Topic: Why is horse racing so unpopular here and a bit of extra feedback - page 9. (Read 1734 times)

Well now things are very Different From the 90s, I think the Biggest Reason why the rise of Horse racing has been its decision to defend animals, animal protectors detected that animals are being very mistreated by their owners, or by their children, that this was not the way to treat them so that they would perform, it is fine for an Animal to receive Training to do a type of activity, but not under a scheme that is entirely aimed at violence, for that it is not done in a very traumatic way, then this is what management really is, I think they are partly right, one cannot admit that an animal is treated badly, I don't know but at least I don't see it as correct, a animal Cannot Speak it cannot Defend itself, then these things are what make anyone feel bad, that is also why cockfights have decreased, and Although they are completely different Things, things when it comes to animals are now very delicate.

When I was at the U , I knew that many friends liked to bet, and they went to places where these competitions were held and they really bet hard on horses, the truth is I never did it, because I was more focused on studying than making money , but that experience would have been great, what I didn't know well and I think I had said it in a previous post is that the horses treated them so badly, that is something that should not be, a person, an animal that treats itself badly because it is not the idea, because that way it doesn't work, it doesn't work, it can't even do the right thing, because violence against an animal or person can cause trauma, it can take away their self-esteem, it can generate many problems, sometimes animals suffer from these types of things too. Because really, when things are focused in that sense, bad things are created in the Behavior of the animal, maybe the horses were starting to die or something, the food was not adequate, because these things are what make them bad. and considered abuse.

There are several factors that cause a decline in the interest of most people in horse racing and in the current era more people choose sports such as Football, Cricket, Basketball, Tennis and also Esports to use as a betting option and can provide entertainment when watching them because in Some of these types have been loved by almost everyone in the world and are often the subject of hot discussion.
Moreover horse racing is no longer a trend and there are only a few countries that have this type of sport and quite a few countries also prohibit horse racing because they think it is very torturous to animals.

Due to the increasingly rapid development of the times it seems difficult for horse racing to grow again and be loved by many people again like it was a few years ago when it was still in the 90s.

Perhaps it's just that they're not really that familiar with it at all. Even I will take the chance if I have the time to spare. 1mbtc is still something that adds up eventually if you have them stacked. I guess, it's better to post that prediction game someplace else, or do an introduction here linking that Games and Rounds post to a one here in Gambling Discussion. Or you can place it on your personal text if you really want it to get noticed.

Alright, so you're suggesting that because horses naturally love to run, racing them is just catering to their innate desires. Hmm, by that logic, we should probably start competitive eating championships for Labradors. They love to eat, right? Jokes aside, I get where you're coming from.

Its undeniable that the modern world, with its ever-changing interests, poses challenges for older sports like horse racing. The gambling industry is vast, and for horse racing to keep its stake (pun intended), it has to adapt. The likes of poker, slots, and sports betting have seen innovations. Why cant horse racing?

As for the unfortunate drug incidents, those are indeed stains on the sport's reputation. But every cloud has a silver lining. Such instances shine a light on areas that need stricter regulation, ensuring a brighter future. However, to really tackle the issue of dwindling interest, the industry must look at redefining the experience it offers its patrons.

Personally, if there be any form of ancient sports to bring back, it can be any other, but not horse racing, lets not forget that the world we live in is advancing rapidly in terms of technology, and with the kind of people we have in this generation today, what ever is abandoned is abandoned for good, horse racing is completely outdated and I don't see how that can ever come into play in this generation again, and even to make the chances of a come back slim, is the fact that Horse are no longer as common as they used to be in the 90s..

And like I mentioned in my previous comment, Horse racing was pretty common in the 90s and earlier because horses were pretty common back then, aside watching the sports on tv, several homes had a horse or two which they could practice what they saw on tv with, but today, horses have completely gone obsolete, they are now very expensive and only the super rich in the society can afford to buy it, this is more reason why horse racing may never return.   

Horse racing was cool back in the days but not anymore, I read online that the decline of such sport began in the year 2011, that's a very long time ago, it was already predicted that betting on horse racing would see a major decline, by now the horse race betting interest have already decline up to 30% if not more.

The sport have failed to keep up with other sports like volley, basketball, soccer, tennis and others, the truth is horse racing isn't modern type of gambling and the competition already outpace many attempts of horse racing bets companies.

We all love horse racing, in the 90s I prefer watching movies that have horses in them, that's why I get so much love for cowboy movies, Clint Eastwood for example, people like OP still believes that horse racing rocks, that's no lie, today,  many people believe that horse racing can be saved if bring into the modern age but sadly, many believe it's still too old fashioned, and this my friend is where I belong.  

This sort of stuff is quite common in the horse racing world to be honest with you. So many trainers act as double agents for various businessmen in order to try and earn more money here and there.

Popularity of the sport might have decreased, but it will never disappear and this illegal crap will never disappear either.

Nope, we can't compare horse racing with other animal sports because by default, horses are runners for life, that's what they do either by themselves or we make them do it, it would have been categorized as animal abuse if there is a horse fighting sport.

Also using any form of drug to improve the speed of horses can be considered an abuse too, but horses are born to race, it's in their nature, the thing with horse racing is that people just lose interest in them, they are old sport and no one want to leave Golf or Soccer for horse racing.

I won't say that horse racing is dying but lack of interest is increasing, in 2020 horse racing industry lost over five billions of dollars compare to past years, the popularity is declining.

Do you also know that horse racing also gained bad reputation for drug use? In 2021 the Derby Horse winner aka Medina Spirit was tested positive for performance enhancing drugs, the trainer was banned at the time, This form of abuse can be dealt with but the interest in this sport is the major problem.

Same with cock fighting and other gambling activities involving animals, lots of people are now aren't too comfortable supporting these gambling games. It's already considered animal abuse and I don't think that it would be fair that while we're enjoying, lots of animals are suffering. However, it's just a normal thing for the supporters of this game but if there were other gambling games or sports betting to enjoy, better pick them in my own opinion. Also, it's hard to analyze and have proper basis on where to be when it comes to horse racing because they're really unpredictable and be can also rely our decisions on the available data and statistics even if we do a deep research about their game history.

Things in the world have changed, and horses and horse racing are considered animal abuse because those who did these practices often did not even feed their animals well, they put hormones into them that made them change the normal balance of a horse so that they could give up, then these things as well as being hit, and they can do other types of things because they are not adequate according to the standards to be considered as animal abuse and as it is with betting, because things get worse, because Surely they review the conditions in which they have the horses and no, they determined that, like cockfighting, this is considered so.

It's not only about the casinos trying to catch the attention of gamblers towards the sport, it's that the sport isn't played in most of the regions. That is basically the reason why most bettors have no interest in horse racing because they don't know the game as it is not played in their region at all, and when you have never in your life watched a sport, don't have any knowledge and experience about it, you can barely be interested in it, betting is a very far thing.

The reason why football, hockey, or other sports are so popular throughout the world is that they are played on a local level as well, so the players or people who watch them play also take an interest in the games played on an international level and they tend to make bets on the games because of that.

In my country horse race game is very popular the same with cockfighting and as the same with it there's a winner option but the odds right here is will depend on the popularity of the horse, reputation and of course if there's an underdog like the usual match, and the number of wages will now depends on the horse they bet, that's the concept I've known with here, but due to this pandemic and mass gathering is one of the issues we facing which is the prevention of it and now its not become popular even in the gambling casino I've never seen this they are just adopting the known games in the casino itself and not in the field itself.

Horse riding is indeed one of the olden days sport we enjoyed back then but there's less development in this today due to some reasons beyond our understanding as to why, we can see the performance of football among other sports booming unlike horse riding, this same experience is what transpired even to the gambling organizations that most of them don't have house riding as part of their games they enlist on their casinos.

Tradition may play a vital role on why a sports became famous so maybe this is one of the factor why horse racing is not so familiar. Majority of people is commonly hook with ball games and this is always features on national television that's the reason why horse racing got less exposure to people. Also not all can adopt the culture of horse racing places since there are group of people doesn't like this since for them its animal cruelty or abuse.

The complication begins with the fact that I have no past experience and as I have never seen any horse race or know the rules of the game, also the betting scenario, I am unable to understand what is going on with this. How do I know which one is going to be my best pick and how that horse will perform? In my country, there are no such events where they hold horse racing. It is also hard to find information or know the rules if you have no hands-on experience.

In simple words, it is unpopular here and I have no interest in it. There are other popular games that are way easy to follow and you can enjoy them quite well. So that's from my end. This is the reason why I'm not interested in horse racing.

I think this has something to do with mutualism of interest and culture. Not all countries are having place for horses which makes sense that it will have limited popularity. This is the same as with cockfighting and other gambling games which has an origin. The fact that most of us are familiar with traditional gambling games, then it would make sense for such games to have more players. Also with interest itself; we cannot control other players to play games we are playing 'coz we have different preferences. Some are into what's usual and some are not. For sure there are other gambling games which has a country of origin and are not recognized by us 'coz we have different culture and tradition in the first place.

I think people like simplicity and being able to predict an outcome. If you have a football match, there is usually just a 50/50 chance one of the teams will win and there will be a corresponding odds payout for who is predicted to be the winner. I'm sure most people who have been gambling for a while have "dabbled" in horse racing, maybe won their first bet or two out of sheer luck, but once you've placed 3 or 5 bets you start to realize that it can feel very random trying to pick the winner out of 10 horses. The odds payout look absolutely amazing, get 10 or 50 times your money back?? But no, the chances of picking the winner or staging your bets in a profitable way is beyond the reach of the average gambler, so they stay clear.

Seems like all three of us were wrong, 1mbtc is not enough!
I opened a prediction game in the games and rounds and I have a 0:50 views to participation conversion rate.

It's either that the sub-forum doesn't get that much exposure or 1 mbtc is not enough to pick six of names!
Or is everyone here too rich to take a chance for 1mbtc, we're all whales of betstreet here?

In the northern part of my country we use to host seasonal horse racing and this is mostly done during Salah season where the Muslim royals will be available to make some festive competition and these completions have a high chance of participation,  but that is only to those who are interested in such games.

So I can say horse racing is a segregated activity in my region and at that, we must have to accept the fact that animal games have become an isolated game and unpopular lately.
