It can be quite difficult to get into horse racing if you don't know too much about the sport. The markets for horse racing are quite different from many other sports, and things can get confusing if it's your first time. However, our guide should help you get into Dubai horse racing quite easily.

If you're interested in betting on horse racing, then this event is a great place to start. So, below, we'll be covering some Meydan horse racing tips, and provide you with some more information about the event and how to go about betting on it.

What Is The Dubai World Cup?

Horse races are held at Meydan Racecourse from the end of October until the end of March. From January to March the ten races held at the course are part of the Dubai World Cup event, and the last day of the event is known as Dubai World Cup Night.

This final event is the most valuable race day in the world as the prize money fund totals $30 million. Now that you know a little more about the event, we'll tell you how you can bet on it in the section below.

This event started in 2010, and some of the most recent winners include Ushba Tesoro, Country Grammer, and Mystic Guide.

Dubai World Cup Betting Tips

Making your picks for World Cup Night doesn't need to be difficult. Once you choose the races that you want to bet on, you can follow our Meydan racing tips to help make your pick.

1. Do some research on the form of your pick

If you only decide to bet on World Cup Night, then it will be much easier to make your picks. This is because you'll be able to see how all of the horses have faired over the course of the World Cup before you make your first bet.

Instead of just looking at the results of each race, you should try and watch each race over. This will allow you to see how the horses actually perform on the track, and it will also allow you to hear what the commentators have to say. They can sometimes provide insightful information that can help you later.

2. Consider what the pundits are saying

Unfortunately, you can't just base your qualifying bet on form alone, and expect to be successful when betting. If you are new to betting on horse racing, then it is unlikely that you will know exactly what to look out for before making your pick.

Thankfully, you don't need to know exactly what to look out for, as you have access to a wide range of pundits, journalists, and racing tipsters who can provide you with the information you need to make the right pick.

Dubai World Cup Betting Markets

There are many different markets for you to bet on at the World Cup, but not all of them are suited for beginners. Below, we will cover some of the main betting markets for both the World Cup and horse racing in general.

Win-only

This market is the easiest to bet on as it is very straightforward, which is why it is the easiest for beginners to get into. In the win-only market, all you need to do is choose the horse that you think will win.

So, after doing some research, it shouldn't be too hard for you to make your pick and place your first bet.

Each-way

If you are more of a casual bettor, then each-way bets are great, as it can be difficult to pick a winner with so many horses running. Each-way bets are safer than win-only bets, if your horse doesn't win in a win-only bet, your bet loses.

However, with an each-way bet, your horse can either win or finish on the podium for you to win your bet.

Place-only

Place-only bets work similarly to each-way bets, but they can be adjusted. For example, you can bet on a horse to come somewhere in the top four positions or the top two positions.

Forecasts/tricasts

Forecasts are more for advanced bettors, as with a forecast bet you must predict which horses will finish first and second in the correct order. If either of these predictions is incorrect your bet will lose. Tricasts work in the same way, but you need to bet on which horses you think will finish first, second, and third.

Betting without favourite

The betting without favourite market requires you to bet on a horse that you think will either beat the favourite to win or place second. If either of these outcomes takes place, you will win your bet.

Head-to-head

Head-to-head betting is a simple market. All you need to do is choose one horse to place ahead of another, and if that happens you will win your bet.

Top jockey/top trainer bets

Both top jockey and top trainer bets work similarly. These markets require you to bet on the jockey that you think will ride the most winning horses at an event or the trainer that has trained the most winning horses at an event.

FAQs

What is the best bet to place in horse racing?

Accumulators offer the highest payouts among horse bets. However, since an accumulator bet requires all of your horse racing selections to win (or place if each way), the chances of winning are lower. Nevertheless, the higher odds associated with accumulators result in the highest potential returns.
