How Much is a Daily Double Bet?
A simple Daily Double, where you select one horse
in 6️⃣ each race, costsR$1 for a 100% flexi percentage.
You can stake more on the same bet,
and your flexi percentage will 6️⃣ simply increase.
For example, if you stakedR$4 on the
same bet, your flexi percentage would be 400%, entitling you to 400% 6️⃣ of the declared
dividend.
You can also include more than one selection in either race if you like. The
cost of 6️⃣ this bet (for 100%) depends on how many combinations you have.
For example, if
you include three horses in the first 6️⃣ leg and two in the second, you will have a total
of six combinations. This bet would therefore costR$6 for 6️⃣ a 100% flexi percentage.
How
Much Does a Daily Double Bet Payout?
