Horse race betting is as old as the sport or horse racing itself, in fact the sport was invented when two rival nobleman would test their thoroughbred horses by racing between counties, the winner would then receive the losers horse. Eventually this became a popular form of wagering for those not involved in the race and thus they bet with other things and so the sport of horse racing, and horse race betting came about.

Horse race betting goes back well over two hundred years with the running of the first ever Melbourne Cup taking place in 1860 – a horse called Archer won the race and then proved it was no fluke by winning the Melbourne Cup for the second consecutive time in 1861.
