# Race Wagering

Since most of us can't be owners of horses in real life (where would we keep them??), the majority us are most interested in wagering on horse races!&#x20;

We are excited to provide this functionality in Photo Finish™ LIVE. With races being simulated every minute of every day, there is a great opportunity for spectators to have fun and try to make some money in the process by putting in wagers on the races!

When a race is locked, there is a "betting window" that opens for \~15-30 minutes (time subject to change). During this time window, expert tippers and punters can place a variety of bets from normal win bets all the way to superfectas and daily doubles. Odds will change as these parimutuel wagers are entered.&#x20;

These wagers are pooled into escrow at race start, and after race simulation is complete, winners will have their crypto re-deposited directly into their wallet!&#x20;

*\* note that many geographies and locales have different laws when it comes to prize pools, so we can't yet guarantee that this feature will be available in your region.*&#x20;
