Every sport is unique, but there is something about horse racing that really sets it apart from any other event I can think of. The joy of gambling on horse races is about so much more than just heading down to the local track to place a simple bet.
The Horses The horses are, of course, at the core of the horse racing experience. Having said that, it is impossible to visit a track and ever think of them as just something you bet on again. If there is a more regal animal on this planet, I don't know what it is. It is easy to see why teenage girls fall in love with horses and force their parents to drive them to the local farm day-after-day so they can take lessons in riding. The horse is simply a magnificent animal and one that is primed to run. Tracks Then there are the tracks. My local track is Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne. I have a unique relationship with it because I've been going to it for the vast majority of my life. When I was young, I used to work at it during the summer season. My job was to make sure the ice in the VIP boxes was always full given the hot days. This task put me front and center with the big betters. I could see their anguish when they lost and their pure joy when they won. The shear excitement of each race was enough to hook anyone and I was no different. Oh, and the tips were great as well! Adrenaline Gambling on horse races is one of the more poignant processes I've ever experienced in sports. One spends leisurely time sizing up the field, considering the merits of each horse and then making a bet. After that, you walk over to a vantage point where you can see the track and the anticipation begins to build. The horses come out onto the track and the anticipation builds even more. Before you know it, they are in the gate and the race starts. For the next few minutes, you are truly alive as the adrenaline rushes through your body. Then the horses come down the home straight and you know whether your betting hunch was correct or not. A win will have you pumping your fist. A loss will have you grimacing and tearing up your betting slip. It is an amazing experience through and through – one everybody should experience at one time or another. Never Gets Old The one thing that I have found to be really unique about gambling on horse races is the adrenaline rush never fades. After 30 plus years of playing the ponies, I still find myself up on the balls of my feet as the horses come to the finishing line. I'm still pumped up when I win and aggravated when I lose. It is perhaps this consistent feeling that makes it such a joy to gamble on horse races versus any other sport. Variation One thing that definitely makes horse racing a blast is the variation available to you when it comes to bet. While anyone can bet on a horse to win, place or show, the real fun is had in the area of what I call the exotic bets. Let's take a look at a couple of favorites. If you bet at all, you should of course place a pick six bet in which you try to predict the six winners in six consecutive races. It is almost impossible, but the payoff can be huge. Think of the lotto and you will have the idea. An easier bet that is also fun is the Quinella. In this bet, you pick two horses you think will finish in first and second in the race in question. It doesn't matter which one finishes first or second. So long as they come in to the finish in both positions, you win. It sounds simple, but developing a strategy for picking a Quinella can really get your brain working. The Exacta is a variation of the Quinella. The difference is you not only must pick the two horses that will finish in first and second in a race, but you must pick the order in which they finish. This makes things a bit more complex, but the Exacta also pays out more so it is generally worth having a go at it. Describing the joy of gambling on horse races is sort of like describing the joy of eating a cherry pie made by your mom. It is hard to describe, so the best advice I can give you is to just try it once. That should be more than enough to have you coming back for seconds.
