Calculate the cost of your First four bets.
A First four bet requires you to select the first four finishers in a horse race in correct order. The calculation method varies depending on what type of First four bet you place: boxed, standout, roving banker or normal. For box First four bets, you multiply the number of selections for 1st place, 2nd place (minus 1), 3rd place (minus 2) and fourth place (minus 3). If you box six horses in a First four bet, it will cost 6 x (6-1) x (6-2) x (6-3) = $360 for a full $1 unit.
