About this board game

Ready Set Bet is a horse-racing betting game for 2–9 players that plays in about 60 minutes. Across four rounds, players cheer on the horses, place bets, and compete to build the largest bankroll.

Each round begins with a race driven by dice rolls. While the race is still happening, everyone can freely place their bet tokens on the board, making every moment an opportunity to commit to a horse and follow its changing fortunes.

When the race ends, the placed bets are resolved. Players win or lose money for each token they placed, so the results of every race directly shape the competition and determine who has the strongest position going into the next round.

  • Four rounds, each featuring a race followed by bet resolution
  • Bet tokens placed freely while the race is in progress
  • Dice rolls determine the changing fates of the horses
  • VIP Club Cards that help players earn more money in following races

After each race, players also receive a VIP Club Card. These cards give players an opportunity to win more money in later races, adding another element to consider as the day at the track continues.

Ready Set Bet combines live race action with decisions made under changing circumstances. Cheer, jeer, and choose when to place your bets across four races, then see which player has earned the most money when the final round is complete.
