The player selects one or more items they believe will win. If any of their selected items finishes first, the bet wins.

{
  "meta": {
    "betType": "PickWinner",
    "selection": ["item-uuid-1", "item-uuid-2"]
  }
}

Some games allow selecting multiple items for PickWinner bets. The bet wins if any of the selected items comes first.

The player predicts exactly which items will finish 1st and 2nd, in that specific order.

{
  "meta": {
    "betType": "StraightForecast",
    "selection": ["1st-place-uuid", "2nd-place-uuid"]
  }
}

The player picks 2 items that must finish in the top 2 positions, but the order doesn't matter.

{
  "meta": {
    "betType": "ReverseForecast",
    "selection": ["item-uuid-1", "item-uuid-2"]
  }
}

The player predicts exactly which items will finish 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, in that specific order.

{
  "meta": {
    "betType": "Tricast",
    "selection": ["1st-place-uuid", "2nd-place-uuid", "3rd-place-uuid"]
  }
}

The player picks 3 items that must finish in the top 3 positions, but the order doesn't matter.

{
  "meta": {
    "betType": "CombinationTricast",
    "selection": ["item-uuid-1", "item-uuid-2", "item-uuid-3"]
  }
}
