Places to Bet on 2017 Kentucky Derby Online

Well, it’s not the NFL but betting on the Kentucky Derby this Saturday may be just as exciting if you know what you are doing. For those of you that don’t know the difference between a pony and a racing horse do not fret. Horse betting is not much different than wagering on football.

As many of you have become accustomed to betting on the NFL online already over the past few years you may be thinking betting on horses, the Kentucky Derby in particular, is difficult. Incorrect. Betting on the Kentucky Derby online and other horse races is pretty simple. Allow us to explain further.

How to Bet on Kentucky Derby Online for 2017

First, in order to bet on the Kentucky Derby online you need a betting account at a sportsbook site. Just like with the NFL, choosing an online sportsbook requires little research, and mostly gut instinct. There are a few sportsbooks out there that accept US players but there are only three that make our cut. MyBookie, Bovada, and BetOnline are the top three wagering sites for the Triple Crown. By the way, the Triple Crown is a collection of horse races starting with the Kentucky Derby, followed by the Preakness Stakes, and then concluding with the Belmont Stakes.

If you are looking for specific reviews of online racebooks (the term used for horse betting sites as oppose to sportsbooks) then we recommend KDOB for Kentucky Derby betting online for the 143rd running of the first leg of the Triple Crown. At this site you will see the different types or rebates offered on your bets, in addition to current Kentucky Derby betting favorites and complete odds for every horse racing in the Derby.

In summary, the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 6th, 2017 offers the same excitement as most NFL Sundays. There is a reason why they call the Derby “the most exciting 2 minutes in sports” and that’s because the whole country takes a pause to watch this race either on TV or in person at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
