Bet on Virtual Horse Racing at 1win

People have been placing bets on horse racing since medieval times and this pastime has evolved into a multi-billion dollar industry today. 

Punters usually place bets on win, place or show in horse racing. To win a win bet, also known as a straight bet, the horse you picked must finish first in the race. To win a place bet, the horse you picked must finish either first or second. To win a show bet, the horse you picked must finish either first, second or third. The odds for a win bet is higher compared to a place or a show as the chances of a horse winning a race is slimmer than predicting any position.

More experienced punters prefer placing “exotic” bets where they wager on multiple horses in a single race or multiple races. The types of single-race exotic wagers are exacta, quinella, trifecta and first four. Examples of multi-race exotics are daily double, running double and treble.

In North America, the three major horse racing events are the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes. A horse that wins all three races in a single year wins the Triple Crown. Horse racing is also very popular in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, the Middle East and Australia.

Horse races are held daily in many countries throughout the year so there’s plenty to choose from. If you can’t bet on actual horse racing, the good news is a virtual version is available in many online betting sites including 1win.
