Play Roulette Online

Poker Diversion

Though I’m an avid online poker player, I’ve recently made a nice discovery in the online gambling world. Actually a few new discoveries. This might be old news to you die-hard internet gamblers, but it is a new and fun discovery for me.

First off, when I’m going to bet on sporting events, I usually go to a sports book such as Sportsbook.com or Superbook.com (which, incidentally, are both operated by the same company).

Casino Games Galore

What I didn’t realize is that Sportsbook.com (and Superbook, too) offer all sorts of online casino gaming options. As I poked around the site, I ended up playing Roulette, Craps and Blackjack for hours. Time just slipped away. If you’re ever in the mood to take a break from your favorite poker games, you might want to wager on video poker… or Roulette, Craps and all the popular casino games.

One Account Unlocks All the Games

Play for real money or play for practice and wager nothing. It’s all accessible with one account. Many online gaming operators require you to open separate accounts to play their different gaming options. Not at Sportsbook.com. One account accesses ALL of them. And there are many to choose from (see below). And Sportsbook is one of the longest lasting and most respected names in the online gambling world. Your money and bets are safe at Sportsbook.com.

If you’re not sure that you want top open an account, you can still give the site a good going-over. All their games are accessible whether you’re a member or not.

Here’s what you do:

  1. Go to the main page.
  2. Look for the easy to find links to all their gaming options.
  3. Click the one you want, let’s say it’s Craps.
  4. A new window will open.
  5. You can open an account from this page, or:
  6. Look for the link under the Sign-up box (It says “Click here to play for fun”)
  7. That’s it! The game loads, and you’re off!

What to Tell the Clerk

When you’re ready to post your bet, you’ll tell the clerk 5 things:

  1. Which track
  2. Which race
  3. How much money you want to bet
  4. What kind of bet you want, i.e.: win, place, show, exacta, etc.
  5. The number of the horse.

For example, by using the criteria above, what you say to the window clerk might be: “Santa Anita, race number three, $2.00 to win on horse number seven.” Easy, huh?

Self Service Terminals *

* Also known as Screen Activated Machines, or SAMS

  1. First you need a voucher which may be purchased from any clerk or voucher machine.
  2. After you insert the voucher in the machine, the machine will ask you what track you want to bet on (Bay Meadows, Oaklawn, Santa Anita, Churchill Downs, etc.).
  3. Once you have designated the track, the machine will ask you how much you want to bet.
  4. Finally, the machine will show you a variety of wages that may be made.

If you need assistance, there are customer service representatives located in the general area of all SAMS.

Beginner’s Guide to Pari-Mutuel Wagering

Online Horse Betting at Sportsbook.com

This is the first in a three part series about the particulars of horse racing, how it works, and how to place a bet. In part 1, we’ll start with a description of what pari-mutuel wagering is, types of horse betting wagers, and where your on-track betting dollars go. In part 2, we’ll take a closer look at typical horse racing odds and their payouts, what go to tell the clerk at the window (or an online racebook) when you’re placing your bet, and some betting options such as the “screen activated machines”, or SAMS. Part three features words that you’ll hear at the track and their definition and a sample horse racing program with descriptions. After these tutorials, you should have an idea of what you need to do in order to place a bet in a horse race. Let’s get started:

PARI-MUTUEL WAGERING

Pari-mutuel wagering means, literally, a mutuel wager or “betting among ourselves”. It is similar to a stock transaction. When you buy a $2.00 ticket on a horse you are, in effect, buying one share in the horse’s performance in the race. The race track merely acts as the broker for the transaction and deducts a commission fixed by the state and shared by the state, track, and horsemen. The track’s takeout remains the same, regardless of whether a favorite or a longshot wins.

TYPES OF WAGERS

WIN

To collect, your selection must finish 1st.

PLACE

To collect, your selection must finish 1st or 2nd.

SHOW

To collect, your selection must finish 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.

DAILY DOUBLE

To collect, you must select the winners of two consecutive races.

DAILY TRIPLE

To collect, you must select the winners of three consecutive races.

EXACTA

To collect, you must pick the first two horses to finish in the exact order.

QUINELLA

To collect, you must pick the first two horses to finish, but not in the exact order.

TRIFECTA

You must pick the first three horses to finish, in the exact order they finish.

PICK SIX

Selecting the winners of the last six consecutive races. You must make your Pick 6 wager prior to the first Pick 6 race.
