    Horse Racing - Where to bet?
    Hello. New to this community.

    Question: Looking to bet a horse big this week. Don't want to affect the track odds, so thinking of spreading it across multiple offshore sportsbooks. It would be a Class C or D track (depending on where I look). It seems like that type of wager is capped at 10k total payout. That is fine, but I would probably want to wager at multiple sites if that is the case.

    What I have learned so far.

    Bovada & Bookmaker not available in my state
    Betanysports only allows 20 across the board for the track I want
    I have accounts with Youwager and BetUS that I have barely (I mean, barely) used in the last 10 years.

    So, who would you trust to open an account just for this horse racing wager? And get paid if I win?

    If you are trying to bet big money, keep it out of the small pools, and bet with a reputable book, that will probably be tough. I mean, who in their right mind would hold money at a track that is most likely filled with corruption. ( Purse size typically dictates that sort of thing.)

    I suggest doing the math based on the pool size or sizes and bet smaller amounts that only affect the prices to your liking. Other than that, any book that would take a very large wager on a class D track most likely has no intention of paying off anyway.

        We need the name of the track to see exactly what he is asking Nasher. They are rated A-D and low limits are set on the D tracks because of the pool size and therefore, shady practices sometimes.

        I think you are right but they might limit the play to 20.00 bucks or whatever.

        Just need more info.

          Why not go to drfbets, twinspires or nyra, deposit his $10K or $100K he wants to bet. They won't limit him.

          Why he wont?

          Because he'll kill his own odds. Why he needs offshore or local, though both limit horse payoffs anyway.

            It is generally considered a C or D track. Most offshore books allow a 10k win limit on these tracks. So, if a horse goes off at 10-1, I can bet 1k and hit the limit. If I did this at 5 offshore sportsbooks, I could potentially cash in 50k. However, if I bet that same 5k at any site that funnels the money into the true betting pool, the horse would potentially go off at 5-1 instead of 10-1 (due to that wager alone). That wouldn’t happen at offshore books cause they don’t add the money to the betting pool (thus dont’ affect the odds). I just need to know what offshore books you would trust to potentially hit for 10k and walk away. Or are they just going to screw me since I am not an established player with them?
