Betting Sites Misguide People

By Prasannaa | 30-May-2021

Idid not bet on International races last Lear as I was not so keen. I started betting on International horse racing 3 weeks back after Ooty races were called off, but now I have stopped betting on International races, reason being betting sites misguide people.

I look at the market trend before deciding on a bet in any race because I don't know past performance of international trainers or Jockeys. So getting idea from market trend is the only thing I can look upto, and this is where I felt cheated by betting sites, including bet 365. This is what I have observed

1) If a horse has opened at 2.5 and is backed down till even money, only after the race is over the results will declare it's odds as even. But even when the race is about to start the odds will be hovering around 1.75-2, which only reflects that there has been some betting but it is not heavily backed. This we get to know only after the race, so we lose an opportunity to earn good money.

2) If a horse is at 1.5 and the odds increase in market to 3-4 and the horse loses, we will get to know only after race is over, that too if the horse runs second or third. But before the race starts the odds will be around 2 which does not indicate that the odds have changed drastically and a higher probability that the horse will lose. 

For people who are not sure, I request them to check on odds before race and after race in results section, especially on bet365.

I would rather save money for now and start betting when races in India begin as there we don't have to rely on online betting sites.

Prasanna,

Badboys may be correct; OR you may be correct; OR both of you may be correct.

But, your decision to stay away from international races is a good one.  Always bet on Indian races.

A KNOWN DEVIL IS BETTER THAN AN UNKNOWN ANGEL!

I am talking only about the fixed odds..I will get the money for the odds that I bet but the problem is if the odds are changed 1 minute before the race u ll get to know only when u r placing a bet otherwise it ll not reflect the true price ..So ideally if there is heavy betting on a horse the actual odds will reflect only when I try to place a bet on that horse. .

International horse racing is much better than what we are witnessing here. 

The role of stewards, club management is amazing. How Trainers, jockeys, and their managers are being scrutinized at every level.

The level of photography and commentary is excellent.

We don't even dream of having such discipline here.

Look at the whopping taxes here. through these international betting sites, you can have only genuine transactions.

Bro 

First understand the what they are posting after the race they will give result on tote price if you play on fixed odds you will get same odds. But you are simply blaming international sites
