5Dimes Racebook






Competitive horse racing is one of the world's most ancient sports, flourishing for thousands of years as the sport of kings. And now with the modern convenience of the Internet, wagering on the horses is just a few mouse clicks away. At the 5Dimes Racebook, we make betting on the horses easy.
5Dimes Racebook will take action on everything from the win, place and show bets, to exotic wagers like exactas, trifectas and superfectas. Playing the horses is similar to playing the lottery, with options for straight or boxed numerical selections.
5Dimes will give you access to wagering at all the top tracks. From Belmont Park, to Churchill Downs, to Santa Anita, 5Dimes brings you all the best thoroughbred racing. Member players can start right away by selecting a track and getting the lineup for each day's races. Follow the links below for details.

Types of Racebook Wagers




The horse wagering software can be accessed by using the "Player Login" or by selecting "Racebook" from the menu in the Sportsbook.
To place a bet, select the desired track from the menu. All available races and betting options will be available on this screen. Simply point and click to choose your desired options.
Straight Wagers - "Win" means First place, "Place" is Second place or better, and "Show" is Third Place or better.
Exotic Wagers - Making an exotic bet is just like placing a straight wager, except now you will be selecting multiple horses. All selections must win. Track consolation payouts will not be credited. The following is a list of exotic wagers we offer:
Exacta: Choose two horses to come in 1st and 2nd in the specified order.
Trifecta: Choose horses to come in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in that specified order.
Superfecta: Choose horses to come in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th places in that order.
Quinella:A wager where two horses are selected to finish first and second in any order.
Daily Double: A bet attempting to pick the winner of two consecutive races.
Pick3: The Pick 3 requires you to select the winner of 3 consecutive races.
Pick4: The Pick 4 requires you to select the winner of 4 consecutive races.
Pick5: The Pick 5 requires you to select the winner of 5 consecutive races.
Pick6: The Pick 6 requires you to select the winner of 6 consecutive races.
Coupled Pairs: Horses are coupled in the betting if they share the same owner. If you place a wager on one coupled horse, you automatically get the other. So if you select a horse that is part of a coupled pair (horses 1 and 1A), both of the coupled horses are considered as one selection. For example, if you played 1-3-7 as your Trifecta and the result was 1A-3-7, you win. Also, if one horse gets scratched, you have the other horse regardless of which horse you selected. For example, if you select 1A and 1A gets scratched - you still have the 1 horse.
Results - As race times may change over the day, any wager made after a race begins will be voided. Most tracks are available until the gates open to begin the race. Post posted wagers will result in an immediate blocking of all accounts involved. Races are graded as soon as possible after track payouts are made available. 10% bonus awards are applied to the track payouts manually. These bonus payouts will take slightly longer than the track payout to be applied.
Scratches - Horse scratches are updated automatically by the system. If you wagered on a horse before it was scratched, the follow rules will be applied:
Win / Place / Show: All wagers refunded when the race is graded.
Exacta / Trifecta / Superfecta / Quinella: Each portion of your wager, which involves a scratched horse, will be refunded when the race is graded.
Daily Double / Pick 3 / Pick 4 / Pick 6: Only selections including all winners & scratches are eligible for a payout. Track consolation payouts are automatically applied by the system. If no track consolation is paid for a ticket with all winners & scratches, a win track payout price parlay will be manually calculated for all correct selections. This manually calculated payout will not be eligible for any extra promotional payout amounts. Contact 5Dimes customer service to have this payout manually applied.

Rules for Horse Wagering




All horses involved in a horseracing proposition must run for action.
A horse vs. horse match-up may have a position handicap. If the number is positive (+), then you subtract that number of positions from that horse's finishing position. If the number is negative (-), then add that number of positions to that horse's finishing position. The horse with the lower finishing position after the handicap is applied is the winner.
A race must have a minimum of 4 horses run or all wagers will be no action.
Track consolation consolation payouts (ie. 5 out of 6 winners) are not paid.
Races with post times after midnight eastern time are graded the following morning.
The minimum wager over the phone is $20 each bet.
Wagers with a Ticket Post Time a second or more after an official off time at a track will ALWAYS be graded a Past Post. All Past Post wagers have the risked funds returned at the time the race is graded.
