Playing belmont.com's daily double involves picking the winning horse in two consecutive races. all tracks offer the early daily double which involves races #1 and #2. Most tracks also offer a late daily double, which is typically the last two races of the day. Some tracks also offer a rolling daily double, which is on any two consecutive races. To win a daily double, you must pick the winning horse in each of the two races. Combination bets can also be made on daily doubles.
When you are confident of a horse winning, but are uncertain of the outcome of the "other race", especially if the horse in which you are confident has good to excellent odds, you might want to consider the Daily Double Wheel.
In this wager you bet your key horse with all the horses in the "other race". your key horse might be in either of the two races. The formula for calculating the cost of the Daily Double Wheel is simply the number of horses in the "other race" times the dollar value of your bet.
Example: The "other race" than the race containing your key horse has 10 horses and you wish to make a $2 bet. (2 x 10 = $20)
The Daily Double Part-Wheel wager is a further refinement of the Daily Double Wheel. This allows you to exercise your handicapping skills to eliminate all horses that you think will not win the "other race", reducing the size of your investment.
Example: As in the Daily Double Wheel you have a key horse in one race and 10 horses in the other race. But you have decided that only 5 of the 10 horses have a chance of winning their race. In the Daily Double Part-Wheel, you have the one horse in the first race combined with 5 horses in the "other race". If you wish to bet $2, your cost would be (2 x 5 = $10).
