Click the amount of your base bet or type it into the "other" box. For $8, you only need to type in "8", for example.
Select your horse(s) you wish to wager on.
Your potential bet will appear in the Your Ticket Box.

Confirm that this is the bet you wish to make by selecting 'OK' when prompted in the popup window.

The Queued Bet Box: Queued bets are bets that are ready to be submitted but have not yet been sent. You have an option to send all of your queued bets, check off some of the queued bets and send or clear some or all of the bets as well. If the race goes off before you send a queued bet, your bet cannot be made. The same is true when it comes to Placing A Bet Now.
History: This shows a history of the bets that you have made that day via the wagering interface. Note: You may have sent a bet in your history that wasn't accepted because, for example, the race went off before the bet made it into the pool however the wagers that are in the history section that are accompanied by a serial number were submitted on time.
Receipt: In this section you can view bets that have been officially accepted & receipts for bets that have been placed in the past can be viewed by clicking on the specific wager in the history section.
