Historical Horse Races in England

Bettor, horse riding enthusiast or simple spectator, attend the most exceptional horse races in the country.

Situated less than 30 km from Charing Cross, the charming town of Epsom in Surrey is known throughout the world for its horse races. Twinned for this reason with Chantilly in France, Epsom perpetuates the long tradition of classic flat races: the Derby and the Oaks for more than two hundred years. Whether you attend as a curious person, a player or a professional, the prestigious horse races offer a unique experience. Mixing popular culture and great social events, the racecourses also provide a real spectacle in the stands where you never tire of watching the famous colorful hats or outdated costumes. It is a perfect illustration of English eccentricity, between tradition and extravagance. Thus, every year in June, since 1780, the Epsom Derby is an appointment not to be missed.

A little further west, and therefore closer to Windsor Castle, but still a few dozen kilometers from London, the Ascot racecourse in Berkshire hosts the very chic royal meeting traditionally attended by Queen Elizabeth. It is a real event, five days of festivities and very high quality races. Combining fashion and tradition, it is the absolute must for horse racing enthusiasts and the curious from all over the world. A unique experience!

How to bet well

To oversimplify, we can say that the odds reflect the interest of Turfists for a starter. The higher the odds of a starter, the less likely the bettors think that he has a good chance of being in a good position at the finish and vice versa. This is a very important element for the Turfists, and understanding the odds of a starter is essential. Many questions may arise as to its integration in the construction of a PMU prognosis and the decisive influence it can have on whether or not a horse bet is taken.

Initially, when horse betting was mutualised, there were only two types of bets which consisted of predicting the winner of the race or the first two horses in the race. Bookmakers offer different types of bets, such as tierce bets, which avoids weariness. The analysis of the different types of bets offered by bookmakers makes it possible to highlight the most profitable types of bets according to the race conditions.

Every turf player should know the advantages and disadvantages of each type of bet in order to make the right choice according to his prognosis and the odds of the starters.
