Why is horse racing so unpopular here and a bit of extra feedback

[ajiz138]

I don't understand horse racing betting, I don't like it even though I only briefly see news about horse racing but never delve into it.

In its own country, horse racing is not very popular, any sport involving animals, maybe this bet is more popular in Europe and America, while what I know is that Asia is not so interested in it.
One sport that is generally popular is football, as a fan I also place bets and often play on this sport.

Talking about betting funds it varies but I don't have more than 2mBtc, only .5mBtc which I often allocate for soccer betting.

This will be great if you can add a play by play summary about the race so that bettors will have an idea on what’s happening with the race. I remember playing on some sportsbook that offering dog race, They provide live stream of the game that makes the betting experience enjoyable since this type of sports is not being broadcast frequently.

I might checkout this, The new betcoin looks appealing.

What i know that Horse racing is popular in the Arab countries in Asia too but i never showed interest in this sport, maybe because it is not being played excessively like other sports such a football etc.

Also, I haven't seen much betting on them online, or maybe I missed this part since i am not interested in this sport. Another thing is that I never saw any horse racing tournament broadcast on the tv, which could be the reason for me being ignorant of this sport.

I think this generation does not really give in to horse racing compared to the older generation. Come to talk of it, I think it is just an old fashioned sports that is losing attention to the new generation. Aside that, the possibility why people do not think or give in to this particular sports is that the sports pattern is an outdated one and hence not attractive as well.

Myself I have not seen a horse for sometime now probably because I don't go to places I could see them lately at least places like the zoo but dogs are more common to see around and to know what capacity they could be used including sports and gambling. This will likely be the situation of the larger youth gambling population and of course they make up more of the gambling population. My point also is that it looks like horse racing is dying out and most casinos also don't usually include it on their games, they prefer card and table games like roulette, slots, blackjack. Moreover, majority of gamblers like the soccer game, I guess that is where the attention is and that is where casinos chase the gambling population to.

Absolutely, horse racing is already faded away even though few casino have that game option on their site, it does not really get the traffic they expect compared to other sports. If one must gamble on a horse, one must know the capabilities of the horse before betting so as to be on the safe side. I believe this is one of the attributes bettors look out for before they attempt such game but in a situation where they do not have clues just like the football where you already know the capabilities of each team and their players, you could be able to predict the winner of the game based on what you have seen them do before but the horse race is likely not that same pattern to go with.

As you have said, horse racing seems to have faded away and possibly the youth gambling population does not really look into it to giving it a try. Maybe just a few try it out and majority of the elderly who see it as fun to do. Like in my country, I have never heard any youth talk about horse racing before not to think of they betting on it. Even casinos too do not really look into that direction too. Every one wants to flow with the trend to be able to serve their clients to maximum satisfaction.

In my case, I've always tried to bet on things I watch, know and like watching. I don't bet on horses for the same reason I don't bet on cricket. It's just not a popular thing where I'm from and I never enjoyed it.
When I talked about sports with random people in my area they're usually fans of football and volleyball. Some, rare cases like basketball and some, like me, contact sports, mainly MMA, boxing, muai thai...
I feel like it became a reality for all of us to bet on sports that we enjoy. I don't know anyone who doesn't like football but bets on it, and the other way round, someone who loves football and gambles, but prefers to bet on something he doesn't watch, like tennis.
 

Not planing on doing that, I will just run out of my own funds as it's just for my own entertainment, just as I still pay for a diablo server despite not playing there for almost two years, I just like that chaat and the guys meeting there.

I know what you mean. I've been a player myself for many years in many different games and I always feel a bit nostalgic when thinking about them and the people I met there.

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?   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?

If it's free to enter, yes, perhaps it will attract lots of attention. People can just throw random shit anywhere and hope for the best, so they can also do this on a tournament/prediction game that you will hold with your own funds.

- 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?

Another yes. Clicking a few links and reading a few lines of text about the game will be enough of an incentive for those who are looking to get the prize money. It may not be a 100% certainty that people will be winning though, but taking chances is what gamblers do anyway. Plus, the requirements are pretty easy.

- Is anyone here actually gambling on horse racing?

I used to bet on OTB horse racing locally, though my interest on it subsided as years go by. I shifted to eSports and more popular sports because I can't seem to find a platform that offers these lines and then some for me to continue following it. Perhaps there are some platforms now but nah, my interest on it already died years ago.

I remember that some channels in my TV when I was so young they only stream Horse Races 24 hours a day, probably the reason why i hate or let’s say didn’t want to get into this sport betting kind. I only know the ways of betting with the odds if you win but i can’t understand much about it and is there any champions, like football and how the races are organized? Many casinos here allow and offer horse racing betts but they don’t promote it that much simply because it’s less popular than football, ufc and other sports

One thing I’m sure of is if you started a paid competition for betting in here, you will find supporters and much participant as long as it’s a fun and well organized event. I never bet in Horse races but i would love to try it here with you

Horse racing is very popular on oldies because my uncle is still into it u til now. I think most of the forum member hanging out on gambling board are Genz or Millennials which is why they preferred the popular sports over this animal sports that is not widely available globally.

Horse racing is very hard to win since it’s betting option consists of multiple choices that more than the typical 2 option. I believe it’s very rare for a young one to have a passion on horse unless their family is involved on it or they are from the community that this sports is popular.

Probably, horse racing is not popular and is not played anymore these days because we have modern gambling games that are introduced in the gambling market. And these new games are much easier to bet or played for than betting on a horse racing which I think gamblers these days find it already old and boring. However, perhaps in some countries horse racing is still a popular game due to their yearly festivals, but here in my country, horse racing is no longer recognized or being played anymore.

Horse race was the offline gambling still available in many countries specially in the Asian countries.Even though many online casino and gambling was exist in all the countries,the people still had their interest in the horse racing.The interest and popularity of horse race was reduced because of the game fixing become a common one.So most of the gamblers are forced to loss the money without any reason.The game conducting people should clear the black dot on them to get the market to the horse race again.The horse race also involve of big money,So the gamblers with less money will use of online gambling as compared to the horse race.

Where I live betting on horse racing is probably the most widely accepted form of gambling.

Oh finally someone!!!!!   1:20, not bad not terrible!

Fading away?
USA - Breeders' Cup, $50 million bet on 5 races, $200 million over the two days, 50k spectators each day,
Australia - Everest, $15 million, 45 000 attendance
British Champions Day ,  £30 million in bets, £5million prize money, 25 000 spectators
Saudi Cup $30 million pool prize, Dubai World Cup $12 million  pool prize
Japan World Cup, 100 thousand attendance, 6 million for the winner

Somebody paid for the Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus $70 million and horse racing is dying?

Yup, I need to plan it nicely, make it easy to enter, and at the same time force the participants to at least know how many legs a horse has!
And, yeah, somebody will be winning definitely, even if nobody manages to get any race winner I will still hand the prize to the guy that got closest to something, like one that managed to choose a horse that got at least second or third. I need to think about this!

[Johnyz]

Where I live betting on horse racing is probably the most widely accepted form of gambling. There are places everywhere like bars that have betting on horse racing available right there. There’s no need for a casino or to have to jump online and find a way to gamble. I imagine that is part of the reason that betting on horse racing isn’t as popular online.

There’s a lot of bettors in my place for the horse racing and I agree this is very traditional though some sites already introduced this option and yet many still don’t want to adopt as they feel more the excitement of this race if they will bet locally. If you are going to introduce this online, make sure to have your marketing team ready so you can attract more gamblers as much as possible.

Possibly your assertions  with respect to your locality might be true and correct based on your experience and findings. If such happens then we should know that is just one amongst the numerous reasons why the horse racing seems fading away.

Most times the environment matters too to contributing to the availability of horses in a region. For instance, here in Africa, my country to be precise there are no much of horses. Some zoo even have no horses to watch out for. Africa as a whole I think do not prioritise horse racing that is why it seems Africa is not on the list of horse racing. Moreover, there are some horse disease too prevalent in Africa that makes it seems horse racing is not effective here.

i believe that most horse racing bettors are enjoying to bet it via physical watching of this race. or a lot are also watching via screen. hence, very few are betting online without watching the race either physical or virtual. the excitement is different when you are watching the race even if it is on screen. but some online bookies may already be offering some live streams. for online bettors who are not watching the race, for sure, they are already familiar with those entries.

[serjent05]

The unpopularity of horse racing may have contributed to the advancement of technology and the application available on the internet plus the casinos that host events.  In my place horse racing is popular among the oldies but the lack of access to the internet and the advertisement that promotes it make it lag behind.  If the casino starts promoting horse races then it may probably come back to its popularity but I really don't know why casinos and bookmakers are not so fond of promoting such gambling events.

[pixie85]

Also, with limited funds and being an occasional gambler, why would I start to learn about horses? Why would anyone?
Maybe if you gamble a lot and want to try a new thing but an average sports bettor who has $100 or less a month to spend and can find more than enough things he or she likes and knows a thing or two about will not try to find new things unless there's money to be made from it.

I think I could get into it if I had someone to introduce me to the sport. If I were to do it only for myself, without having anyone to talk to and enjoy it with, I'd end up betting on the things I'm familiar with.
I guess a betting game could work as an incentive.

I mostly bet sports but do bet a little on horse racing. It's a good a idea to get something going here.

If we take a recap, there are lots of threads talking about horse racing and questioning whether it's ethical or not. There are even threads related to that, if I remember correctly, that horse racing is a form of animal cruelty. Many people have shown different opinions regarding that.

Yes, I do bet on horse racing and have a bit of knowledge about it. I lived in a community where horse racing operators were only a few blocks away from our home. However, I don't know the current status but some of them are still closed today. Maybe shift to online operation. Not sure though.

As for your plan, we will only know the result once you make it live. For example, I opened up a Mobile Legends Tournament even without doing a survey if many users are playing that game. Some show interest when I make it live but most of the challenges do not end up in a real match.

I loved horse racing with a passion.

But I became a compulsive gambler and no longer bet anything at all.

My grandad was a compulsive gambler
My dad was a compulsive gambler
I am a compulsive gambler in recovery.
My brother is an active compulsive gambler.

  I watch so many races at Aqueduct Racetrack that if I was in my favorite seat and the finish was too close to call I could call a dead heat and be right every time.

But I am done with it last bet was in July of 1990

[pakhitheboss]

Is anyone here actually gambling on horse racing?

Never enjoyed betting on any games that is termed cruel. You van search the internet and you find the cruelty of horse racing. Both the jockey and the horse are at great risk of getting injured while racing. There have been incidents reported in the media where these young colt have died due to racing. In such situation how can anyone bet on such a game. It is far better to bet on sports like football and others. It's is nothing but my choice that I avoid gambling in such games.
