In any case, betting on horse racing is a folkloric affair. Horse racing and betting have been linked from the very beginning. As far back as the 17th century, during the reign of Louis XIV in France, gamblers bet on the outcome of horse races. It was perhaps no coincidence that three Arabian stallions were imported to the UK at the same time to breed the modern thoroughbred racehorse. As a result, horse racing and horse betting grew steadily and the respective growth curves became strongly intertwined. Now gamblers worldwide are earning impressive sums by betting on horse racing. This always comes with an extremely balanced and sophisticated set of rules, science and recreational products.
And, quite frankly; horse races need bets. Income from betting generates money for racing stables and is crucial to the huge prize money offered to you as participants. Nowadays we can even say that the survival of horse racing is absolutely dependent on the turnover of horse betting. By betting, you therefore maintain a cultural phenomenon, you help ensure a healthy equestrian sport and you even finance science (after all, letting horses show the best of themselves in the best conditions is not a haphazard activity).
