位置投注, 放置的赌注
a bet on a particular horse or team to finish in either first or second place, depending on the terms of the bet
A place bet is a type of wager commonly used in horse racing, where the bettor bets on a horse to finish in one of the top positions, typically first or second. Unlike a win bet, where the horse must finish in first place to win, a place bet allows for more flexibility, as the bettor can still win if the horse finishes in second place. The payout for a place bet is usually lower than for a win bet, as the likelihood of winning is higher. The rules for place bets can vary slightly depending on the specific event or track.
- If you’re unsure about who will win, a place bet is a safer option.
如果你不确定谁会赢，位置投注是一个更安全的选择。
- The place bet paid out well because the horse came in second place, even though it didn’t win.
位置赌注因为马获得了第二名而得到了很好的回报，尽管它没有赢。
- Instead of betting on the winner, I went for a place bet to cover the possibility of a close finish.
