Bookmakers
Horse betting online is only possible thanks to the existence of online bookmakers. There are thousands of online bookmakers that one can choose from, but they don’t all offer the same range of horse betting markets or indeed the same level of service. To help you quickly find the very best bookmakers for your horse betting online activities, this page identifies those bookmakers that have proven themselves to legal, efficient, reliable and user friendly. Bet with any of these bookmakers and you won’t be disappointed – especially if you take advantage of their generous promotions!
Horse Betting Bookmakers
Ladbrokes
Ladbrokes is a great bookmaker for anyone horse betting online. Ladbrokes offer a wide range of markets on horse racing in the UK and US as well as Virtual Racing markets. Race markets are presented with form strings for all runners, so you can use the advice we gave you in Reading Horse Racing Form to help you make your selection and then simply click on a button to place your bet. Another great feature is the summary that accompanies each race. These summaries give you an overview of the race and the runners that are likely to be worth watching.

Bet365
Bet365 offers a sleek, clean interface that makes it easy to find the horse betting online market you are most interested in. Simply click on the Horse Racing link on the left hand side of the page and you will be presented with all of the betting opportunities available. This allows you to find what you’re looking for and get straight down to business with a minimum of fuss. Like Ladbrokes, Bet365 provides race cards that include form strings, so there is no need to refer to the form printed in newspapers unless you really want to, and the odds can be shown in decimal or fractional format.

Betfred
Betfred is a famous independent bookmaker in the UK and what makes Betfred particularly famous are the free bets and special promotions that are always available here. Quite apart from the generous freebies, the Betfred site uses a multi-menu navigation system that allows you to go direct to any particular race with just one click of your mouse button, and this feature comes in very handy when you need to get a bet on quickly. Another nice touch is the fact that previous odds are shown as well as the current odds, so you can see if the price of any horse is contracting or drifting.

Betfair
Betfair is the biggest online betting community in the world. Although it is technically a betting exchange rather than a bookmaker, you can place bets just as you would at a bookmaker’s site. Because Betfair is an exchange, you will find a wider range of horse betting opportunities here, including the ability to bet in running (that is, as the race is being run) and the ability to ‘lay’ horses that you believe will lose. In other words, if you don’t feel confident picking winners, you can have a go at making money by picking losers instead!
