Where I live betting on horse racing is probably the most widely accepted form of gambling.

My point also is that it looks like horse racing is dying out and most casinos also don't usually include it on their games, they prefer card and table games like roulette, slots, blackjack. Moreover, majority of gamblers like the soccer game, I guess that is where the attention is and that is where casinos chase the gambling population to.

Absolutely, horse racing is already faded away even though few casino have that game option on their site, it does not really get the traffic they expect compared to other sports.

Fading away?
USA - Breeders' Cup, $50 million bet on 5 races, $200 million over the two days, 50k spectators each day,
Australia - Everest, $15 million, 45 000 attendance
British Champions Day , £30 million in bets, £5million prize money, 25 000 spectators
Saudi Cup $30 million pool prize, Dubai World Cup $12 million pool prize
Japan World Cup, 100 thousand attendance, 6 million for the winner

Somebody paid for the Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus $70 million and horse racing is dying?

- 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?

Another yes. Clicking a few links and reading a few lines of text about the game will be enough of an incentive for those who are looking to get the prize money. It may not be a 100% certainty that people will be winning though, but taking chances is what gamblers do anyway. Plus, the requirements are pretty easy.

Yup, I need to plan it nicely, make it easy to enter, and at the same time force the participants to at least know how many legs a horse has!
And, yeah, somebody will be winning definitely, even if nobody manages to get any race winner I will still hand the prize to the guy that got closest to something, like one that managed to choose a horse that got at least second or third. I need to think about this!

Absolutely, horse racing is already faded away even though few casino have that game option on their site, it does not really get the traffic they expect compared to other sports. If one must gamble on a horse, one must know the capabilities of the horse before betting so as to be on the safe side. I believe this is one of the attributes bettors look out for before they attempt such game but in a situation where they do not have clues just like the football where you already know the capabilities of each team and their players, you could be able to predict the winner of the game based on what you have seen them do before but the horse race is likely not that same pattern to go with.

As you have said, horse racing seems to have faded away and possibly the youth gambling population does not really look into it to giving it a try. Maybe just a few try it out and majority of the elderly who see it as fun to do. Like in my country, I have never heard any youth talk about horse racing before not to think of they betting on it. Even casinos too do not really look into that direction too. Every one wants to flow with the trend to be able to serve their clients to maximum satisfaction.

Horse race was the offline gambling still available in many countries specially in the Asian countries.Even though many online casino and gambling was exist in all the countries,the people still had their interest in the horse racing.The interest and popularity of horse race was reduced because of the game fixing become a common one.So most of the gamblers are forced to loss the money without any reason.The game conducting people should clear the black dot on them to get the market to the horse race again.The horse race also involve of big money,So the gamblers with less money will use of online gambling as compared to the horse race.

Horse racing is very popular on oldies because my uncle is still into it u til now. I think most of the forum member hanging out on gambling board are Genz or Millennials which is why they preferred the popular sports over this animal sports that is not widely available globally.

Horse racing is very hard to win since it’s betting option consists of multiple choices that more than the typical 2 option. I believe it’s very rare for a young one to have a passion on horse unless their family is involved on it or they are from the community that this sports is popular.

Probably, horse racing is not popular and is not played anymore these days because we have modern gambling games that are introduced in the gambling market. And these new games are much easier to bet or played for than betting on a horse racing which I think gamblers these days find it already old and boring. However, perhaps in some countries horse racing is still a popular game due to their yearly festivals, but here in my country, horse racing is no longer recognized or being played anymore.

I remember that some channels in my TV when I was so young they only stream Horse Races 24 hours a day, probably the reason why i hate or let’s say didn’t want to get into this sport betting kind. I only know the ways of betting with the odds if you win but i can’t understand much about it and is there any champions, like football and how the races are organized? Many casinos here allow and offer horse racing betts but they don’t promote it that much simply because it’s less popular than football, ufc and other sports

One thing I’m sure of is if you started a paid competition for betting in here, you will find supporters and much participant as long as it’s a fun and well organized event. I never bet in Horse races but i would love to try it here with you

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?

If it's free to enter, yes, perhaps it will attract lots of attention. People can just throw random shit anywhere and hope for the best, so they can also do this on a tournament/prediction game that you will hold with your own funds.

I used to bet on OTB horse racing locally, though my interest on it subsided as years go by. I shifted to eSports and more popular sports because I can't seem to find a platform that offers these lines and then some for me to continue following it. Perhaps there are some platforms now but nah, my interest on it already died years ago.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

In my case, I've always tried to bet on things I watch, know and like watching. I don't bet on horses for the same reason I don't bet on cricket. It's just not a popular thing where I'm from and I never enjoyed it.
When I talked about sports with random people in my area they're usually fans of football and volleyball. Some, rare cases like basketball and some, like me, contact sports, mainly MMA, boxing, muai thai...
I feel like it became a reality for all of us to bet on sports that we enjoy. I don't know anyone who doesn't like football but bets on it, and the other way round, someone who loves football and gambles, but prefers to bet on something he doesn't watch, like tennis.

Quote from: stompix on September 02, 2023, 10:55:10 AM

Not planing on doing that, I will just run out of my own funds as it's just for my own entertainment, just as I still pay for a diablo server despite not playing there for almost two years, I just like that chaat and the guys meeting there.

I know what you mean. I've been a player myself for many years in many different games and I always feel a bit nostalgic when thinking about them and the people I met there.

I think this generation does not really give in to horse racing compared to the older generation.

Aside that, the possibility why people do not think or give in to this particular sports is that the sports pattern is an outdated one and hence not attractive as well.

Myself I have not seen a horse for sometime now probably because I don't go to places I could see them lately at least places like the zoo but dogs are more common to see around and to know what capacity they could be used including sports and gambling. This will likely be the situation of the larger youth gambling population and of course they make up more of the gambling population.

I don't understand horse racing betting, I don't like it even though I only briefly see news about horse racing but never delve into it.

In its own country, horse racing is not very popular, any sport involving animals, maybe this bet is more popular in Europe and America, while what I know is that Asia is not so interested in it.
One sport that is generally popular is football, as a fan I also place bets and often play on this sport.

Talking about betting funds it varies but I don't have more than 2mBtc, only .5mBtc which I often allocate for soccer betting.

What i know that Horse racing is popular in the Arab countries in Asia too but i never showed interest in this sport, maybe because it is not being played excessively like other sports such a football etc.

Also, I haven't seen much betting on them online, or maybe I missed this part since i am not interested in this sport. Another thing is that I never saw any horse racing tournament broadcast on the tv, which could be the reason for me being ignorant of this sport.

This will be great if you can add a play by play summary about the race so that bettors will have an idea on what’s happening with the race. I remember playing on some sportsbook that offering dog race, They provide live stream of the game that makes the betting experience enjoyable since this type of sports is not being broadcast frequently.

I might checkout this, The new betcoin looks appealing.

Where I live betting on horse racing is probably the most widely accepted form of gambling. There are places everywhere like bars that have betting on horse racing available right there. There’s no need for a casino or to have to jump online and find a way to gamble. I imagine that is part of the reason that betting on horse racing isn’t as popular online.

In Search of Incredible

Horse racing isn't so popular like some other sports event all around the world. I'm not familiar with the horse racing, and I haven't placed any bets on horse racing yet. Moreover, this betting event isn't available in most of the crypto casinos. You may see interest from some forum members if you sponsor a prize pool for the people who join in it.

In that case, you should ask some casino representative to sponsor a prize pool for the horse racing prediction game. You may ask Betcoin.ag for doing this, they will run some giveaway on the next week in their website to celebrate their 10 year anniversary. I think they won't deny your proposal if you reach them at this moment.

In places where Horse Racing is popular there will be people who are interested in betting on it, but I do not think that there are many people like that here that is why there is not so much discussion about it here in the forum. If you start a discussion on it, other forum members who are interested in horse racing will be happy to see it and be quick to engage on the discussion. Many of them are just waiting for someone to start the discussion.

Another thing is popularity. In this part of the world where I come from, we barely see a horse so the idea of horse racing games does not really interest us in any ways. We do not see such as big deal and come to talk of it, for the fact that one would need to know the performance of the horses before betting one would constantly stay observant to watching out for the performance of the horses to always bet for which I think is not feasible so therefore this is amongst the numerous reasons I think people do not pay interest on horse racing.

I went for higher studies in England back in 2012. Ahh, what a country. I was in New Castle and used to travel to University of Sunderland. It was the Chester road that caught my eye with William Hill and Coral. Both of them were popular amongst us and we used to spend plenty of time on weekends to bet on cricket, play roulette.

However, I would like to point out my experience that is related to this post. There were many many old peeps that used to sit and bet on the horse racing and greyhound racing. As you would guess I did ask one of them how do you play it. They said you gotta know the horse and the player who rides it. Then only it is possible for you to understand who’s gonna win the game. At least predict that more accurately with that info. They even had news papers with them, I’m sure they must have studied it. I had more fun betting on other games rather than horse racing because simply I did not understood the game.

So I am not really sure if this game is going to be very popular amongst the other game loving peeps or perhaps the youngsters.

I do think that one of the factor that makes horse racing not as popular compared to other prediction games/sports is due to its somehow outdated game. People would rather watch sports or other kinds of relatively new sports than horse racing. Though I may be bias due to the fact that I have no experience in this field, but I think those reasons are what stops me from actually exploring/trying this field.

I remember when I was a kid, I visited this gambling house where a group of people were watching a single small television with horses racing. Whenever a certain color or number wins, some get mad and others rejoice.

Maybe one of these days, I would actually try or consider horse racing but as of now, it is off my radar.

You have to try it to see the results to conclude whether it is a waste of quota or if you can continue it in the next round. Whatever gift you prepare, as long as it can make them curious, they will try it. I have never gambled on horse racing because I don't understand how to play. Besides, I'm not interested in trying it because gambling uses animals.

I would rather bet on other sports, such as football, than gamble on animals. Gambling on horses is not popular on this forum, but you can create a thread to see how much response there is from all the members.

In my honest opinion, why it is not popular in the bitcointalk is betting on horse racing is more popular in the middle and old aged generation whereas bitcointalk is filled with younger generation people if I am not wrong.

Another possible reason its kind of considered as rich people game even though it is somewhat true but new era people are not really interested in wasting their time gathering knowledge about all the horses and riders and predicting out of it, they simply lean towards fast forward games Click = Bet = Win or lose.

Running a prediction event will surely attract more people but I bet it's just to meet the quota not really going to be people who are actually into the horse race tradition but there is no harm in trying and seeing how it goes.
