Like most Australians, this year you may looking to place a bet on the Melbourne Cup.

Over 140 million dollars are bet on the Melbourne Cup (Emirates Melbourne Cup) on the Australian tote, across the range of bets. Win and Place bets are the most commonly utilised forms of betting, accounting for over 50% of bets placed. Some other favourites include quinellas, trifectas and first fours. A quinella bet is where you pick the horses that will come first and second (in either order). A trifecta bet is used to bet on horses to take the first three places. Of course, like the name suggests, the First Four is used to bet on the horses to finish within the first four positions.

What isn’t well known is the fact that Betfair offers punters better return on their Melbourne Cup bets.
