❏ What Are Straight Forecast▸ Reverse Forecast▸ Combination Forecast Bets?
❖ Forecast betting involves predicting the 1st▸ 2nd▸ place finishers in a race (horse racing or greyhounds). A Straight Forecast (sfc) requires the correct 1-2 order be on your bet, while a Reverse Forecast (rfc) or a Combination Forecast (cfc) allows any order, as long as you have the first 1-2 home in a race on your betting slip.
❏ What Are Straight Tricast▸ Combination Tricast Bets?
❖ Tricast betting involves predicting the 1st▸ 2nd▸ 3rd▸ place finishers. A Straight Tricast (stc) requires the correct 1-2-3 order be on your bet, while a Combination Tricast (ctc) allows any order, as long as you have the right first 1-2-3 home in a race written down in your betting account.
⚖ important betting note▸ The more selections you add to your combination f/cast or t/cast bet ~ the more permutations of wagers you are placing ~ so the more money your bet will cost you. You have to multiple your stake by amount of bets your comb/fcast/tricast involves ~ more horses ~ more bets.
⚕ see the table below for how many bets it will cost you to make more selections.
