What is the safest horse racing bet?
“Straight” bets are your least complicated option and they're the safest. These involve wagering that your horse will win, place or show, meaning that he'll come in first, second or third, respectively. If you wager on him to win and he does indeed win, so do you. If he comes in second or third, you lose.

What does 30 to 1 odds mean in horse racing?

Add in the return of your original stake, and the return would be $62. Likewise, a $2 bet placed at 10/1 would return $20 plus your initial wager.
