How do you bet on horse races?

Question

I've wanted to do it since I was about 15....I have no idea WHY,ok?

It sounds like fun, but, how do you do it?

Anyone who has done this before and can help me, your answers will be enjoyed, because I want to bet on my birthday for fun.

(I'm not going to spend a lot of money:)

Answer 1

It is fun! I couldn't wait for the day I could bet! You can go to a track or to Off Track Betting or OTB. When you go to the window you have to say your bet. Like let's say I live near Charles Town Race Track and I'm there for race 5. I happen to be in love with the grey horse, number 7, who has a preety good track history. I think this horse could win, place (2nd) or show (3rd) and I only have $15.00 left in my pocket. I would walk to the window and say " Charles Town, Race 5. $5 across ( or win place show) number 7 ( or "on the 7")."

It sounds really hard to do, and the first time I was so scared I was going to mess up and charge all this money I dont have, but it went fine. If you need anymore help, email me through yahoo. I'd love to help.

And, good luck cause your gonna need it!

Go to the track and simply place a bet at the windows. If you didn't want to actually go to the track you can always find a bookie I guess.
