Racing

Betting on horse racing is drastically different for betting on sports. When you bet on sports you get paid on what the odds are at the time of the bet. For instance, if you bet on +140 (2.4) line your wager is locked in at that price. If the line closes at +120 (2.2) you still get paid at the +140 (2.4) price. However this is not the case for horse racing were you get paid what is called the ‘starting price' when the line closes. So you might get paid better or worse odds then when you placed the wager.

The consequence of getting the starting price means that you will receive the same odds the matter where you place the bet. So why play online? The answer to that is cash back and bonuses. At Pinnacle Sports you get up to 7% cash back on your racing bets. In the world of iPhones and Blackberries you can place wagers online without standing in line at the ticket window and get up to 7% cash back. So weather your at home, OTB or the track itself it makes sense to play online.

There are some online exceptions to the standard starting price lines mentioned in the previous paragraphs. In rare cases you can obtain fixed odds for horse racing; we have included one of those exceptions for your convenience in the racebook review below. Another benefit of betting online is the head to head wager on two horses.
