Parimatch Forecast Bet Calculator

At Parimatch Sportsbook, we like to make placing bets as simple as possible. Our betting calculator is ideal for working out exotic wagers, including forecast bets, trifectas, and Goliath bets.

The bet calculator is easy to use and available to all customers. You can use it to calculate your potential returns ahead of horse or greyhound races, and it’s a great way to decide which bets to place.

Read on to learn how to use our forecast bet calculator and what else you need to know about this type of wager.

A forecast bet is a popular wager where you predict the team, horse, dog, or player to finish first and second. To win a forecast, you need to accurately predict the winner and second-place finisher, and your predictions must be in the correct order.

Though you can place a forecast bet on numerous sports, it’s most popular in racing betting, including horse racing, greyhound racing, and motorsports racing.

For example, assuming you want to bet on the 13.10 at Wolverhampton, a forecast bet might look like this:

• 1st = David’s Daydream 9/4
• 2nd = Quintessential Angel 12/1

For your forecast bet to win, David’s Daydream would have to win the race, while Quintessential Angel would have to come in second. As mentioned, the order is important in a forecast bet. If Quintessential Angel were to pip David’s Daydream at the post, you would lose your bet, as your first and second-place predictions would be in the wrong order.

It's also possible to place a double forecast bet, which you can bring together to increase your potential payout if your bet is successful.

There are three main types of forecast bets:

• Straight forecast: This is one bet on the horse/dog/person to win and the horse/dog/person to finish second. You must correctly predict the order.
• Reverse forecast: In a reverse forecast, you place two bets on the selections you think will finish first and second, but in any order. It costs double the stake to place.
• Combination forecast: A combination forecast consists of at least three selections on the horse/dog/person you think will finish first and second. You don’t need to get the order right to win a combination forecast, but at least two of your selections must finish in the top two.

Also popular among horse racing bettors and greyhound punters is the trifecta bet. Here, you need to bet on the horses to finish first, second, and third in the exact order, taking the forecast bet to the next level.

We’ve designed our bet calculator to be easy to use. Here are the steps you need to follow:

• Select your bet type: Choose “forecasts” from the drop-down menu. You can also use our bet calculator to work out other wagers like each-way bets, accumulators, trixies and doubles.
• Choose the odds format: Decide whether to input the odds in decimals or fractions.
• Input your bet information: Select a straight or reverse forecast from the drop-down list. Then, choose a single, double, or treble. Finally, input your odds.
• Decide on your stake: Consider how much you want to bet before placing your forecast bet. Then, enter the stake in the box provided and toggle “total stake” or “stake per bet."
• Check the bet breakdown: The final step is to click “calculate.” You can then view the full bet breakdown and share your bet before placing it.
