Horse Racing Betting

Betting on horse racing is something that has been around for thousands of years. The Egyptians, Greeks and the Romans all loved having a splurge on their chariot racing and betting on anything on four legs. The industry has come a long way since then but it has increased in popularity and continues to thrill people from all corners of the globe.

When you talk about betting on sport then the biggest industry of them all is horse racing. The very support survives due to the gambling element. Many would argue that with no betting there wouldn’t be a point to racing at all. When you also talk about world sports you can certainly include horse racing and the sport is enjoyed by people from every continent across the globe.

In Australia we have a rich racing tradition that has been around for nearly 150 years. Champions like Archer, Tulloch, Vo Rouge, Bone Crusher, Rain Lover and Sunline have all become household names. The most famous of them all was Phar Lap who was an inspiration to the general public of Australia during the great depression. More recently Makybe Diva has been the greatest mare we have ever seen and her feat of three Melbourne Cups and a Cox Plate may never be repeated.

Horse racing betting is something that is ingrained in the Australian culture, whether betting on the track or having a little flutter with a few mates down at your local pub or TAB. More recently internet betting has made horse racing far more accessible to everyone and the odds on offer are far more attractive to the punter. 888sport is looking to increase its coverage of local and international racing so that their clients can enjoy all the benefits of this wonderful industry and pastime.
