Biggest Betting Events in Horse Racing

Horse racing is perhaps the oldest and noblest sport, dating back more than 300 years. The sport is seemingly set up for betting. The races are often short and can be thrilling when the horse you have backed stands a good chance of winning the race. 

The popularity of horse racing is immense as major betting events are held throughout the year around the world. More than 25 countries host annual horse racing events which makes for more betting opportunities. The biggest horse racing events consist of: 

Best Horse Racing Bets 

There are many bets one can use to turn a profit, however, the one bet that punters can’t seem to stay away from is the accumulator, or acca. This is a combination of multiple selections into one bet, and since all selections are bundled into a single bet, the odds are grouped as well. This creates a greater value for the bettor but it also increases risks. Bettors need to ensure all their selections in horse racing win, otherwise, the bet will be a loss. 

Popular Bets in Horse Racing

Below are the most popular bets in Horse Racing:

Race Winner

This is a very simple bet where you will be backing the horse you believe will emerge victorious from the race. All the names of the horses will appear at every race ranging from the horses with the lowest to the highest odds.

Exotic Bets

Exotic bets allow bettors to select multiple horses in a single race. Where other bets in horse racing are made on several races, exotic bet selections are limited to only one race. The number of horses can be two or more often named exacta (2), trifecta (3), and superfecta (7). The condition is all horses must win in the exact order they were selected, for instance, an exacta bet will be shown as 2-4, which means the number 2 horse will need to finish in first place, while the number 4 horse will need to finish in second place. 

Each-Way Bet

An Each-Way Bet is a two-part bet where bettors will receive returns if their selected horse wins the race or finishes in a place paid out by the bookmaker. If your horse wins the race you will win both of your bets. However, if the horse finishes second you will win the place part of your bet.
