You can bet on horse races from home through an ADW (Advance Deposit Wagering) or Racebook service. Among ADWs are TwinSpires.com, YouBet, Xpressbet, and TVG. One of the best Racebooks is run by Bodog (Bodoglife).
Newcomers should set up an account with either one they think is best for them, but serious horseplayers should have an account with both an ADW and a Racebook. Racebooks offer more bonuses, and allow players to bet on almost any track, but may not have video. However, ADWs stream live video and replays of the races. ADWs may also offer a rewards program for players racking up points through every bet they make. All ADWs may not be able to let players watch and wager on every track due to exclusive arrangements made by competitors. Another thing that the most professional horseplayers should keep in mind when playing from home, is that if one service has a technical problem or the site goes offline, you'll need another option where you can place your bet. Once in a while such things happen, but when you have an account with an ADW and a Racebook, you won't have to worry about missing the opportunity to place a smart bet.
TwinSpires.com offers wagering and live video for such world-famous tracks as Churchill Downs, Gulfstream Park, Aqueduct, belmont, Saratoga, Santa Anita, Hollywood Park, and many more. TwinSpires even has Australian racing and the Dubai Racing Carnival--home of the Dubai World Cup. One of the best benefits of being a TwinSpires.com member is getting free PPs for every track you play each day. A rewards program is also part of your membership. As a TwinSpires.com member you can wager online or by phone! Depositing money to your account is easy, and so is withdrawing your winnings. Plus, the folks in customer service are always helpful--when you need something done, they'll help you take care of business. TwinSpires is currently offering new members a $100 sign-up bonus. For details: Sign-up for your FREE TwinSpires.com account here.
Bodog's racebook offers every track you could possibly want to wager on. Deposits and payouts are easy, with a very low minimum deposit required--about less than half of what ADWs ask for. Plus, as a Bodog member you can also play poker and casino games. Bodog regularly offers bonuses for your deposits. Sign-up for your FREE Bodog Racebook account here.
