Across the Board

Betting a horse across the board means placing three equal bets — win, place, and show — on the same horse. If it wins, all three pay; if it runs second, place and show pay; if third, only show pays. It's a way to collect something if your horse hits the board, at the cost of a bigger total stake. HandicapIQ shows a horse's exact win, place, and show probabilities so you can see whether across-the-board is worth it.
