What is a quinella bet?

A quinella bet is a type of bet in horse racing where the bettor selects two horses to finish in first and second place, in any order. This means that as long as the two chosen horses finish in the top two positions, the bettor will win the quinella bet.

Quinella bets are popular among bettors who are not confident in predicting the exact order of the top two finishers but believe they can accurately select the top two horses in a race. This type of bet offers more flexibility compared to an exacta bet, where the bettor must correctly predict the exact order of the top two finishers.

Quinella bets typically offer lower payouts compared to exacta bets, as they are easier to win. However, they can still be a profitable betting option for those looking to add some excitement to their horse racing wagers.
