Betting on Horses Online - Emerald Isle

[Shame About Ray]

Sometimes horse bettors have to shake things up and go away from a routine and one way to do that is to get a fresh look at an entirely new venue and start betting on a different track.

The reality is that sometimes the day in and day out action at places like Belmont Park and Hollywood Park become stagnant. Maybe a certain bias is intact for weeks on end and it looks like each race is a parade or maybe a small group of riders or trainers are controlling everything.

Those searching for a super equine outlet will love the betting opportunities and the racing at Emerald Downs in Auburn, Washington.

Barely over a dozen years old, Emerald Downs offers players some outstanding situations that cagey horse bettors can take advantage of on a daily basis.

The oval is a flat mile; there are ‘rolling’ Pick Threes and Superfectas on every race with 8 or more entered and the takeout is 16.5% on straight bets and 22.1% on exotic shots.

Speed is dangerous at every track on every day throughout the country and the best horse bettors know that it can be very difficult to come from the clouds at Emerald.

If a runner doesn’t have at least tactical speed, that runner is usually behind the 8 ball turning from home.

The best players around also pay strict attention to the top pilots and who is giving them the hot mounts.
