Horse racing is one of the world\u2019s oldest sports to wager on. The thrill of watching the ponies is contagious, and punters regularly identify the biggest races during the year. Bettors also have daily horse races to wager on at tracks around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, \u201creal\u201d horse racing isn\u2019t the only betting on the ponies punters can do daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual horse racing enables punters to wager on horse racing daily<\/strong> from anywhere as long as they have an Internet connection. So, what is virtual horsing racing, and how does it work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Virtual Horse Racing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Virtual horse racing is incredibly popular with sports bettors. Nearly every major online sportsbook<\/a> offers virtual horse racing as part of their virtual sports markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual horse racing is simply a simulated, computerised version of horse racing. It provides punters with an alternative to traditional racing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The glorious aspect of virtual horse racing is that the races take place every few minutes<\/strong>. You don\u2019t have to wait for racetracks to prepare the horses at the gates and clear the course after events.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You simply need to open the virtual sports markets at your favourite online sportsbook and explore the different virtual races. Once one race ends, the next will begin shortly after that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual racing is fast, fun, and engaging<\/strong>. These three aspects have made it popular with punters and led to more sports being available to wager on digitally.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an entire suite of online virtual sports to bet on, from horse racing to football to rugby. These sports have a large following thanks to the excitement they offer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does Virtual Horse Racing Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Betting on virtual horse racing is very similar to traditional horse racing. Once you open the virtual markets, you will find a variety of races taking place throughout the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great thing about virtual racing is the number of events. Since the races are conducted virtually, events take place throughout the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the racecourses used by sportsbooks are now well-known amongst virtual bettors. The likes of Festival Downs and Victoria Park are considered some of the top tracks for virtual horse races. Virtual races move around to different racecourses daily to give the events a real-life feel<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The virtual races begin every few minutes. Most sportsbooks have two-minute breaks between the events. However, some sportsbooks may have longer gaps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like traditional horse racing, you can bet on flat races or jumps events. Jumps horse races are slightly longer in duration. Betting on jumps has a little more risk than flats races, as horses can stumble and fall during the event, just like in real racing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sportsbooks provide virtual horse races to all punters at the same time. You won\u2019t be the only punter betting on a virtual race. Horse virtual games could have hundreds or thousands of bettors wagering on them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A list of horses will be available to explore. You won\u2019t have a form card or results from previous races. You may see the same names pop up from time to time, and prices will likely change on the horses from race to race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you find the virtual racing horse you want to wager on, you can add it to your betting slip. You will bet on the horse just like wagering at a traditional event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your virtual horse comes in, your winnings will be added to your account after the race. You can watch the race unfold on the sportsbook’s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
