Your right, they don’t have horse betting. I thought they did, too. As friendly as the UK is to casinos this one sport wagering may be prohibited. I guess we’ll both have to wait for a responce.
Hi,
Horse racing will be on Canbet most probably by the end of the year. Sorry I don’t have an exact date and all I know is that development has started.
IASbet (http://www.iasbet.com) offers Australian, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore horse racing and Australian harness and greyhound racing.
IASbet has it’s own affiliate program. Signup here: http://www.iasbet.com/site/affiliate/signup.htmIASbet Canbet are both owned by the International All Sports Group,which has a very long history in horse racing.
Best regards

:hehe:After Henry’s post that became quite obvious. But, thanks for just jumping in there to point it out incase I was too dense to figure it out.
no problem.
Horse racing has been the bred and butter for bookies for ages – almost 90% of turnover was horse based – and it’s only in the last 20-30 years that sports betting has really been allowed.
Sure, the UK Pools have been around for a while – but the fear of potential match fixing meant that singles bets on non-televsied games was not normal as late as the 1980’s.
Gradually the restrictions were relaxed – as offshore bookeis offered single odds anyway and UK bookeis needed to compete.
Now it turned full circle and horse racing is under the microscope. With the advent of Betting Exchanges – allowing people to place LAY bets on horses (effectively betting that a horse will NOT win) – it’s the horse racing section that is under the microscope whenever a short odds favourite fails badly.
I think that sports betting is about 30%-35% of total turnover now in the UK – horses still own the larger share of the pot.
Your a good man Gooner, if I ever need information on the ponies I know who to ask.
Trouble is that’s were my expertise stops – in how the business works and is structured …
as far as personal punts – it’s sports gambling for me – not horses …
As I said to Nick – the only thing I’ve noticed about horses is that the good horses all seem to have four legs – one in each corner.
:satisfiedLOL, I only know one end from the other myself.
