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 :

- Is anyone here actually gambling on horse racing?

No, my friend, and I have never tried it. And why should I? I like to place bets while sitting in my chair, and I understand that horse racing is interesting, but I would like to see it live and hear the roar of the crowd around me. But I know that I will not have such an opportunity.
However, the world of gambling is so diverse that you can find any other kind of gambling and entertainment, from cards to plinko.

And I do not trust horse racing, because they can give a horse an injection, and this will change its state

I think that when racing is held at a serious enough level, there should be control over the use of doping for horses. But of course, if these are not races in some local area, but competitions are held in a developed country like Great Britain or in the southern states of the USA. By the way, probably the jockeys themselves also most likely take doping tests.
It would be strange if, given the current state of high-performance sports in general, no one did this.

Thanks on very valuable information that will help users here to understand what’s really happening in the background for this kind of animal sports. Seriously, I’m not aware that there’s a lot of horses dying on the race since I thought they are well trained and high maintenance on this kind of sports given that they are normally running in the wild.

It is a business first and foremost so it is incomparable to horses running in the wild. I would not be surprised if some horse owners would do anything to get their horses to win like maybe drug them or inject them with something that could alter performance. Humans are greedy and horse racing or anything that uses animals for entertainment can be harmful to them.

Quote

Unlike cock fight which is battle to death and the match is destined to kill each other. I thought horse racing is just a mere race which the horse is naturally designed.

Now cock fight is the most popular one here in my country but as far as I know it is typically illegal or at the very least discouraged. I am not a huge fan of this. While I do enjoy a good chicken, it is disheartening to see a chicken limp its way to its opponent bloody and wounded.

Of course, cockfights should not be compared to horse racing in terms of the death of horses or cocks. After all, horses die relatively rarely during races, compared to cockfights. And as for the death of horses during competitions, we must take into account that human athletes sometimes die during competitions, for example, during marathons.
So these are still events of a similar nature and horse racing should not be demonized in any way based on the facts of animals dying during competitions.

is that because horse racing is just unpopular

Horse racing is an expensive money-making endeavor which requires some investment for support. Due to this factor the relevant business is gradually dies down in many locations around the world. Thus, locals have lost interest in horse racing. Besides they are recouping by other racing events^{motorcycle racing one of them}. Forum just reflects the tendency at the local levels.

Of course, it is expensive to maintain a stable. Good racehorses are even more expensive. And in general, this sport is certainly elite and only a few rich people can afford to have racehorses. But I still think that racing cannot be replaced by competitions such as Formula-1 or motorcycle racing. These are all technical sports and it is not entirely correct to compare them with competitions in which animals participate. And technical sports, in my opinion, will never completely displace sports such as horse racing from the competition schedules. These are ancient sports and now they have already become traditions. And as we know, traditions are passed from generation to generation and live for a very long time.

If you support horse racing or dog racing FUCK YOU! Seriously, you’ve got mental issues that need addressed if you do. Or you’re uneducated entirely on the subject, which should be embarrassing for you if you’re an adult.

Dog racing is nearly dead in the U.S. Horse Racing is next. It’s mother fucking cruel and eats away at my soul. Why is dog fighting banned in most places , or chicken fighting? It’s cruel.

If anyone of you think it’s justifiable, you’re of a lower mental acuity and I just hope one day you’ll wake up like I did.

Want to take a horse carriage ride down Michigan Ave in Chicago, think that’s okay? It’s NOT.

Animals are not here for our entertainment or self promotion.

I urge anyone with a heart do research this all.

Think Zoos are okay? Think again. (Sanctuaries, if legitimately accredited, absolutely legitimate).

Watch the documentary Blackfish. Read about the truth of most Zoos.

A girl I dated who’s dad raced dogs , and hear this about horses all the time too “they are so well taken care of , we spend thousands on them” …so were Roman Gladiators ! Slaves !

https://worldanimalfoundation.org/advocate/is-greyhound-racing-cruel/

100% behind you Chi.

Here in Ireland horse breeding and racing is big business. The government here
over the years has prioritised funding of the Horse and Dog industry for many years
over more important social health and welfare areas. Its shocking.

Over the last few years and most recently this year whistleblowers have brought
the abuse of horses, particularly those who have finished racing here into the
public arena. Most people I know have been shocked by it.

Greyhound breeding and racing is notoriously cruel and still it gets funding from our
government and still ignorant people support it by betting and attending race events,
same with Horseracing.

Yes, horse racing isn’t nearly as popular as soccer or basketball, not just on this forum but in most communities. There’s less media coverage, and it feels complex...at least for me Grin

. I’ve tried researching it, and trust me, if you’re curious about horse racing like I am, you’ll see how hard it is to understand. It relies heavily on data analysis and requires serious thought. Maybe if we focus on sharing responsible tips or exciting race stories, it could spark interest and even encourage casinos to launch new promos...why not!

Just my two cents Cheesy

I have never had an idea to bet on horse racing, because I dont understand that sport. How it is different from simple 1000m run? Goal is the same, be first at the finish line. If I was more familiar with horse breeds, if jockeys would influence on a race performance more (despite only making horse run faster), if "horse equipment" would matter much (like suspension, engines, tires in F1), then it would be more interesting to watch for me. I can assume that my attitude would change if I would had a chance to watch horse racing live.

P.S. Harness racing is fun to watch sometimes, as they drift on dirt on the turns Cheesy

As someone who has family members who own racing horses, and as someone who grew up watching horse racing a lot, I personally gamble on horse racing far less than them of course and that is why I believe that we are going to see horse racing be a bit more country based and that's why it is not that common.

Football or basketball or f1 isn't like that. Football for example has premier league, which is in England, but yet we are seeing all over the world people betting on premier league, and it is not just local, maybe 4th division could be local but premier league isn't. Or when you look at la liga, it is still wagered globally without a doubt. Whereas, not that many people are interested in betting on Kentucky derby?

Mostly Americans, surely there are few but not global like football, and that's the biggest race, think about any regular old Saturday game, do you think that gets global interest? Everyone has horse racing in their own nation and they bet on their own countries horse racing, not a global sports unfortunately.

You are right, horse racing becomes a country -based and only a few people do bets and play it because the horse racing is not so famous for other sports betting such as the ball, especially in our country which is very difficult to find a horse race, therefore not so on interest.

We prefer the sport that Mark is played to bet because it is far more interesting to make a place to bet including in the forum, in general people talk more about football to bet their bets compared to other sports competitions for betting.

Of course, in many ways, horse racing is more of a local competition in a specific country or even in a specific area.
That is why this type of competition is not so internationally widespread. And it is impossible to compare this sport with football or even, for example, with cricket, which is very popular in some countries of Southeast Asia. Nevertheless, many people discuss cricket on our forum despite the fact that it is practically not played at all in many countries. As, for example, there are also such competitions as curling. It also has a very limited local distribution. So I would classify horse racing as a similar sport. Although there are more exotic and even less common types of competition, such as camel racing in some countries of the Middle East.

40 000 pets are euthanized each year in the UK alone because of injury, should we ban pets also?

Quote

The FIFA Sudden Death Report (FIFA-SDR), was carried out by Saarland University and published in 2020.[7] The report recorded worldwide deaths attributed to sudden cardiac arrest or other unexplained sudden death while playing (or shortly after playing) football during the period from 2014 to 2018. There were 617 cases during the five-year period.

It’s funny how these are all being banned and dying out, yet I’m the one in the wrong? I like to use colorful language and I’m not one to hold back on my feelings when it’s something I’m actually extremely educated on. I have an internal desire to help those in need, it’s why I’ve devoted my life to it. For example all the money I’ve raised here on btalk for animal , environmental welfare.

I just grabbed some quick charts. There’s much better info out there. Yes, dog racing is almost dying. The Kentucky derby is the only race people give a shit about beaches they get to dress up like early 1900 southerners and think it’s boogie.

I love football, would never ever let my children play it. IMO it should be banned and flag should be implemented through high school. Then when one is of adult age, same as boxing or UFC..it’s their cognitive decision and right as an adult.

But guess what, animals don’t get to make those choices, not sure if you were aware.

Sorry you don’t like my language, I don’t like you. You justify animal cruelty and that says everything I need to know about you

As for pets euthanasia- I care, a lot. I fight for animals every day of my life. Your assumptions show your ignorance https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5512896

Yeah couple of times have watch this particular sports on horse racing and it's such a wonderful game to play but then gambling on this party sports is what have not being able to give a try on and I bet it's going to be a complicated one, so to give feedback on the question you asked I think horse racing are quite unpopular because alot of person's don't really know how to play left alone gambling on it.

The main thing is that sports like Football, Cricket, Tennis, Basketball have gained popularity quickly, and I myself am more enthusiastic about football and cricket than all other sports, maybe it is a regional effect or it can be something else. So I am not saying that horse racing is a bad sport, even among my own local people, horse racing is held once a year on a big scale. I also attend there and watch the game, but I have never bet on it.
And the another main reason for this is that I have less knowledge about horse racing, so if I bet here, my chances of losing are high. Moreover, I saw in this forum that there is no discussion topic about this game and besides, I saw only one betting site focused on horse racing, MBET.IO, which has an official ANN thread in this Bitcoin Talk forum. Although I have no experience with their site.

I just searched the internet specifically for information on the number of racetracks in the country where I live. Unfortunately, there are very few of them.

There is also very little information about horse racing in the media.

Racetracks, horses and horse racing are almost never present in feature films. The only thing I remember is an old film from the 80s called "Assa". In this film, an old gangster tried to pay off a young guy by giving him a chance to win at the races (at the racetrack). They had a love triangle (the old gangster, the young guy and the young nurse). According to the plot of the film, the racetrack was in the city of Yalta.

I got the impression that in our time, the racetrack and horse racing have completely lost their popularity. That is why no one bets on horse racing now, and the racetrack is not associated with gambling.

Obv answer to this, can't really find horse racing trend atm, it's less popular these days compared to sports or esports. I think the major reason is that horse racing doesn’t have the exposure, so casinos or sportsbooks don’t add it to the list. As you can see, trendy sports, even esports or elections, are being pushed because there are many audiences for that. If the horse racing league or something promotes itself and brings exposure, maybe people will consider it and look forward to it.

And those famous athletes have socmeds accs that can easily influence fans and the sports itself.

And for new gamblers, I think it’s easier to choose Team A vs Team B than picking in horse racing, hard to play the odds.

The death of horses during competitions is of course inevitable, as are all sorts of accidents with football players. By the way, sometimes we even see such cases of accidental death of football players on the football field from a sudden thunderstorm and lightning strike. But of course, this does not mean that football should be banned. The same is with horse racing - such an argument as the accidental death of a horse during any competition cannot be considered a really valid argument for banning or somehow limiting such competitions. And animal rights activists in this case are simply making self-promotion on such tragic cases during horse racing.

- Is anyone here actually gambling on horse racing?

I believe some will be playing horse racing here, because horse racing happens to be one of the newbie's fun games since the game is mostly enjoyable right from the very start and so often based on skills mixed with luck so yeah newbies find them interesting at least to risk a few Penny on just like in your case, but the fact remains that vast majority of forum members are football and other sports game fans such as basketball cricket games and the rest, and with few widely interested in other casinos games like slots, dice or Plinko, so for sure we have to come to conclusions that horse games are not top of the most favorite casinos games for forum members and that can be seen in the reflection of the discussions, comments, and topics here in the forum.

If you are looking for a place to discuss horse games, then definitely this board is not so vas in that and you may look outside the forum to get some of those horse games-related discussions, but also with time I am sure a lot of forum members will be diving into horse games and that will spring forth discussions in that direction just like in your case, so good luck man.
