Things in the world have changed, and horses and horse racing are considered animal abuse because those who did these practices often did not even feed their animals well, they put hormones into them that made them change the normal balance of a horse so that they could give up, then these things as well as being hit, and they can do other types of things because they are not adequate according to the standards to be considered as animal abuse and as it is with betting, because things get worse, because Surely they review the conditions in which they have the horses and no, they determined that, like cockfighting, this is considered so.



Same with cock fighting and other gambling activities involving animals, lots of people are now aren't too comfortable supporting these gambling games. It's already considered animal abuse and I don't think that it would be fair that while we're enjoying, lots of animals are suffering. However, it's just a normal thing for the supporters of this game but if there were other gambling games or sports betting to enjoy, better pick them in my own opinion. Also, it's hard to analyze and have proper basis on where to be when it comes to horse racing because they're really unpredictable and be can also rely our decisions on the available data and statistics even if we do a deep research about their game history.

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.
It's not only about the casinos trying to catch the attention of gamblers towards the sport, it's that the sport isn't played in most of the regions. That is basically the reason why most bettors have no interest in horse racing because they don't know the game as it is not played in their region at all, and when you have never in your life watched a sport, don't have any knowledge and experience about it, you can barely be interested in it, betting is a very far thing.

The reason why football, hockey, or other sports are so popular throughout the world is that they are played on a local level as well, so the players or people who watch them play also take an interest in the games played on an international level and they tend to make bets on the games because of that.

In my country horse race game is very popular the same with cockfighting and as the same with it there's a winner option but the odds right here is will depend on the popularity of the horse, reputation and of course if there's an underdog like the usual match, and the number of wages will now depends on the horse they bet, that's the concept I've known with here, but due to this pandemic and mass gathering is one of the issues we facing which is the prevention of it and now its not become popular even in the gambling casino I've never seen this they are just adopting the known games in the casino itself and not in the field itself.

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 riding is indeed one of the olden days sport we enjoyed back then but there's less development in this today due to some reasons beyond our understanding as to why, we can see the performance of football among other sports booming unlike horse riding, this same experience is what transpired even to the gambling organizations that most of them don't have house riding as part of their games they enlist on their casinos.

I think this has something to do with mutualism of interest and culture. Not all countries are having place for horses which makes sense that it will have limited popularity. This is the same as with cockfighting and other gambling games which has an origin. The fact that most of us are familiar with traditional gambling games, then it would make sense for such games to have more players. Also with interest itself; we cannot control other players to play games we are playing 'coz we have different preferences. Some are into what's usual and some are not. For sure there are other gambling games which has a country of origin and are not recognized by us 'coz we have different culture and tradition in the first place.

Tradition may play a vital role on why a sports became famous so maybe this is one of the factor why horse racing is not so familiar. Majority of people is commonly hook with ball games and this is always features on national television that's the reason why horse racing got less exposure to people. Also not all can adopt the culture of horse racing places since there are group of people doesn't like this since for them its animal cruelty or abuse.

The complication begins with the fact that I have no past experience and as I have never seen any horse race or know the rules of the game, also the betting scenario, I am unable to understand what is going on with this. How do I know which one is going to be my best pick and how that horse will perform? In my country, there are no such events where they hold horse racing. It is also hard to find information or know the rules if you have no hands-on experience.

In simple words, it is unpopular here and I have no interest in it. There are other popular games that are way easy to follow and you can enjoy them quite well. So that's from my end. This is the reason why I'm not interested in horse racing.

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?

LE:
I'm genuinely curious, a lot have stated that horse racing is way too complicated, I made a free prediction game with the above-mentioned prize so, I really want a bit of feedback on what you considered to be "too complicated"?
I'm right now genuinely curious how people who deal with crypto, gambling, trading, TA and coldwallets can find betting on horse to be way too "complicated" So here you go:


I'm really really curious about this thing! It's turning into an obsession!

I think people like simplicity and being able to predict an outcome. If you have a football match, there is usually just a 50/50 chance one of the teams will win and there will be a corresponding odds payout for who is predicted to be the winner. I'm sure most people who have been gambling for a while have "dabbled" in horse racing, maybe won their first bet or two out of sheer luck, but once you've placed 3 or 5 bets you start to realize that it can feel very random trying to pick the winner out of 10 horses. The odds payout look absolutely amazing, get 10 or 50 times your money back?? But no, the chances of picking the winner or staging your bets in a profitable way is beyond the reach of the average gambler, so they stay clear.

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.

After?
St Leger course was established in 1776 and it's still ran even today, the Epsom derby in 1780, football rules were first established in 1863 .
Which one is the "new" sport?

---

- 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.
- 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.

What you'll be doing is something beneficial to the supporters or horse racing. I'm not sure whether people will be genuinely interested given that the only reason they will be joining is the prize money. It might force them to do a little bit of research and perhaps watch a few races, but after all is said and done, I don't know if they'll stick around.

Seems like all three of us were wrong, 1mbtc is not enough!
I opened a prediction game in the games and rounds and I have a 0:50 views to participation conversion rate.

It's either that the sub-forum doesn't get that much exposure or 1 mbtc is not enough to pick six of names!
Or is everyone here too rich to take a chance for 1mbtc, we're all whales of betstreet here?

In the northern part of my country we use to host seasonal horse racing and this is mostly done during Salah season where the Muslim royals will be available to make some festive competition and these completions have a high chance of participation,  but that is only to those who are interested in such games.

So I can say horse racing is a segregated activity in my region and at that, we must have to accept the fact that animal games have become an isolated game and unpopular lately.

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.

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.
