Winning is just the beginning...

Welcome to the Coeur D Alene Casino! Our goal is for you to experience the excitement of off track betting at its very best! We offer wagering on some of the finest racetracks across the United States and Australia. Enjoy your day at the races and good luck! Wagering In pari-mutuel wagering, bettors compete against each other, not against the track, while the racetrack holds the stakes. A percentage of the money wagered is deducted for taxes, purse money and the track share called the takeout. The remainder is divided among the winning bettors. Odds are determined by the amount of money wagered on individual horse or betting propositions. They are automatically calculated by the pari-mutuel computer, after the takeout is deducted. The more money bet on a horse or combination of horses, the lower the odds. The odds to win are usually the odds displayed on the totalisator board and the television monitors. They are expressed in relation to $1 and change as money and betting continues. If your wager is $2, a horse that wins at 5-1 would pay at least $10, plus the $2 wagered, for a total of $12. Each type of wager has its own betting pool. The odds and payoffs for each are calculated separately. The minimum bet can change from track to track. Pay to Win Odds (approximate for a $2.00 bet) Odds Pays Odds Pays Odds Pays 1-5 $2.40 8-5 $5.20 6-1 $14.00 2-5 2.80 9-5 5.60 7-1 16.00 1-2 3.00 2-1 6.00 8-1 18.00 3-5 3.20 5-2 7.00 9-1 20.00 4-5 3.60 3-1 8.00 10-1 22.00 1-1 4.00 7-2 9.00 12-1 26.00 6-5 4.40 4-1 10.00 15-1 32.00 7-5 4.80 9-2 11.00 18-1 38.00 3-2 5.00 5-1 12.00 20-1 42.00 Coeur D Alene Casino Resort Hotel

Pick the Winning Horses Before making a wager, you ll want to know something about the horses. Your primary source of information will be the complimentary racing program. This contains detailed information about each horse and its most recent races. Fans use many different strategies to pick horses. Some use non-technical methods they like the name or color of the horse, or they like the color of the jockey s silks, or the jockey himself. Maybe it s their lucky number. One random selection is as good as any other. Using the racing program will allow you to handicap* the horses, analyzing their past performances to make a reasoned choice based on their relative merits. *See definition for handicap on inside back cover. 1-800-523-2464 www.cdacasino.com

Exotic Wagers Exotic wagers involve picking more than one horse making it more difficult to win. Their payoffs can be much larger than straight wagers. This large payoff possibility makes the exotic wager a popular choice. Some prefer to purchase more than one combination of horses. To facilitate the purchase of multiple combinations, certain techniques have evolved. WHEEL The bettor uses a single horse, called a key horse, in a wagering combination. Wheeling is effective for the daily double, exacta, quinella, trifecta, pick three, pick four, pick six, or pick eight wagers. Daily Double Example Use the #1 horse in the first race with four horses in the second race. Wheel #1 in the first race with #3-5-7-8 in the second creating four combinations (bets) 1-3, 1-5, 1-7, 1-8 at $2 each, for a total of $8. You win if #1 wins the first race and #3, 5, 7 or 8 wins the second race. Quinella Example Wheel the #4 horse with #1-2-6, creating three combinations (bets) 1-4, 2-4, 4-6 for $6. You win if the key horse, #4 finishes first or second with one of the other three, #1, 2 or 6, also first or second. Exacta Example Wheel the #4 horse with #1-2-6, creating three combinations (bets) 4-1, 4-2, 4-6 for $6. You win if the key horse, #4 finishes first with #1, 2 or 6, finishing second. Trifecta Wheel Example Wheel horses #1-2 with #1-2 with #5-6 creating four combinations (bets) 1-2-5, 1-2-6, 2-1-5, 2-1-6 for $4. You win if #1 and #2 finishes first and second (either order), and #5 or 6 finishes third. 1-800-523-2464 www.cdacasino.com

BOX OR BASEBALL An easy way to reverse an exotic wager is to box or baseball, giving you all possible combinations. Quinella Example Box three horses, #1-2-3 for $6 creating three combinations (bets) 1-2, 1-3, 2-3. You win if any two of your selections, #1, 2 or 3, finishes first and second. Exacta Example Box three horses, #1-2-3 for $12 creating six combinations (bets) 1-2, 1-3, 2-3, 2-1, 3-1, 3-2. You win if any two of your selections, #1, 2, or 3 finishes first and second. Trifecta Example Box horses #3-4-5 for $1 each, creating six combinations (bets) 3-4-5, 3-5-4, 4-3-5, 4-5-3, 5-3-4, 5-4-3 for $6. You win if your selections, #3, 4 and 5, finish first, second and third in any order. KEY BOX Select a key horse to run first or second with at least two other horses. Key Box Example Key box the #2 horse with #5-6- 7-8 creating eight combinations (bets) 2-5, 2-6, 2-7, 2-8, 5-2, 6-2, 7-2, 8-2. You win if your key horse, #2, is first or second with any horse from your selections, #5, 6, 7 or 8, also finishing first or second. Exotic Box Wager Costs The cost to box different types of wagers are below. # of $2. 00 $2. 00 $1. 00 Horses Quinella Exacta Trifecta 2 $2. 00 $4. 00 n/a 3 6. 00 12. 00 $6. 00 4 12. 00 24. 00 24. 00 5 20. 00 40. 00 60. 00 6 30. 00 60. 00 120. 00 Coeur D Alene Casino Resort Hotel

Twin Trifecta Wagers Twin trifectas involve two races: 1) Selections are made for race one, called the twin trifecta first half. A winning ticket from the first half is exchanged for a cash payout and the bettor s selection in the next race, called the second half trifecta. One winning combination will allow you one exchange. 2) Bettors can bet multiple first half combinations to increase chances of winning in the second half. SUPERFECTA The superfecta uses the same principals as the trifecta, except you must select four horses. PICK THREE, FOUR, SIX, AND EIGHT These four wagers use the same betting principals as the daily double. Select three, four, six or eight races in a row. Bet them straight or use the wheel. For further explanation, please see a friendly mutuel teller at the Off Track Betting window. 1-800-523-2464 www.cdacasino.com

Race Types Allowance race The weight carried by each horse is determined by the number of races won by that horse, often during a specific time. Claiming race All horses in a claiming race may be claimed or purchased at the stated price. Claiming races are designed to maintain competition among horses of similar ability and value. These races tend to prevent horses of greater value or ability from racing against lesser horses and gaining a competitive edge. An owner who races a horse below its proper level risks having his or her horse claimed for an amount below its worth. Although the horse may win, if a claim is entered, the claimant will own the horse following the race, no matter where it finishes. Claims must be filed and sufficient money must be on deposit with the horseman s bookkeeper before the race is ran. If more than one claim is entered for a horse, lots are drawn to determine the new owner. Any purse money earned goes to the former owner.

Stakes race From the word sweepstakes, stakes races are for the best horses. In most instances, owners pay fees to run their horses in a stakes race. The track adds a significant sum to the winner s prize money. Most stakes are run under allowance of handicap conditions. 1-800-523-2464 www.cdacasino.com
