Is horse racing betting legal in wyoming?

Question

Wyoming is the place which is highly hostile to gamblers, I have a friend who earns his bread n butter through horse racing betting and resides in wyoming. It is a surproising thing for me, I would like to know, is horse racing betting legal in wyoming? Please specify.

Answer 1

Racetracks are the major form of legal gambling in Wyoming. Horse and dog races are legal, as are nearly all forms of races. Bets must be parimutuel, which means that the payout and odds are determined by the relative amount of money wagered on racers. If 93 percent of wagers are on horse 1 and 7 percent on horse 2, and horse 1 wins, the winners will split up the losers' 7 percent relative to their bets. Off-track betting is legal, so you don't have to be at the racetrack to wager.
