Most sportsbooks, like DraftKings, BetMGM and bet365, don’t offer horse racing odds on their apps. The betting experience is very different, and the operators haven’t integrated the tech yet. FanDuel is the only sportsbook in the U.S. with its racing product right in the app, though that’s not the case in every state — New Jersey for example only has the 4NJBets app.
If you’re not in a state where you can get horse racing betting right in the app, TwinSpires is one of the premier horse betting apps in the country and it’s available in 34 states. You can sign up with this link and the promo code CTRACING to unlock a max $400 new customer offer.
Betting on the Kentucky Derby
While other sports betting odds are determined by the house or oddsmakers, horse racing odds are parimutuel — or pool betting — meaning that the odds are determined by the amount of money put on each horse.
Thus, your odds can change even after you place your bet. Odds can change up until the gates open on race day. With that in mind, your payout may change along with the odds.
