Welcome to Horse Betting

A Little Tidbit on the History of Horse Betting.

Competitive horseracing is one of the most ancient sports of all time, beginning with its origins during the prehistoric nomadic tribesmen of Central Asia which first domesticated the horse about 4500 BC. For thousands of years, horse racing increased as the sport of kings and the nobility. Now in modern racing it exists primarily because it is a major venue for legalized gambling.
Horse racing is the second most widely attended U.S. spectator sport, after baseball. In 1989, 56,194,565 people attended 8,004 days of racing, wagering $9.14 billion. In other countries horse racing is also a major professional sport such as in Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and South America.
The most popular form of the sport is the racing of mounted Thoroughbred horses over flat courses which distances include from three-quarters of a mile up to two miles. Other major forms of horse racing are harness racing, steeplechase racing, chariot racing and Quarter horse racing.
