Virtual Horse Racing Betting Guide: All You Need To Know

Horse racing is arguably the most popular form of virtual betting and you’ll find many bookmakers across the UK offer it, with meets available to bet on every couple of minutes. 

Here at Which Bookie we love virtual horse racing so choose a bookie, claim your Free Bets and read on below to find out all you need to know about wagering on this exciting new variation of the sport…

What Is Virtual Horse Racing?

Virtual horse racing is almost exactly the same as actual horse racing but races take place using computer graphics and the latest technology instead.

Graphics and simulations these days are fantastic, delivering an experience that feels like the real thing; the only difference is that virtual horse racing uses a random number generator (RNG) to determine the winner.

This complex algorithm takes into account the odds of each horse and generates a series of numbers and outcomes which will eventually determine finishing places.

Of course, all you see is the race being run. If your horse is first past the post and you’ve backed it then you still win! 

Where Can I Bet On Virtual Horse Racing?

Most online bookmakers will offer virtual horse racing, simulating real racecourses for both jump and flat racing.

Brands such as Paddy Power and bet365 have virtual racing every few minutes for punters to enjoy. 

You’ll find dozens of great bookies here at Which Bookie and all are tried and trusted, with full reviews to be found by clicking here.

Virtual Horse Racing Betting Markets

As you’d expect, the markets available to bet on with virtual markets are exactly the same as what you can place on real horse racing.

The two markets in which you can place your bets on are:

• To Win: A bet on a horse to win the virtual race.
• Each Way: A bet on a horse to win or place.

Pros & Cons Of Virtual Horse Racing Betting

Both horse racing and virtual horse racing is available readily to bet on with bookmakers, so which is the best type to wager on?

Well, that can vary. There are pros and cons to virtual horse racing, a number of which can be found below…

Pros:

• Racing every few minutes: Virtual racing takes place every couple of minutes; there’s no need to wait for the 2.40 at Cheltenham to start.
• No postponements: No adverse conditions or other factors get in the way of a race going ahead.
• No non- runners: All horses scheduled to race will run.

Cons:

• Following tips: Squatting up by reading comprehensive tips is not as easy for virtual horse racing but that’s not to say that expert tips for simulated races aren’t available.
• Jockey’s influence: It can be hard to factor in and make wagering decisions based upon a jockey’s influence.
