Once a year, in early November at one of the top horse racing venues in the country is the running of the Breeders’ Cup. This represents two of the best days of horse betting you will ever find with over $26 million up grabs over the course of 13 major graded stakes events. This year’s Breeders’ Cup is set for Friday, Nov. 3 and Saturday, Nov. 4 at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Southern California. Leading up to post time for the first of four races on Friday’s card, now is the time to lock in your online betting outlet for all the action on the board.
Unlike sports such as football and basketball where the big offshore sportsbooks operating online book the majority of each week’s betting action, the betting options for horse racing have been expanded to live tracks across the country, off-track betting sites in large number of states and online horse racing sites that are more than willing to take your bets on a daily basis. The one thing that none of these horse betting alternatives have is the convenience of one-stop shopping through a centralized online betting account.

Just about every offshore book taking sports betting action online also features direct and easy access to a full-service racebook for horse racing bets at any number of tracks in North America and abroad running a daily race card. Even if you only have one sportsbook in place as you online sport betting outlet, you also use that site to bet on horses on a year-round basis. Many of the top books will reward your loyalty when it comes to also placing bets on horses with a number of different perks and incentives designed to help you extend you overall betting bankroll.
The first way that you can bet on this year’s Breeders’ Cup is through the early betting lines that have been posted as ‘future’ odds’ for all 13 events. While the final field for each race will not be fully in place until a couple of days before the actual post time on Friday or Saturday at Del Mar, betting on futures odds for the races offer some of the best value on the board. If your betting strategy is to go chalk on the favorite, you are most likely going to get better value betting them on a futures board at your online sportsbook of choice then you will when the actual morning line odds for each race are finally released.
You will also have a much more diverse set of betting options for the Breeders’ Cup through your online sports betting account such specific prop bets as well as set odds for head-to-head matchups for each race. It is all about the excitement that betting action does bring to each individual race on any track’s card and when it comes to Breeders’ Cup racing that excitement gets ramped up tenfold given the quality of the competition for every event on the two-day schedule.
A number of sportsbooks will let you earn money betting on horses even when you post a losing day. These designated books have a cash-back rebate program in place that will credit your betting account a certain percentage of all the money spent betting horses whether you win or lose at the end of the day. Just to try out their racebook as a new customer, you can also find promotions in place that will give you an upfront risk-free bet to a set dollar amount if the first wager you place on a horse race turns out to be a losing ticket.
The bottom line for why you should bet this weekend’s Breeders’ Cup at the same betting outlet where you are betting this weekend’s games is ease of use, betting diversity and added value through racebook incentives and promotions.
