Quaddie Betting Guide
How to bet the quaddie: select the winner of four races. Flexi quaddies, tips and how dividends work.
The quaddie is one of the most popular exotic bets in Australian racing. You select the winner of four nominated races—usually the last four on the card—and all four must win for you to collect. Because it is hard to get four winners, quaddie dividends can be very large, especially when outsiders get up in one or more legs.
A standard quaddie is one horse per leg: four selections, one combination. If you take two horses in one leg, you have two combinations and pay twice the unit stake. A flexi quaddie lets you take multiple horses in one or more legs and pay for the total number of combinations. You then receive a share of the dividend equal to your percentage of the pool. For example, if you have 10% of the winning combinations, you get 10% of the dividend. Flexi quaddies make it affordable to spread in one or two legs while still having a chance at a big collect.
Quaddie races are nominated by the race club and are typically the last four races of the meeting. Use form, tips, and speed maps to narrow your selections. Our Quaddie Tips Today page offers suggested quaddie selections for featured meetings, and our dividend calculator can help you work out the cost of your combination. Results and quaddie dividends are posted on our results pages as soon as they are declared.
