How Pick 4 Betting Works
A Pick 4 bet requires selecting the winner of four consecutive races. The increased difficulty compared to Pick 3 wagers means larger pools and potentially life-changing payouts when you include longshots. Most major tracks feature at least one Pick 4 sequence daily, often positioned in the middle of the card to capture simulcast interest. Some tracks offer multiple Pick 4 opportunities or special low-takeout Pick 4 pools.
Pick 4 Betting Strategy Tips
- Structure around 1-2 singles: The best Pick 4 tickets use confident singles to enable deeper spreads elsewhere.
- Don't fear the favorite: If a deserving favorite offers good value as a single, use them — forcing longshots in every leg is a losing strategy.
- Consider ticket partitioning: Build separate tickets with different structures rather than one massive ticket.
- Target specific scenarios: Create 'A' tickets for most likely outcomes and 'B' tickets for higher variance possibilities.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Pick 4 bet in horse racing?
A Pick 4 is a horizontal exotic wager where you must correctly select the winners of four consecutive races. It offers larger potential payouts than Pick 3 or daily double wagers due to the increased difficulty of selecting four straight winners.
What are typical Pick 4 payouts?
Pick 4 payouts vary dramatically based on the odds of the winning horses. All-favorite sequences might pay $50-200, while combinations including longshots can pay thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. The largest Pick 4 payouts in history have exceeded $100,000.
How do I structure a Pick 4 ticket?
Effective Pick 4 structure starts with identifying your strongest opinions. Use singles (one horse) in races where you have high confidence, and spread to 2-4 horses in more contentious races. Balance coverage with cost — a $48 ticket with smart structure often beats a random $100 ticket.
