Obviously the bettor has a better chance at picking a horse to show rather than to win, so the payoff is higher for people who correctly predict winners.

Many tracks and off-site facilities offer more complicated wagers, such as, picking the horse to win, place, or show in a series of races, or predicting the three horses to finish in the top three spots. Many of these horse race wagers have complicated rules and their own terminology.
