How it plays

Ready Set Bet is a real-time horse-racing betting game. One player acts as the race caller and rolls dice to move horses down the track.

While the race is happening, players race to place bets on the board, and earlier bets get better odds. When the race ends, bets pay out or cost money. After several races, the richest player wins. It's loud and full of excitement.
