Horse betting specifics. About horse betting types and events worldwide
[ 29.08.16 ]
Horse betting is a whole new world with its own values, laws, and traditions. The world known only to equestrians and horse betting fans.
Racing comes in two main formats – horse racing and harness racing. Amateurs probably won’t see any difference between the two but they differ dramatically. In horse racing, a jockey is riding a horse over a set distance for competition. In harness racing, horses pull a two-wheeled cart steered by a driver.
Horse betting advantages
Horse betting advantages include:
- large number of runs (more than 100 runs daily);
- runs are short.
These two significant advantages allow you to place multiple bets in a short period of time and develop a smart horse racing betting strategy.
