Horse Racing

[cobalt007]

Horse racing has proved to be a class of racing sport where gambling and betting is done on a wide scale. I think it is one of the highest betting games in the world.

gambling - legal or illegal in horse racing??? I really dont have clue

Gambling is legal in horse racing in fact many tracks allow you to bet right there on the races. I am not sure that it is something I would be willing to take a risk at because of the odds.

It depends, I believe it is allowed in the USA, as I saw it on so many movies, and it's allowed in most of the countries, but it is not as practiced as in the USA

Yes in the USA is common to be able to place a bet before a race. In fact I would be surprised it a track did not have a place for betting.

In my opinion, horseracing is a form of high class gambling. Celebrities and high class people can go there and place their bets without hurting their image.

Most countries have legalised horse racing which a major component of it is of course gambling - the stakes are high and the atmosphere is electrifying at the tracks.

In order to make it more classy, they wear monocles and and eat crumpets. I don't know that it is much more classy than that though. I heard that at the Kentucky Derby, they only show the grandstand, because on the infield, all the drunk idiots can be found. Being just as loud and obnoxious as any sport.
