American Triple Crown Betting
The American Triple Crown of thoroughbred racing is the highlight of the first half of the American flat racing season. Each of the races attracts tens of thousands of spectators, with millions more around the world watching these three races on the television and internet.
The quality of the racehorses entered in the American Triple Crown, as well as the high level of media exposure enjoyed by these races, ensure that punters can benefit from large betting pools at totes in addition to excellent antepost coverage of each race.
Punters bet on the American Triple Crown using the following betting options:
Pool Betting
Parimutuel betting is the main horse racing betting format in the United States, with state regulated totes opening betting markets for each of the American Triple Crown races. These betting pools can reach massive proportions and thus ensure impressive payouts for punters who place smart bets on this series of races.
Punters in the United Kingdom and Europe can access betting pools for the American Triple Crown races by visiting online totes like Totesport, that provide the facilities to invest in pool betting on these events.
Fixed Odds Betting
Bookmakers around the world offer fixed odds on the American Triple Crown races. Racing fans in the United States can access fixed odds markets via online bookmakers like Bodog, whilst punters in the UK and Europe have access to a large variety of antepost fixed odds betting markets.
Antepost betting markets for the American Triple Crown are available months in advance of the commencement of this racing series. Odds comparison services can be a useful tool in tracking down the best prices for the entries to the American Triple Crown races, particularly towards the end of the racing series when finding value in the American Triple Crown betting markets can be challenging.
Lay Betting
Lay betting is becoming an increasingly popular American Triple Crown betting option. Online betting exchanges like Betfair and WBX allow racing enthusiasts to bet against America’s top thoroughbreds winning any of the American Triple Crown races. This option can be particularly lucrative when top performers are short priced in American Triple Crown races, allowing punters to generate large payouts with small stakes if these horses do lose their races.
Many punters also use the lay betting markets to fix their odds, backing selections that they layed earlier in the season if these selections’ odds drift in the antepost betting markets for the American Triple Crown races.
