The Basics Of Wagering
Part (9) Wheeling a Selection in a Daily Double

Wheeling a selection in a daily double bet means wagering a selection in one leg (part) of the bet with all betting choices in the other leg (part) of the bet in order to cover all possibilities of finish. If the selection is the winner, the wheeled daily double bet is a winner. The greater the number of betting choices, the greater the cost of covering the wager.

Partial wheeling in a daily double bet means using a number of, but not all, selections in one leg (part) of the bet with a number of, but not all, selections in the other leg (part) of the bet. The greater the number of betting choices, the greater the cost of covering the wager.

A simple rule to remember to compute the
cost of a wheeled or partial wheeled daily double wager would be as follows:
The number of horses selected in Leg (part) A MULTIPLIED by the number of horses selected in
Leg (part) B MULTIPLIED by the dollar amount of the wager. EXAMPLE: If 4 choices were selected in
Leg (part) A and 6 choices were selected in
Leg (part) B and the wager was made for $5, the cost would be computed 4 (selections in Leg A) x 6
(selections in Leg B) x 5 (dollar amount of wager) = $120.
