Quaddie Betting Term Meaning
A Quaddie is a bet type mainly used in horse racing where punters try to pick the winner of each of four nominated races. The bettor can select any number of possible winners in each leg with the cost increasing with each selection.
The Quaddie has become increasingly popular among punters especially in group betting. Prominent race meetings such as the Melbourne Cup attract more punters that increases the size of the prize pools.
The Quaddie is also known as a Quadrella.
How much can I win on a Quaddie?
A Quaddie is a type of pari-mutuel bet where all bets go into a pool. The winning dividend is calculated by dividing up the total pool among the winning bets.
Payouts for Quaddies can be anywhere between $40 and $100,000 depending on the results of each race. The 2018 Melbourne Cup Quaddie paid $25,194.50 which is a huge return for a $1 stake.
If the favourites win each race, payouts will be significantly smaller than outsiders our roughies winning each race. The more difficult the Quaddie is to win, the higher the return will be.
