Betting on Horses Online: Where to Bet
As we inch closer to the Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown races, more and more people want to know the best sites online for betting on horses. Gambling911.com has a few below that are worth a look.
WagerWeb.com – Love these guys. Have been dealing with them even before Gambling911.com went live online in the year 2000. WagerWeb.com has been around since 1994, previously operating out of the Aruba Wyndham Hotel and Casino where they managed the sportsbook there under the name Casablanca.
The website itself is easy to navigate and there are some great betting options available.
When it comes to betting on the horses, typically WagerWeb makes available their odds 24 to 48 hours in advance, sometimes sooner for more marquee races. The horse wagering odds are easy to find. Just go to the site here, look to the top left at Available Sports Lines and select “Horses Odds to Win”. If you don’t see the link, it means they are in the process of releasing odds.
Don’t let that stop you from opening an online betting account with WagerWeb.com though.
WagerWeb.com offers up to $1000 in FREE CASH when you open an online betting account. The FREE CASH bonus is based on your initial deposit. A deposit is YOUR MONEY and the book only takes out what you bet (it’s called “post up”). You’ll need to bet a certain amount before the bonus is applied but this is a great way to get some FREE CASH.
One of the other unique benefits of wagering on horses with WagerWeb.com is that they give up to 13 percent on losses (cash back). See site for details.
BetOnline.com – This is now one of the top 5 largest North American-facing online sportsbooks. It’s pretty amazing when one thinks of the day they first set up offshore, just three guys in a little room. All they did was take bets on horses at that time back in the summer of 2000. Since then, BetOnline.com has grown and grown and grown. It eventually became an online gambling establishment that attracted some of the best talent in the industry.
BetOnline.com at times is the first book to put up a line and they offer some great horse betting odds as well.
Internet wagers will receive a 7% daily rebate. Telephone wagers will receive a 4% daily rebate. There is no limit to how much a Player may earn as well as no minimum volume of wagers that need to be placed. They offer up to $900 in FREE CASH based on an initial deposit.
Horse race betting odds are available the day of the race for most major tracks. Simply click on HORSES when you get to the site here.
Head to head matchups are offered daily. You can place your bet right up to post time. BetOnline.com will never ask for your social security number.
Dave Mason is one of our favorite tweeters and he’s always got the latest lines being offered at BetOnline.com. They also have their own online poker network, which is becoming quite popular among players.
Sportsbook.com – Finally, we just started to observe that Sportsbook.com has been putting up odds on horse races that are easy to locate by simply clicking on the HORSE PROPS link top left of their website. You will see an amazing selection on some days.
Track odds, win, place, show, exotics and the most rebates. Sportsbook.com is the largest online sports betting website catering to North Americans in terms of overall volume. They’ve been around since 1997 and we’ve known these folks for years. Very professional and they love recreational gamblers especially. One of the best credit card conversion rates in the biz.
