What is a Quinella?

A quinella is an exotic horse racing bet type.

How Does a Quinella Bet Work?

A quinella is a form of pool betting. Punters make their selections, and all stakes are combined in the betting pool. The operator (the TAB in Australia) takes out their commission (called the takeout), and the remaining pool is split between all punters with the winning combination. It's important to note that the more the winners there are, the less the dividend will be. The quinella bet is popular with punters because it usually offers better priced dividends, then say a win bet.

Quinella vs Exacta

A quinella and exacta are very similar, with one basic difference.

A quinella requires the punter to select the horses that will finish in first and second, in any order. An exacta also requires the punter to select the horses that will finish in first and second, but in the correct order.

What Does a Quinella Cost?

One unit of the quinella – where the punter selects two horses – costs $1. Punters can of course stake more if they wish, and their return will be multiplied based on the size of that stake.

How are Quinella Odds Calculated?

Quinella odds are simply a result of how much is in the betting pool. Once the takeout is removed by the operator, the remaining pool is divided by the number of winning combinations.

The resulting amount is the dividend paid to all winners.

Can You Work Out Quinella Odds?

The final quinella odds won't be known until after the race, as they're constantly changing due to the amount of money in the pool and the different combinations that have been entered by punters. Therefore it is not possible to work out the actual quinella odds until after the race.

Quinella Betting Strategies

There are a myriad of different quinella betting strategies that punters can use. As the quinella requires you to select the first two placegetters, punters will often target it when they feel two horses are well clear of the rest of the field in quality. Or perhaps, when one is clear and there's some value to be had with another runner.

How Much is the Quinella Pool?

In Australia, the TAB hosts exotic betting pools, including the quinella.

What is a Boxed Quinella Bet?

A boxed quinella allows you to enter more than two horses in your quinella bet. You may wish to include three horses, or four, five, six or more. If any two of your horses finish first and second, your bet wins!

How Much Does a Boxed Quinella Cost?

You have more combinations and thus more chances of winning with a boxed quinella, so the cost is higher.

The cost is based on how many combinations you have.

For example, boxing three horses gives you three possible winning combinations (1/2, 1/3 and 2/3) Using three runners – say, 1, 2 and 3 – as your quinella box bet, by placing a box quinella the three runners are combined in every finishing order for you to win.

Your combinations would be:

So your three runners can finish in any order in the first two placings and you have selected your first winning quinella. The box quinella cost, to collect 100% of the winning TAB dividend, is $3 – three $1 separate bets as shown in the table above. To box four runners is $6 to collect 100% of the winning TAB dividend (1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 2/3, 2/4, 3/4)

For five horses the cost would be $10 and so on.

What Happens if You Take the Quinella On Every Horse?

Depending on how many runners are in the race, you will have to pay a large stake to get 100%! Plus the dividend may not be enough to win that stake back – so you may lose money overall.

How Much Does a Boxed Quinella Payout?

The payout on your boxed quinella bet depends on your flexi percentage.

Simply multiply the percentage by the official dividend, and that is your payout for the quinella. For example: if the quinella dividend is $50 and your flexi percentage is 200%, your payout is $100.

$50 x 200% = $100

Quinella Dividend x Flexi Percentage = Payout

Quinella vs Boxed Exacta

You could almost look at an Exacta Box and a Quinella as being the same bet – in both cases you need to select the horses to finish first and second in either order. They are separate bets however, which cost different amounts and will pay different dividends.

Quinella FAQs

Why is a Quinella Called a ‘Quinella'?

Our expert Racenet iQ panel of horse racing analysts and pro punters share expert tips & insights, giving you more value and insights on raceday! That's a good question! The term was first used in the USA in the 1940s. It's perhaps derived from the American-Spanish term quiniela, which was a game on which bets were placed.

Do You Win More in a Quinella or a Trifecta?

The question cannot be answered absolutely, as both bet types are at the mercy of the pools. However, typically the trifecta will pay morethan the quinella, due to the increased difficulty of winning and therefore less punters landing the winning combination.

Do Odds & Evens Bets Go Into the Quinella Pool?

Yes – as part of TAB's Merged Pool Technology, the pools for the quinella and odds and evens bet types are combined to a single pool, with the dividend for both then extracted.

Does the Substitute Horse Affect Quinella Betting?
