That's probably because no one knows where to watch it? Are the organizers of those races streaming them or broadcasting them in a sports channel somewhere? I believe if it's accessible like those other sports, it might become more popular in the forum. But I'm not much of a gambler. I like playing Craps sometimes when I have absolutely nothing to do.
Yeah. This is a fair point. I have only ever watched horse racing events in movies and shows, but I never watched them in real life primarily because it's not really accessible as you mentioned.

I checked them and greyhound events as a gambler and ended up losing constantly since I am an amateur in these particular markets.


Plus if there are Horse Racing streams/channels, do they make it actually exciting enough for plebs like us who are not entirely gamblers, and make it stimulating and entertaining enough to watch if we're not betting? I occasionally watch different sports/games, but none of them is stimulating enough to make me waste my money and bet on them. It's more entertaining to bet on Bitcoin Binary Options if you ask me, or play slot machines with progressive jackpots.

I don't think channels like this exist again unlike before where you could choose to select from a variety of channels that shows or stream horse racing, maybe this is due to the advanced technology that people now create more atrent of sport bettings and their games in the likes of football being the most recognized one of them all, horse racing seems to be an ancient or historical game or form of entertainment which people have advanced from it to others, both the live horse racing and it gambling on casino bets are no more invoke.

Lol, I am into gambling really but I cant help but agree with you that indeed, sometimes, the way some sports event are presented, makes such sports an easy turn off for watchers, as well as potential gamblers who might want to have placed some bets on the game.

A recent example for me is the women's world cup tournament that came and ended some months back, this years women world cup was the first ever I decided to sit down and possibly bet on, but unfortunately, I wasn't at all impressed, I only ended up betting on about 3 or 4 matches at the beginning and never placed a bet on any of the game again until the tournament came to an end.

Some sports are just like that, and horse is one of those for me, I personally find watching a horse race as one of the most boring thing for me, it's just like bicycle race, very boring to sit and watch.

Popularity of a sport depends on patronage and support. Cock fighting and bull fighting were very popular in the past but with the passage of time people have lost interest in these sports. Similarly, horse racing is currently practiced on a small scale in some areas, but its popularity has declined worldwide. Especially due to the lack of racers and the decrease in interest of racers, currently horse racing is not held in any international venue if it is held in some remote areas.
The popularity and support for horse racing is decreasing because young people in this era have shifted their passion for sports to sports that are easier to watch and also easier to play, such as football and basketball.
Horse racing has lost popularity on the world stage in the last few years and the last time I received information about the Horse Racing World Cup being held in Dubai but it was canceled due to the Covid pandemic, after that I don't know whether this championship was held or not because it didn't follow developments either.

Recently Saudi Arabia has finished holding horse racing championship with very large prizes and it is true that you say that horse racing is now only popular in certain places or countries.
The young generation is not really interested in horse racing, in this case it can be said that they are showing interest in popular sports like motorcycle racing, bicycle racing and skating, football, cricket, basketball and car racing. Horse racing and bullfighting competitions are held at some arenas but there is no international format for these competitions. Sometimes in our rural hilly remote areasThere are cock fighting competitions but in that case social media cannot organize any of those competitions. That's why all these popular games are gradually not becoming popular as before only due to lack of advertisement and sponsorship. Moreover, there is no organizer or sponsor of all these competitions, so this primitive popular game is not taking place at present.

The decline in public interest in horse racing is, in my opinion, due to several significant circumstances. 
Firstly, racehorsves are very expensive and their period of participation in competitions is limited to only a few years.  And this is very little.  Also, a horse requires a lot of expenses to maintain it throughout its entire life. 
I also think that the profession of a jockey is a very dangerous profession and few people who truly love horses are capable of such work.  Therefore, in particular, there are few professional-level jockeys.  For these reasons, this sport in my opinion is becoming less and less popular. 
But these races are a tradition in many countries and competitions will still be held in the future

However we do not yet know how many gamblers are involved in horse racing on this forum because this board does not have a specific thread discussing horse racing so we cannot research the level of interest of forum users towards horse racing betting, if horse racing matches become more interesting and they will try your luck in betting on these sports.
That's probably because no one knows where to watch it? Are the organizers of those races streaming them or broadcasting them in a sports channel somewhere?

It's true, you can barely find any channel live streaming the races or any TV channel broadcasting them live to the audience so that they can watch the races and maybe raise some interest. It's been years since the last time I saw a horse racing live stream or a sports TV broadcasting a horse racing competition, maybe because there isn't a lot happening and the organizers already know that there aren't a lot of people interested in the sport on a global scale.

Whatever the reason is, the sport is slowly fading away and sooner or later, the world will forget that there was once a sport like this, or maybe a future generation will start the sport once again with a new start, new rules, and ways for the race and racers, etc. For now, we are going to admit that horse racing isn't a popular sport anymore.
You can watch live races through sportsbooks such as Betcoin. They have live feeds. Maybe I am wrong but I think horse racing is getting more popular.

Not totally fading away since some country have this sports as tradition like in Serbia and other country which horse racing is still popular locally. This sports is one of the main highlight in my municipality since we have rodeo festival every year. Not a regular horse tournament but we celebrate it annually and there’s a here to have our own horse racing stadium soon since our municipality plan to revive this sports.

I believe making it famous is very easy once there’s already an organizer that will organize this kind of event globally. This sports will never be forgotten since this is already a tradition in some country.

I have been betting on horse racing on the betfair platform for a long time. Very often I have seen the leader fall just before the finish line or slow down unexpectedly, and as a result the victory goes to the participant with very low odds...... It makes you think
Yes bro you make an argument where odds can be increased or decreased depending on the pace of a sport or competition, but odds cannot be increased or decreased so quickly in horse racing. So the casino authorities may have excluded the horse racing item considering these problems. Moreover, there may be many other ancillary problems but this important problem can be one of the main reasons for a horse to drop out of the race.

 Cool
Even though horse racing has grown in several countries that you have mentioned above, horse racing is only popular in certain regions of the country, although the interest of horse racing spectators is expected to increase, but they are not interested in gambling on the game.


Although what you have posted is true, it doesn't make it true that Horse Racing has been going through a decline in popularity like what HelliumZ said.

The forum of keyboard warriors & crypto pro's!
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?


Interesting topic I have played both for several years and love them both. (horse racing & sportbetting)
Horse racing is a whole world and it contains so much more then just bet on a winner in each race.
Almost all my horse racing experience is from trotting.

I used to play on horse racing a lot before and it did go quite well, I think horse racing is a much less lucky game and more skill game then sport betting.
Thing with  horse racing is that at least in my opinion is so different from country to country and what game you want to play so it's hard to answer your questions.

- 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 sure think to start with people that already are interested in horse racing but with time and if it achieve success it will for sure grow fast.

- 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?
I don't really understand your question here.. You want people to open links and collect information or you want to create a gambling team where people expertise is horse racing and increase your bet so you can increase your chance to win higher? But for sure.. horse racing is a whole world and it contains so much more then just bet on a winner in each race.

- Is anyone here actually gambling on horse racing?
Me? not active at the moment, but will for sure go back again and have done so for 15+ years. But short answer Yes!

I will follow this with excitement! Good luck OP.  Smiley

I don't know in what region of the world where you currently are, but you're wrong. The global Horse Racing market is actually still growing and expected to almost double in size in the U.S. market by 2030. DYOR, for more information.

There are really indeed information on this forum which arent really that can be found on which there are indeed markets or places on which a certain thing is popular but not been discussed or been heard off into this place and thats why its not shocking that there arent that much information that we could read up into this forum itself but doesnt mean that it isnt popular.  Speaking about markets then there's really that places which are really that getting involved on such sport. First impression when it comes to horse racing is that this is a sport which are really that for those rich people which i could say that its half truth because
you would be usually be seeing huge bets that getting involved on each race.

On the time that we arent seeing info here on this forum then people arent really just that simply aware about it but if we do tend to go out and made out some
research then we could eventually say that on how vast or known or popular it is. It do really just turns out that this isnt really that
mentioned on this place.

The game survival is based on the support from the gamblers,if you are eating the good food from one restaurant one day.So you going to the same restaurant after the year on the same date,but the same restaurant was replaced by the beauty parlour.So the reason behind this was very simple,the lack of the people support to the restaurant to manage their demands using the restaurant.So like this the reason behind the loss of horse racing in your locality and the other counties was due to the emerge of the other online gambling sites.This also caused by the adoption of the gambler to the online betting compared to the horse racing in the community.

Well, I guess it's more of what is popular in your locality and what kind of game interests you that you can make a thread on or positively air your inputs in. Soccer and gained ground in almost all  of the world and it's difficult to see a gambler that hadn't been involved in soccer reduction and gambling so it's easy to see lots of threads regarding it and it kind.

For the horse racing, I haven't thought of it that much but I guess I should give it a try.
Yes,  because going with what is popular in your locality helps you blend with the terms that goes a long with what is happening around you also,  take for instance,  horse racing,  this kind of games is so popular in sub Saharan areas,  since the use the animal a lot there and there is limited forestation so there can host the horse ride tournaments at will and also come up with vast landscape to play the game without any interferences.

Well if yan u can have an online casino that has a horse race,  then you can try it,  but then try also to make use of a few demo games to get used to the game before you start staking your funds on them.
