Types of Horse Racing
Horse racing comes in a variety of different formats, all with their own unique characteristics.
Flat Race
Flat races run on a flat racetrack, without any jumps or hurdles. They are the most common type of horse race and are typically shorter distances.
Jump Race
Jump races involve horses jumping over hurdles or fences. They are often longer distances and require horses with specific skills and stamina.
Harness Races
In harness racing, the horse is attached to a sulky (a cart) and driven by a driver. They are typically held on a dirt track.
HOW TO START GAMBLING ON HORSE RACING
Horse Racing Odds
Odds express the likelihood of an outcome in a horse race, most commonly being whether a horse will win a race. At Casino Kings, we offer you the option to express your odds in whichever format is preferable for you: Decimal, Fractional, American, HongKong, Malay or Indo. When betting on horse racing, you have several options, though they differ from one horse race to the next.
Decimal Odds
Easy to read, a 2.50 odds bet means a £10 stake returns £25.
Fractional Odds
A UK favourite, where 3/1 means you win £30 from a £10 bet.
American Odds
Less common for darts, but +200 means a £10 bet wins £20 profit.
Win
This is the simplest type of horse racing bet – you’re just betting which horse is going to finish first.
Place
You can bet on a horse to finish first, second, or third. In the Casino Kings sportsbook, we offer place bets as Forecast and Tricast bets – where you can bet on the correct order for the top 2 or 3 finishing positions, or you can select ‘Any’ for a quinella bet.
Each Way
This is a combination of a win and a place bet. You're betting on a horse to win and place. If the horse wins, you get paid out for both bets. If the horse places, you get paid out for the place bet. Just hit the ‘EW’ button on your bet slip to activate Each Way!
Remember: The odds format doesn’t change your winnings – just how they’re displayed. You can switch between formats easily in your Casino Kings account settings.

How Do You Know Which Horse to Bet On?
If you’re unsure which horse to bet on, you can always enter the Casino Kings sportsbook and have a look at our favourite noble steed. Of course, as in every sport, there’s a degree of subjectivity when it comes to horse racing betting odds. Our experts assess the field and track conditions, each individual horse, and as many extraneous variables as they can think of to give you the best possible odds on an array of different horse racing events. Your job is to do the same thing! Here are some key factors to consider when choosing a horse to bet on:
Jockey
Don't overlook the jockey; their communication and tactics directly influence the horse's performance and your potential winnings.
Horse Trainer
Look for trainers with a history of success; they know how to get horses race-ready, which means better odds for you.
Course Suitability
Tracks matter! A horse might love a specific track, distance, or hurdle height; it's all about course preference
Form
Look at the horse’s recent performances. If it has been winning or placing a fair bit recently, it's probably in good form.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I place a bet on horse racing?
Placing a bet is simple. You need to choose the race you want to bet on, select the horse you think will win, and specify the type of bet you want to place (e.g., win, place, each-way). Then, you need to determine the amount you want to wager.
What are horse racing odds?
Odds represent the likelihood of a horse winning a race. They are typically expressed as fractions (e.g., 3/1) or decimals (e.g., 4.0). Higher odds indicate a lower probability of winning, and therefore, a higher potential payout.
What is a handicap race?
In a handicap race, horses are assigned different weights to equalise their chances. This means that horses with a higher rating will carry more weight, while horses with a lower rating will carry less weight. This helps to create a more competitive race.
What is a favourite?
A favourite is the horse that is expected to win a race based on its previous performances and the odds.
How can I improve my chances of winning?
While there is no guaranteed way to win at horse racing, here are some tips:
Do your research: Study the form of the horses, the jockeys, and the trainers.
Consider the course conditions: Some horses perform better on certain tracks or in certain weather conditions.
Manage your bankroll: Set a budget for your betting and stick to it.
Don’t chase losses: If you lose a bet, don’t try to recoup your losses by placing larger bets.
Can I bet on horse racing online?
Yes, you can bet on horse racing online through licensed and regulated sportsbooks just like the one at Casino Kings!
What payment methods does Casino Kings accept?
We accept a wide range of casino payment methods, including debit cards, e-wallets, and bank transfers.
