Topic: Why is horse racing so unpopular here and a bit of extra feedback - page 14. (Read 1734 times)

I guess horse racing betting is a thing of the past. Now there are many offline and online casinos that allow you to try your luck or use the services of betting casinos with a bet, for example, on football. It seems to me that the focus of public interest has shifted from horse  racing betting to sports betting, that is, the direction is becoming of little interest to gamblers.

Fully agree with what was said. Try it and you will know the answer, but I wouldn't expect much from it.

Personally, I've never really been a fan of sports that involve using animals, like horse racing. I get that these days, there are likely regulations in place for the treatment and better standards of care of these animals, but it wasn't always like that. In the past, animals in sports often had a rough time, and some were even pushed to their limits.

The difference between sports involving humans and those involving animals is choice. Human athletes willingly participate and make their own decisions, but animals don't have that luxury. They're compelled to perform. I'm not an animal activist or anything like that, but I do believe it's inhumane to use animals for human entertainment.

If we are to look at global ranking, we could see that football soccer is the most common and acceptable gambling sport game that is more applicable to most gamblers, it's the highest most played game, let's also consider boxing and golf, it could be observed that even though golf is globally recognized, gamblers don't have much interest in betting on it as they do to football or boxing, you would rarely see gamblers playing golf or horse riding because there's no nuch spectators to fan the interest on live games as they appear on virtual games as well, despite we could see golf in gambling is well recognized after soccer, yet people gamble less in golf, there could be other reasons related to how people understand the mode of how these games are being conducted, horse could as well be a seasonal and what people appreciate most is what they see, do and practice themselves and they tender to gamble it most as found with football.

Isn't that what pure gambling is about? I like it when there are so many variables there is sometimes like littery nothing to do and just go with your guts!


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 don't know what's faster than a 5 or 6 furlong race like the upcoming sprint cup 
You know the time, you place the bet, and in 1 minute it's game over, Your horse blew the start and you can close the website already. Plus talking about a thrilling experience, one 2 miles 4f long jumping race with 16 fences that your horse can blow any time is more thrilling than the 11-meter penalties, It's one jump and all over not like you have the chance to recover. Probably it's just me but horse racing looks like chucking down monster energy cans one after other while roulette is sipping Aperol.

Oh, I'm not trying to convince you to strat betting, just lol, just pointing out things!


Not going to promote any website but almost every one of the established ones offers live coverage, I watch all UK and Irish festivals directly on the betting platform. For Japan and Australia, different time zone that's a pain in the ass and ruins everything! Same with stuff from US like the Kentucky Derby which I never, neverrrr! managed to see it live in the last 10 years!


Thanks for making me feel like a grandpa! jk!


You can just go with a winning horse, or a 2-place insurance, there is no need to focus on things like a trifecta!
But, in my short-lived thread, I did manage to hit a perfect 1,2,3 place on the second day.

Because many are not into horse racing sports and many people doesn't have access to watch such game so maybe that is the reason why this is not popular. Unlike sports betting like football,basketball and boxing where anywhere in the world have access and majority love this sports that's why many sportsbook commonly offer this since this is most adopted and have huge demand to people around. Availability is for sure the main reason for this question and its not surprising to see that this is not popular.

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.

I prefer football, table tennis, lawn tennis, basketball. Others that I prefer are casinos games like Roulettes and slots. I do not prefer to go for horse, dog or animal racing when there are other available options that I like to go for.

Gambling is risking, that is what gambling is. It comes with higher odds though, but more likely the gambler can lose.

In my humble opinion, Horse racing is not popular to me because this sports is not easy to follow unlike other sports which stats and livestream is available on many website.

I once bet on horse racing but have a hard time finding a live stream to watch the match online especially those horse racing from Japanese. I believe this sports will be popular if the streaming for the live match is accessible including the horse stats.

I don't know. I just feel horse racing has fallen from grace when comes to what actually is appealing to the average online gambler nowadays.
When I think of horse racing the images that come to my mind are those of my grand father or my old uncle dressing up, picking up his money towards the closest betting please where they can partake in such activity. To me it would be much of a hassle just to wager money on something I don't personally find to be entertaining.

The current generation of gamblers seek for more immediate and fast paced experiences, I guess; I like dices and plinko, since they are game where I can choose how much risk I wanna take and hot fast I want to go, with horse racing I cannot be in control of many of those characteristics which make online games to be attractive to me.

It would take someone really passionate on horses to make the time to bet on races, it is easier to be passionate on football, baseball or even basketball, imo.  

I never understood horse racing. It always felt very risky to me although by any chance if you hit the winning horse then you win a lot. I like less hassle when I am in entertainment. My first choice is football. I place bets, watch football and sleep LOL

Unless you try, you will never know. Good idea trying from your own funds if that works then you can look for sponsors.

No opinion for last two of your questions.

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?   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?
