Goodnight, ohh Leo!!! 🦅
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 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.

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.

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.

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 :
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.

I bet odds or even at Betcoin. So I have 1,3,5 horses or 2,4,6. If you look at the odds of all the horses individually it helps if you want odds or evens. Go to the live streaming races since it's fun.

This could be the best reason, many site are not focusing in horse racing for some reason since this is very traditional and maybe they still have no partnership with the local operator and they can't just get the odds for the horse racing. The interest of the gamblers will always depend on the feature available in one site so if the gamblers prefers to gamble with other games then it will be the trend. Local gambling operator in my place still have this horse racing betting, I think its more popular to the oldies.

Aside from the big festivals, horse racing is mostly managed at a Country level.
Here in Italy, there are very few bookmakers that offer odds for foreign markets, often very bad and obviously without an exchange....

I see more or less the same in the crypto sector.
Few bookmakers that offer these odds, practically none offer exchange bets...
in short, the sport by definition linked to betting is not worthily represented Sad anymore and as I can see there are few people that follow such races.
If you look at horse racing odds at sportbooks you will see them moving very quickly usually while the race didn't even start, I guess it's because bookmakers are taking into account odds from parimutuel local pools in order to calculate their own odds since horse racing is traditionally a sport using parimutuel national pools for betting. But quick changes in odds is not suitable for exchange betting unfortunately.

I believe that's one very good reason why a lot of bettors are not going into this sports.
They need to keep up with the changing odds and that's time consuming for them.
And also, when it comes to horse racing, a lot of bettors usually enjoy this sports while actually watching the race.
Hence, we will find most bettors of this sports inside the racing venues or bars with big screen showing such races.

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!


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. There aren't a lot of platforms around that post lines for horse racing so they might not follow the sport very closely.
