For more information regarding Tote Betting, check out our What is <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/punter-iq/guide/what-is-tote-betting">Tote Betting guide</a>.</p> <p>Quinellas are a popular bet type among horse racing enthusiasts, as they offer a greater chance of winning than other bets.</p> <p>A Quinella bet is also relatively easy to understand and place. Unlike other exotic bets, such as trifectas, a Quinella requires selecting only two horses, making it an ideal bet for beginners or casual punters.</p> <p>Additionally, you can create a boxed quinella and select as many runners as you want. Obviously, the more runners you pick, the lower your dividend will be, as your chance of winning is much higher.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>How Does a Quinella Bet Work?</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>You win the Quinella bet if your selected horses finish first and second in any order. Regarding payouts, here at Sportsbet, we offer fixed odd Quinellas (subject to deductions) on certain races.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>How to Place a Quinella Bet</h2> <h2>&nbsp;</h2> <p>Placing a Quinella couldn’t be more straightforward on the Sportsbet app and website.</p> <p>1. Simply select your chosen race, go to the Exotics tab, and select Quinella.</p> <p>3. From there, select your two horses, or if you’re hedging your bets and placing a boxed Quinella, select as many runners from the field as you like.</p> <p>3. Then, choose your stake, confirm your bet, and enjoy the race.&nbsp;Lucky for you Sportsbet’s built in quinella calculator has you covered and makes it easy to understand.</p> <p>4.
