How are the winnings for “show” bets calculated?
First, we would like to insist on the fact that there are no links between the winnings for a Win bet (Single – Win or Reverse Forecast) and a Show bet (Single – Show and Placed Dual Forecast). Indeed, there are two different pools. So there cannot be causality between the two pools. Note that abroad, there are some bets for which the Win and Show concepts are linked, with an only pool and particular payment rules. There is no causality, but there is correlation. Indeed, the Single – Win bet materializes what the punters think about the event: “this horse will win”, and the Single – Show bet materializes what the punters think about the event: “this horse will finish either first, second or third – it depends if the race includes less or more than 8 horses -“. Since in both cases it is what the punters “think”, there is a correlation, because to think that a horse will win the race is an event linked to the fact to think that this same horse will finish either first, second or third.
