Horse Racing and Betting

So I am writing this in hopes that Eddie will be bring horse racing to the sportsbook. Also, I really didnt know what subject to put this in so feel free to modify or move if you'd like.

I know some of you are wondering what all the fuss is about. If you like to wager than you have to look at this sport. I will briefly go over the sports and the betting styles.

Now not in an online casino, but in real life, horse racing is a parimutual wagering sport. This means that if I like horse A, all the money bet on this horse, gets put in a big pool. The house takes their portion off the top. After the results the money is spread out to those who picked horse A. So odds for a horse changes constantly. Sounds confusing right!? Not when you get used to it.

Their is always a favorite. This horse usually starts off anywhere from a 3/5 to 2/1. Meaning if you put 2 dollars on the horse to win it would bring back at minimum 1.20 to 6 dollars.  However, the favorite only wins 33% of the time! Meaning a lot of money getting spread out who went against the favorite. A popular strategy is to never bet on the favorite. The second best is usually the one who pulls ot off but you never know!

So you can bet a horse to win, place or show. Win, well is obvious, is the outright winner. Place is second place and to show is third or better. If you like the 2 horse amd you put 10 on him to win or place ($20 total bet) then if he wins, you get win AND place. If he comes in second then you just get the money for him to place, the money you bet for him to win ($10) is gone but usually the place money will cover that lost bet. Another favorite bet is to always pick the horse you like to place if betting to win. Now in angood amount of races in a day at a track the win bet is a solid straight bet. Almost like roulette when betting on a number. However think that you have past statistics on a horse and the horses odds will change from the moment he is parading around with his jockey on top, until he gets to the starting line. You like the way the horse looks, henhas a good past at this track, amd the favorite looks like shit. The second best horse is getting 8/1 odds. You throw 10 on him and you all of a sudden just won 90 bucks on a bet!

Alright the confusing part but where you win the most. Exotic wagers! When you make a bet to pick what horse gets in 1st 2nd and 3rd place. Sometimes even up to 5 horses. You must pick the exact order. It's not as hard as it sounds and some of these bets are only $0.50 cents a wager. You can mix the horses up and a wager goes like this. I would like to place a wager in Gulfstream. I want a 0,50 cent trifecta with the 1,2,3/1,2,3,5/2,3,5,7. Or you can even say alll. I want a 1,2/all/1,2. That .50 cent bet now cost 17 dollars! If it hits though you could win hundreds, even thousands of dollars with a 50 cent bet! With the Kentucky Derby, with millions dollars of bets being made.

This was a very vague description and if we get this to bet on I will make more and go into detail. I surely hope it does because it is one of the only sports not affected by the coronavirus. Stay green guys!

but these horse racing are only gambling and the odds ...i don't know what to say. 

it's good to play on the horse games if you live in the country where the games are held and you actually know something about those horses, right now it is only about gambling based on the odds given..

There is info on all races being ran. A horse will have how fast they ran, their win losses. Info on jockies and how they are on particular tracks, etc. There is so much info but when you have it all in front of you this decision becomes much easier.

It would be nice if they add this sport, which is quite popular, perhaps due to the situation of the pandemic, it is not viable, but this option must be considered in the future. good contribution friend!
