Best places to bet on French horse racing

**Hareeba!** · 05-16-14, 04:44 PM

I have only one option.
No prize for guessing it.
Hint: It's not Bet365, WmHill or Ladbrokes

**allin1** · 05-16-14, 04:56 PM

Betfair does not have all the tracks.

Racebets who are listed on oddschecker have others but still not as many as zeturf.

I don't know much about any of them that's why I was hoping to get some more info.

Not really. Aside from the Arc, I don't really follow it but sometimes I get a good tip and have a bet.

Interesting read that.

If you're in the U.S. Xpressbet has several tracks from the UK and France.

best worlwide racebook by far is racebets out of German I believe

Been around too for a while , do not know though if they have a lot of currency options

**allin1** · 05-18-14, 12:11 PM

Thanks jj. Good to know.

**shaunovery** · 05-18-14, 12:49 PM

Pretty difficult to bet French racing apart from arc meeting as it's done on the pari-mutuel

**kkkkk** · 05-19-14, 02:34 AM

nice site but with articles named lates news and not dated or tipping service with last tip 2 of march doesnt attract me at all.

They were under the Bet-at-home umbrella initially, they are very quick to limit your account to nil or SP only after only a few bets, a favourite ploy is to give you bonus money on a deposit for your birthday then restrict your bets almost immediately after. Plenty of race options but a totally useless book.

I wonder why they would limit you there offering the toad odds basically

Nobody wins betting horses

All credibility lost.

Hey mate, do us a favour will you and contact all those Pommie and Australian bookies who have barred so many of us from betting fixed odds on horses and tell them that we can't possibly beat them.

Yes it seems they were acquired by bet-at-home in '06-'07 which isn't an encouraging sign.

Regarding the limits, I guess that happens everywhere when you take better odds than SP and keep winning. Only places where you can bet at better odds than SP and not get limited are the exchanges.

They seem to have more races than any other place, so maybe a decent option for some.

This is an old fashioned even money bet, which is allowed by law in the states if I'm not mistaken, no bookmaking here by either side.

However, I remember the owner of this site was asking to have a million at 3/1 on Romney to win the election, funds held by pinnacle.

When did the rule change?

**jjgold** · 05-20-14, 06:05 AM

Never heard of that one and I know most of them

JJ do you know any other similar horse betting sites like race bets?

**jjgold** · 05-23-14, 06:27 AM

No

Its a nice setup too

If I bet horses I just use the usa legal online shops like TVG or Twinspires

**Goldcastle** · 05-28-14, 08:08 AM

Has anyone place an Omni/Swinger bet? It looks interesting and seems to be really popular in French racing. Any advises on placing this wager or strategies?

**faststeady** · 05-28-14, 05:41 PM

in australia this is called a "duet" and pays lower than an exacta or quinella (first 2 places)

Its best used when you like a roughy thats paying in double figures or when you want to take on the favourite with either the 2nd/3rd fav plus a roughy
