Sports betting around the world has evolved the last few decades, from punters needing to go betting shops or relying on runners to place their money to just flipping their mobile phones and making their bets online.

The expansion of bets has also grown beyond the traditional bets, and bettors who place their money beyond the normal point spread, money line, run line, puck line or parlay-type bets are those who take part in “exotic bets.”

A bet on the outcome of a special sports event other than the traditional side, or those of non-sports events, is also called an exotic bet. However, it can’t be blamed that exotic wagers are often associated with, but not limited to, horse racing.

Once a punter places his money on the race tracks beyond the usual win, place or show bets is considered an exotic bet.

There is the “Exacta Bet,” where bettors are wagering on horses that will finish in first and second in that order. Then, there’s the “Quinella Bet,” which is wagering on horses that will finish in first and second, but this time regardless of any order.

The other exotic wagers options in horse racing include the “Wheels bets,” which allows a punter to keep a particular horse as his winning horse then adds others as the second horse in his exacta bet.

And then there’s “Boxes,” which are described as punters taking on a larger version  of the quinella bet, wherein he is betting on every permutation of the horses he has selected.
