bet on a horse race

Living in the city that’s home to Churchill Downs, I’ve always played around a bit with betting on the ponies, even as a child when my family would have a $1 pool and draw horses for the Derby. This year, though, my man has been taking me to races at Keeneland and Churchill Downs more often (he’s a bit of a gambler), and I’ve started to learn more about how wagering really works. What I’ve REALLY learned, though, is this: never take more money to the track than you will be comfortable losing, and trust your instincts! I mean, if analyzing all the details about horses in a race really worked, there wouldn’t be much of a random element to it.

I recently had my first big win at Keeneland: bet $2 across the board on a horse that went off at 80-something to 1 odds, and it had an amazing come-from-behind win that netted me $250 on a $6 bet!

Hi there,
the other week and had a great
time with my kids too.
for tips. Have found them really good, today
for example, they had 8 winners from just 14
selections in the UK. It is all based on a
horse racing betting system.

you at the races one day!

Well, good luck all, and might see

I went to the horse races with my mom and some other family. It was a really fun day.

At the end of the day I was down $6.20. Not bad.

I’ll definately do this again.

tryon blockhouse steeplechase every year… and i never ever win! i guess that’s what i get for betting based on the horse’s names! but it’s still fun…

not as a habit though,i would imagine…i didnt have a clue either,but my mates persuaded me to when we were out on the piss at christmas,i won 60p for £3 of bets but it was great fun!

I told my roommate that I wanted to do this. I convinced him that it could be really fun. We’re going to go sometime soon!

I had no idea what I was doing. I prefer Bingo for gambling.

I had fun betting although I had no idea what I was doing. I think I’d do it again too. I think the first time I went was when I was a sophomore in high school. I felt like I was a rebel or something ha ha.

I told my mom that I want to go with her sometime. She goes fairly often and will let me know next time she is going to the races.

Theres a track much closer to where I live, but I want to go with someone familiar with the whole thing for my first trip. If I have fun I’ll drag my friends with me to the local track.

I used to bet on the ponies in California, made it a rule to never spend more than $10, Actually came home once with over $300! Just watching them run is fun also!!! But set a limit and keep it!
