Betting trends forecasted by gambling authority for the Kentucky Derby
# May 3, 2024: Kentucky Derby Countdown 🎉
The pulse of horse racing enthusiasts is racing high as the famed Kentucky Derby is back! Here are the latest top sports headlines on Foxnews.com.
For the typical punter, the first Saturday in May is about as close as it gets to the Super Bowl. The race that captivates even the most casual sports fan is here: the Kentucky Derby.
As DraftKings oddsmaker Johnny Avello highlighted in a recent interview with our website Digital, this annual event garners more media attention and hype than any other horse race [1].
It's no wonder that the Kentucky Derby is the most-watched and most-bet horse race, year after year [2].
That said, it's not just the favorites that will attract big money. Bettors often look for longer shot horses with better value [1]. The possibility of scoring a massive win by predicting the right longshot is tantalizing [1].
In fact, Avello asserted that irregular bettors will focus on exactas, trifectas, and superfectas in an attempt to strike it rich [1].
For those who prefer traditional wagers, the win, place, and show bets usually pay off decently [1].
Take note that while it's challenging to become wealthy from a small wager on the favorite, the lure of striking it big and watching a longshot cross the finish line has a certain allure [1].
To boost the excitement, DraftKings is offering new users the opportunity to place their first $5 bet on the winner of the Derby, and if their selection wins, they'll share in a $1 million pot with others who placed the same bet [1].
As the race-day approaches, the excitement builds, and so does the anticipation for the big payday. Stay tuned for more coverage, strategies, and predictions from our website Digital. 🚀
