Forecast

Also known as: Straight forecast

A horse racing exotic market where the punter picks the first two finishers in the correct order. Settled on the official Tote forecast dividend or a bookmaker-computed equivalent based on starting prices. Pays substantial returns on outsider 1-2s; can pay surprisingly little on favourite-led finishes when dividends compress.
