Top 4 Betting on Picklebet

Picklebet has emerged as one of the most exciting and user-friendly online bookmakers in Australia, particularly when it comes to racing. Having started with Picklebet’s esports betting markets, and then adding traditional sports markets to their sports book, Picklebet was clearly lacking in something - and then came racing. Unlike most online bookmakers who have racing as their main focus, this was the last thing added to the Picklebet sports book. But since adding racing, they have taken it to a new level - in particular with the addition of Top 4 Betting.

Top 4 betting means you can bet on a runner to finish in the top four placings. Unlike rival bookmakers who only offer the traditional first three placings, you can stretch your luck a bit further at Picklebet. This is particularly handy with large field sizes, as the odds aren’t reduced that much compared to top three betting. To win, your selected horse or greyhound must finish in any order among the top four spots. 

Picklebet has streamlined the process for Top 4 Betting on racing in Australia, making it a straightforward experience for both new and experienced punters.

Picklebet offers Top 4 betting on gallops, harness and greyhound racing as long as there are six or more runners in a field. This applies to Australian racing and international racing. 

Again, unlike other online bookies that only offer the traditional top three places market, you can also select ‘Top 2’ at Picklebet. This increases your odds but also gives less room for error. Still, it’s a handy tool to have in your arsenal. For example, you really like a particular horse in Race 4 at Flemington, but you think the favourite or another runner poses a real risk. In this instance, Top 2 Betting could be a good alternative to secure good odds while not having to finish in first place. 

Picklebet’s Top 4 Betting market offers Australian racing enthusiasts a fun, strategic, and rewarding way to engage with their favourite sport. While it may not be something you wish to use on every race, it’s a handy tool when the price is right. This is especially true in big fields in the gallops or harness races. The Melbourne Cup is a great example of this where a field of 24 contests the race and choosing that extra place increases your chance of winning.
