Players credited $56,987 Preakness week in Bet Back promotions

For the times when your pick stumbles at the start and belatedly rallies for third, or when you unluckily lose on a headbob, wouldn’t some sort of bettors’ insurance be a great thing to have?

TwinSpires.com’s Bet Back offers are kind of like that.

For selected meets, racedays, and races, TwinSpires offers all of its account holders the ability to opt in to its Bet Back promotions.

Although useful for all players regardless of how much they wager, the Bet Back promotion is really a boon for casual bettors and/or those with smaller budgets.

Here’s an example from Preakness week:

The Pimlico Bet Back promotion, offered during the three days of Preakness Week 2020, gave bettors the opportunity to get up to $10 back on their first Win wager in any race if their selection finished second or third. Although a placing was required, the offer could be attractive to the $20 player (50% discount), the $10 player (a virtual free play), or an incentive for the $5 player to increase his or her action with limited downside.

Santa Anita Bet Back Promo:

The Bet Back offer available to TwinSpires account holders during the Santa Anita fall meet, which runs through Oct. 25, has different conditions but a similar concept.

Offered only on select races each racing day and dependent on the size of the field, TwinSpires players have the opportunity to earn up to $20 back on their first Win bet if the selections runs second, or up to $10 back if the selection runs third.

The Bet Back Outcome:

Combined with TwinSpires' other Bet Back promotions, including the midweek Bet Back and Australian Race Of The Night Bet Back, TwinSpires players received a total of $56,987 during the week commencing Monday, September 28th.

Racing is an enjoyable but tough game, and every edge a bettor can get counts. The Bet Back offer is one way to have that bit of insurance when your handicapping is a little off or when the unforeseen occurs to the horse you've backed. Keep an eye out for Bet Backs and opt in!
