Horse Betting: Difference Between Exacta Box and Quinella
So, after reading the last two posts, people are probably wondering what the difference is between a Quinella and a two horse Exacta Box.
Well, first, remember that you can box several horses. A Quinella is limited to two horses.
Second, they are different pools of money, which means it is possible that they will pay differently.
Finally, the payouts and cost of the bet are different.
Remember that when you bet an Exacta Box, you are actually making two bets. So, a $2 Exacta Box with two horses will actually cost $4 to place. The payout, however, is on the $2. The Quinella, on the other hand, is a single bet, and therefor only costs $2.
