Whilst odds are the price at which the bet is put on, these odds can change depending on the bet and time of bet you are selecting. A combination bet or more commonly known as an accumulator is two or more bets put on at the same time who all need to win for the punter to win the bet. This increases the odds and chance of profit but tends to be harder to predict.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ante-Post<\/b><\/p>\n An ante-post bet is one that is placed in advance of the final declarations of the race, this means you get better odds but you ruin the chance of hiccups like Non-runners (horse who drops out) where the betting companies will not offer you a refund.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Banker\/Outsider<\/b><\/p>\n
