Topic: Why is horse racing so unpopular here and a bit of extra feedback - page 6. (Read 1873 times)

Horse racing is am unpopular games for so many reasons ranging from unavailability of horse, cost of horse, interest of fans, animal law etc. Although horse racing might not be that expensive but it is not supported in some regions. Many time, horse racing in mostly done in the rural areas where there is plantation and animal rearing. Even in most popular casinos, horse racing are not mostly available except for virtual horse racing which winners are mostly regulated and determined buy the programmers that developed the app.

People do not place bet on horse because horse sport is not popular in their countries. Personally I have not seen horse in real life one than once. It was a Muslim man brought it to the festival from the Northern part of the country and everyone was amazed of seen the horse. And since that time and f 2013 till now I have not seen a house. If they were many in my locality and Athletics use it to race their games then people would have watched the sports in physical life and would have the interest to gamble as it is done with football, boxing, car race canoe race and others. Horse is race is only popular in just a few countries. Horse race in real life will be interested.

Not much. Today we can only see horse racing on TV. This is the age of cars already, not many horses but this seems to be a rich man's vice. Today only the rich men do have eyes for which horse might win or not. There was never a horse in my town. I couldn't remember if there ever was a local racehorse event in our city.

There is a ranch nearby but their horses are just staying inside their ranch and it's used to chase the cattle. What every city has today are illegal drag race.

I only know local horse though, and I would say that I was brought up by my father as this is one of the favorite sports he loves to bet when he was still alive and I still remember when I was a little boy him winning what we call Winner Take All (WTA).

I become addicted as well, like the in the early 2000 to like 2010.

However, when our government started to crack down illegal horse betting, then me and my friends started to slow down and suddenly we just stop. So I haven't bet for a while while although I will still some in my facebook friends on how it is going. Specially around Christmas time, there are a lot of special races to bet.

But I'm not sure if others as well are into horse racing here, and I could speculate that maybe a few might want to bet on it.

This is correct, there’s an average of 1 to 2 horses died for every 1000 start according to stats which pretty significant since there’s always a risk of horse dying in every race while this tournament is not a death match unlike rooster.

This sports is only for rich due to the expenses which you mention. Owning a racing horse is much more expensive than owning a regular horse. Besides the expenses on food and vitamins. The amount of bet when lose is painful too that’s why this sports is not that popular anymore since this is more on a hobby not the typical gambling race.

Some of them literally died after a horse race, after they crossed the line and win, the horses suddenly will die. Of course, owning a horse race means you have tons of money in your pocket because having a stable and maintaining them is very different. And then you need to hire trainers too to look after your horse and make them tournament ready, so it's not easy and even if they are on a strict diet and given good nutrition, you just don't know. As I have said, they will suddenly collapsed and die and of course there goes your huge investment as well. I don't have any questions about those animal groups though. But there are certain society in our world that embraces this kind of horse racing.

Horses themselves are not popular these days as they are not often seen, they were more popular during the polo game and I can't remember how popular that particular field game is now. But for horse race talking about the virtual side of it, it is in the place of casinos to increase the availability of horse games. Gamblers don't necessarily have to be interested with a particular game before it is made available because a gambler can easily try new games. So the casinos are to begin their own part to bring the horse race in our eyes by creating different bonuses for it.

I read somewhere that the number of people gambling on horse racing has decreased over time because of a shift in interest toward other games offered by casinos. I can't recall the exact driving force, but I'm certain it's linked to the current lack of interest.

I've never played it myself, but I do watch it occasionally.

How do you think horse racing can regain its popularity?
Well, I think your idea could work. We don't know how it will turn out but I think it's worth a shot.

It's not unpopular just in here, the popularity of it has decreased over time in gambling in general. I am not certain why but it seems that other more appealing sports have just driven over it.
It used to be a thing and i remember my dad taking me to horse races, but at least i wouldn't be that interested to watch them run from tv. That would be just boring.

I am guessing that used to be more interesting when people still gathered together, and might be that people saw it as one of the sports that was harder to fix by mobs.
Also as people's awareness of animal rights is growing, they tend to watch less sports where animals are abused, or doped.

Though there can't be rigging in real horse racing, there is always the possibility of a match being fixed when there is a lot of money thrown on the table by fixers. This is in every sport, even if we know it or not because we can't always know what's happening behind the scenes. We often see the favorites losing certain games and matches, whether it's horse racing or any other sport. What we think is that something unfortunate happened and they lost, but who knows maybe it was fixed and we don't know it?

When we talk about virtual games, I think it all depends on the source if it can be trusted or not, and I don't really know if the service provider would get any benefit by rigging any game because they will obviously still get their fair share no matter who wins and loses as they charge their commission.

What's that virtual horse racing you're talking about? I think it's not as attractive as real horse racing. Most bettors prefer the authenticity of seeing real horses in action, even if it's just on TV. The trust that there's no rigging happening behind the scenes is a significant factor.

Some sports betting games, especially virtual ones, might not be as wise to create since people tend to stick with the originals, which are more popular and offer a genuine experience.

It is true that betting options such as horse racing are only popular with people in few countries or in the sense that horse racing is only popular sport in certain circles.
If we talk about the gambling industry these types of sports will be less competitive with sports matches that are more popular in each country such as football basketball or even esports matches.

Well, some time ago there seemed to be bit of heated discussion about virtual horse racing but still not many people are following developments in all this.
I don't think adding horse racing option would be big advantage for the casino and that the main reason not many casinos have it.

There are many activities that are very unpopular and are quite successful outside, this is something that we must Accept , when casinos try to do something like bringing this to the casino, well, it is something that should be applauded, at least that sees that the casino cares about the best things so that they can be done or to Please the players , so one day I saw a casino with a demo mode of horse racing, but it was something like when video games were before , in a way very old-fashioned, and I don't Know what the Criteria was for Winning the horse , I don't remember if there was something provably fair involved or something like that , because they were done on a cadre basis, and what the person did was bet, and of course that's  It was a casino model , because I Think that in the end it did not happen because there was not much receptivity on the part of the Players in bitcontalk, so in this order of ideas we as players sometimes do not know how to see or appreciate well Where and why some Games come from. Strangers It seemed to me at the time to be a very strange game , but after everything I managed to understand that it was for the reason that things with horse racing were no longer working, nor did they need any more.

Casinos that try to Bring games like these, which are considered unpopular to a casino, can work, I don't see it, it is a lie of being able to do things well , since it is not enjoyed in the real world or it is so difficult find that type of activity, because it can take it more towards a digital environment where it can be enjoyed by all of us, but I think something, that when a casino is going to bring it to its platform, it should have a reference, something where the person who goes Let's play it then read and see that this game will be brought because of: xxxx and thus it specifies everything that is referred to that game, and I believe that this would cause a great positive impact, something that cannot be Denied is very good, it is also a special effort through the developers and Casino.

Good thing that we do always have the option on whatever sport or thing that we are interested in.They might not really be that too popular but at least we do know that theyre here and existing.

It do really just turn out that there are really certain sports which is more than that popular than on the other which makes that other sports or things to be that covered and not really that something could be heard of but still there are people who do really engage on certain sports despite on not being that not populart. About horse racing then its really that still existing
which you could really be able to see on most sports betting site that lines been offered, it is really just that people are mostly that focused on basketball, football, boxing or MMA
and the rest would really be just that in second priority.

If you are a horse racing fan then you could really actually be able to bet out even thought its not really that something popular on crypto space
but there are corners of the world who do really loves on watching or seeing this sport and there are sayings that this is really that some of rich people sport. lol

Every games in gambling cannot be popular at the same time, we can be good at some and not on others, what is expected from us is to make our choice and focus on the best way we can enjoy it, even though it may not have to be with horse race because most of the casinos and gambling platforms don't have this on their list of supported games, but we can as well engage interest on related games with horses which are virtual and enjoy gambling.

Its popularity pales in comparison to sports played by high-priced athletes. We are aware that the public always wants to witness something intriguing from individuals worth hundreds of millions of dollars. To this day, equestrian athletes have never made it into the top 10 list of the most expensive figures in the realm of sports.

Indeed, society requires evidence that those with high price tags can deliver the best contributions to their teams. Consequently, many of us prefer watching soccer over horse racing.

Moreover, soccer is more familiar compared to horse racing. A single ball is all that's needed for young children to engage in the game with a large group. In contrast, horse racing lacks familiarity with the masses due to the expensive horses and the requirement for more than two horses to create a competitive environment. This fact is corroborated by the numerous brands and sponsors flocking to popular sports like soccer, basketball, golf, Formula 1, or MotoGP.

The outcome will be known once we give it a shot. As long as the requirements to fulfill are easy, shitposting will persist.

I've never engaged in horse racing gambling, but there might still be someone in this forum who does, even if it's just one or two individuals.

Yeah you are correct, the popularity of sports totally depends on country or environment because people tend to focus more on the kind of sports they normally see and participate all there environment, for example were I come from horse racing does not attract people because it tend to be participated by the only people who has money and also with the belief that horse racing is risky that someone could easily get injured on the process.

So the dominant sports in my environment is soccer because of it popularity and it doesn't take much to start playing football, so however people tend to love more on the kind of sports they can even do themselves.

Yes that is right,  the availability of a game depend in the location of the person because there are some games that only exist on ground which as categorised as traditional games this games sometime only exist during festivities a d after then players will go back to the various life until next festivals before another rounds are held.

Those kinds of game may be popular only in such locations and at limited places onlike other popular gambling games that are popular all around the glob such as dice slot and the rest,  although horse race have achieved some level of popularity in recent time,  but more also still limited and unavailable on many online casinos.

The only people I have seen bet horse races are old people and I don't think that there's not a lot of people that's in this forum that has bet on one even if they say so, I really miss betting or at the least watching one because there's 2 spots in my city that I know of that hosts horse race bets, I see them on my commute back when I was still a highschool student and I can remember that almost always, it's the same people there that's watching and holding their tickets with their bets on it, now those 2 spots have been closed. Another one that I'd like to see hosted here besides horse race is cockfighting and dog race, they're pretty cool games to bet on too.

The popularity of sport will depends on your environment since what mostly introduce or what you is most provably the sports would provably catch your interest. Its just horse racing is not been introduce to us since the common sports we can see on free t.v is basketball,volleyball and football. Other than those sports is ignored by media since maybe their viewership is so low for covering horse racing and other not popular sports.

If you search it on good the result shows that its popular on certain country and US is included in the list maybe you didn't notice it there because the people near you is also not a horse racing fan. Horse racing is classic and up till now it still exist and for sure fans of this sports know some channels that covers the race.
