I believe horse racing is only popular in some particular regions and countries and there are only a small percentage of people who actually like and follow the sport. I personally never had any interest in horse racing nor have I ever watched any matches or known any horses or people riding the horses, so I never really looked for any threads or any topics regarding the sport. However, I find your suggestions intriguing and I believe you might get a good response for that.

Basically, people will participate in competitions and events where they have an opportunity to get a reward for just spending their time and they don't need to spend anything from their pocket, especially if they are participating in something that they don't have a lot of knowledge about, in this case, it's horse racing.

As far as I am concerned there is actually a big market for horse racing, but we do not see it much around here because people who are dedicated to it are within a category I would call "old school", in terms of gambling.

It is one of those sports or activities you need to be very into and investigate in order to bet or partake in it. It is like other less popular sports, like golf or even chess, they have not have so many fans as basketball, football or baseball have, but their fan-base is very dedicated for them to continue to survive the passing of the time. Here in my country is possible to bet on horses but it is not something I would expect a 20 year old gambler to do, on the other hand, my grand father used to.

Let's keep this as simple as possible and let's not shitpost!

I see thousands of posts about football, a few hundred about other sports, and the rest are just almost non-existent. I'm a gambler myself but I stopped a while ago betting on soccer, all the Nxx in American sports and I'm just betting now and then on horse racing, from one penny at a time to some larger sums in case of a grade 1 event or festival.
But here it seems like there is little interest in this, is that because horse racing is just unpopular or is it because, well,.... the casinos that sponsor most signatures here are not promoting it? So no post quota to make?  Grin My old local gambling forum that covered this is also near death, I'm sitting in the sun 8 hours a day boring myself to death, so here comes feedback next part :

- Do you honestly think running a prediction game (run with my own funds) would attract genuine interest in this and not just shitposting quota?
- Would let's say 1-2 mbtc (per event, about one or two per month) be enough for people here to at least open a few links and take a look at what hoses are running and what their timeform is?
- Is anyone here actually gambling on horse racing?






The underlined word in context is interest. Many of the countries where gambling exist, there is at least active presence of the games or sports being placed a bet on. Like horse racing, many countries keep horses for fun or just preserving a long old culture of horse raising and breeding.  Horse racing to them might require more economic commitment that may not be profitable in the end for lack of patrons or patronizers.
Soccer on the other hand is more universal in adoption and style and no matter the variations that have come into existence, horse racing can't beat the pure idea and fun of the soccer leagues and ease at which it engages an individual whether mentally, physically or financially in the act of betting. I could literally bet on teams I know more players in to win compared to placing a bet on a horse that I neither know how to ride nor can identify its breed or masters or the trainer in charge of its service and performance.

Horse racing isn't popular in here and we all know that... barely a handful of peeps are interested in sports like that. You seee, football has basically conquered the world's enthusiasm and it's almost becoming an impossibility to introduce a "new era sport" - well, that doesn't infer that horse racing is a new era sport - only that it was developed after the game of soccer. Maybe since it's all about humans on four legged animals, running on tracks and stuffs like that... maybe peeps don't really find that entertaining??

Horse racing is the gambling which available most in the offline mode,only few gambling sites include the horse race in the online gambling.But the response to the horse racing was not high in online gambling as compared to the sports bet in the online gambling sites.The football plays huge role in the online gambling sites,in some countries alone horse racing was still available to the current date. However football was spread over the world,in the sports bet football was top most sports betting played by most of the gamblers.The interest of the gamblers was most important one in the survival of that sports in the gambling sites.So sports betting is mostly encountered the football in all the online gambling sites.This due to the top players like Messi,Ronaldo and Mbappe.
Correct.football bets are more popular on online gambling platforms than horse races. It's intriguing how the Internet has changed this trend. Global players like Messi, Ronaldo, and Mbappe also contribute to the football fever. There's more to it than fame. Also significant are accessibility and globalization. Football is more popular and understood worldwide than horse racing, which has a long history. Making it less terrifying for new gamblers.

However, sports and horse racing have separate betting. Football gamblers can bet on the score, player stats, or corners. Football is the most popular sport online because to its complexity and frequency.


I very much agree with you, me personally have known horse racing for ages though, but I must agree that horse racing has never, and will never be as interesting as sports like football, football is a sports that is globally accepted and enjoyed by almost everyone, and the fact that we ourselves can even play football with our friends and families in our localities even make watching top stars playing the game much more fun.

For horse racing, its just about watching the tournament which doesn't even hold frequently, there are no horses around for us to practice horse racing, maybe if there were horse around for us to practice horse racing the same way we practice playing football with our friend, then maybe, just maybe horse racing would have been just as interesting as football is..

You are underestimating the popularity of horse racing drastically. It isn't popular in this forum, but Bitcointalk represents a small percentage of the global world population if you think about it.

Horse racing is far more popular among offline gamblers when compared to online gamblers based on my research.

I believe that all types of betting games had its own prime, and horse racing is one of the most popular back then. In my country, it is popular in the 90's and the early 2000's.
But again it's a matter of time, lots of betting games have developed over the period of time, and at the same time our preferences also changes over time. Maybe the reason why horse racing does not create any noises anymore because people have started to lose interest in it. But personally, I still find it enjoying and engaging.
I agree with you, horse racing is one of the oldest traditional games in my region, and currently this game has become unpopular and that is the reason that a lot of other new games have surfaced on the internet and in physical casinos and this development has pushed horse racing to the background and making horse racing to just be a traditional game which is hosted mainly for festivities.

But then we are more likely to see new development in this game direction in time to come and for sure horse racing won't go into isolation as many perceive it to be since there is always room for improvement in this game at a later time.

Horse race is an interesting sport from my distance observation. Why did I use "distance observation" because I have not seen horse race in real life but only in TV and probably in movies. And I have seen it in bookmakers halls showing it and gamblers were placing bet on it. People prefer football betting more than horse race because horse race is not popular as other sport games. Like in my country there is no horse game events so many gamblers are not even aware of it, unless it shows in the gambling hall.

But if we talk of table tennis, boxing, long tennis running race (100 metre race etc) etc, and people gambling on them because they are sports people participate locally and internationally and not only on TV show but in physical life. So people are interested to gamble on them more. And I believed horse race in those days was a lucrative sport in which people liked to play and watch and not in this present world again. Though people still participate but it is not uch as before.

Most people in this forum are interested in sports like football, cricket etc which is why horse racing never really received much attention. Another reason is because crypto gambling sites don't really focus much on it.

You could try your idea though it's tough to tell whether it would be successful or not. Trial and error basically. You should ask the peakies for some advice Smiley.

Well it's quite obvious because these companies here are after market that sell in the gambling industry which I presume is soccer because soccer undoubtedly the most watch and loved sport in the world and moreover most people don't even have idea about how horse racing works. I have played horse race in my local casino and it's almost featured in all gamble site casino I know locally and its quite popular in my place and I believe that if these crypto casino focus more on this game it might get some attention by gamblers.

If we are to look at the population today and the rate that people participate in sporting activities, horse race is far away from the first ten most preferred choice where we have football, basketball, boxing, golf, car race, marathon race, tennis and many more before you could think about horse race, which implies that it has low numbers of spectators or fans interested in playing or watching it, also we can consider the sport as an olden days sport event before now that many things have changed.

100% wrong. Horse betting will always be popular in certain countries such as Hong Kong, UK etc where crypto payment methods are being used along with the traditional FIAT payment methods.

Some of the world's richest people bet on horses for reasons like recreation, money laundering etc which goes to show that it will always be relevant.

Giving awareness and making people know about horse racing is good. Myself have got a thinking that horse racing is for the rich ones, and we weren't able to see those in most of the sports betting. In the past I've seen it on directbet and have never used it. I've watched those in television and those who enjoying were Arabs and rich people spending big money on each horses. After going through the posts understood that horse racing odds will vary very rapidly. This means the winning on horse racing depends much on luck.

The old gamblers surely know about the horse racing,because it was the old famous offline gambling.Many people opinion is horse race was only for the rich people,but the fact is different.Anyone can take part in the horse race,if you are lucky you can earn some jackpot from the horse race.In some Horse race,the rich people influence the horse racing.Because they will influence the jockey of the horse,sometimes the worst horse of the racing will win by the influence of the rich people.This also happen like the unlucky horse will win by the influence of the rich people on the jockey of that horse or by the help of rest of horses.
Saying only rich people raced horses is a myth. Aristocrats and other wealthy people once dominated horse racing, but regular people's passion and determination kept it alive and grew it

The wealthy have too much power and control over others. It's crucial not to make broad remarks that undermine the reputations of the numerous jockeys and instructors who have spent their lives preserving the sport's authentic ethos

As an online gambler, I can attest that fair play is just as crucial, if not more so. Gamblers should be careful, responsible, and aware that things aren't always what they appear. Strength is knowledge

I also think so, because only the rich do not place bets on horses, I have not seen this guy betting again, nor on horses and I did not think there were or existed at the moment, where I am there are many bets, parlay and of everything, but I have not seen if there are horses, I imagine that those that exist must be in betting places where they are very far from the city centers, and not in a casino, or in a parlay because I am not sure if that is here Coming with animals is prohibited, because I understood that sometimes these competitions made the riders treat the horses badly, which becomes animal abuse, but if it is, I haven't seen it, but it seems quite curious to me.

Well, I personally have known about horse racing for ages now, or should I say for as long as, or even before I started gambling, horse race is a very popular form of sports which gamblers bet on here in my country, we have a lot of local online and offline casinos that offer the ability to bet on international horse racing tournament, and not just horse racing but also dog racing as well ..

But then, coming back to myself in particular, I have never placed any bet on horse or dog racing before, and this is probably because I just don't find any animal games or sports interesting, they are kind of really boring, which is why I don't see such games as something that is worth my time not to talk of money.

It is most likely both, the gambling market on Football is very big and so is its audience, so it is no wonder sportsbooks would prioritise marketing Football over horse racing.

- Do you honestly think running a prediction game (run with my own funds) would attract genuine interest in this and not just shitposting quota?
I am not sure, but probably not.

- Would let's say 1-2mbtc (per event, about one or two per month) be enough for people here to at least open a few links and take a look at what hoses are running and what their timeform is?
That 1-2mbtc is enough to feed a family of 4 for 1 week or more(at least in my country), so it is probably worth enough to spend some time to take a look at what horses are running and what their time form is.

- Is anyone here actually gambling on horse racing?
I've bet on horse racing before, well my friend did with my money, he was the one who invited me to go bet horse racing. the smell on the race track was an unforgettable experience.

Horse racing is pretty popular if you’ll ask me. It’s just that there’s little to cover about it that’s causing it to not get so much notice as other sports do. Like we can talk about how Kevin Durant passes, how Rafael Nadal smashes, and every other A-list athlete for that matter but we’re going to run out of things to talk about Horseback racing. If the sport’s a little more active, more individualistic like basketball where everyone’s got their own spotlights, and more profitable for viewers and athletes, the sport would be prominent too. But as it stands today since the horse racing community doesn’t need the people’s attention, they don’t put too much work on magnifying its name.
