If you want the excitement and thrill of horse racing, but with the convenience of being able to bet when YOU want, then virtual horse racing betting is for you.

Virtual horse racing allows you to bet on simulated horse races. The tracks are virtual, the horses are digital, but the racing feels just as real as the living thing. Like watching horse racing on TV, you'll feel the rush of adrenaline as the horses tear out of the gates, and the tension as they race neck and neck to the finish.

But the advantage of virtual sport is you don't have to wait for the day of the event, or for the horses to get lined up, and there's no waiting for the results of a photo finish. The races happen every few minutes, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and you get the results the second they end. 

Virtual horse racing betting offers ease of access and simplicity too. There's no previous form to study, no history between the rider and horse, no days since the last race, no weather conditions to consider. No reams of data to pore over. There's just the horses and the odds. And just like traditional horse racing, whilst the favourites have the best chance of winning, that's not always what happens. Sometimes the outsiders are first across the line, even the shock 100/1 longshots. 

With BetVictor, you can get in on the virtual horse racing fun. We offer you realistic races with live commentary, competitive odds, and all the betting options you'd expect from traditional horse racing. While in-play betting is not available on these races, a handful of different races are always listed in our virtual sportsbook!

Virtual horse racing with BetVictor offers you all the excitement and opportunity of traditional horse racing, but with the ease of being able to bet at a time that's convenient for you. 

There's no waiting for events to come around and for races to begin, just hop online, choose a race, and place your bet. You'll find a full range of markets and competitive virtual horse racing odds. You can bet on flat, jump, and split races. You can place bets to win, to place, to show, across the board, and more. With BetVictor, you'll find virtual horse racing is just like the real thing, but easier and more convenient.

What is Virtual Horse Racing?

As touched on already, virtual horse races are computer-generated events that occur all day, every day. This gives constant entertainment to punters, with the break between each race only lasting a few minutes. The latest technology is used to create a realistic appearance for these virtual horse races, further adding to the levels of immersion and entertainment offered to viewers.

You can find two key types of virtual horse racing at BetVictor, which are flats and jumps. These variations are both fairly straightforward, and the results of both types are generated in the same way.

Races feature between 8 and 14 runners, with each racecard providing essential information such as horse numbers, rider colours, horse names, and favouritism indicators, usually with abbreviations like F1, F2, and F3. You will also find the form of each horse in the bottom right of their associated racecard, alongside their odds to win.

How are Virtual Horse Races Determined?

The results of a virtual horse race are determined with an unbiased random number generator (RNG), ensuring complete fairness in every competition. This system eliminates any possibility of manipulation or bias to make each race truly unpredictable from start to finish.

With that being said, the odds are factored into this system, meaning that horses with lower odds have a higher chance of winning and vice versa. After each race has finished, all successful bets will have their associated potential winnings awarded immediately, and the countdown for the next event will begin!

Many of the standard horse racing betting markets are available when wagering on virtual races, too, with some of the standout options being:

Win

Just like the name suggests, this virtual horse racing bet involves placing a wager on a horse to win. This bet will only be marked as a successful one if the chosen horse finishes in first place.

Each Way

The each way bet is an extension of the win bet, allowing punters to double their stake size to cover extra positions. Should the chosen horse finish in one of the extra positions, but not win the race, the each way portion of the bet will be awarded at a percentage of the original virtual horse racing odds.

Straight Forecast

With this virtual horse racing bet, you can predict which horses will finish first and second, in the correct order. It's commonly known as an 'Exacta' bet in some regions.

Reverse Forecast

Also known as a 'Quinella' bet, this market involves picking the horses that will finish first and second in any order. To place this bet, simply make your two selections from the virtual horse betting page and click on the 'Show more' button towards the bottom of your bet slip. You can then type in your desired stake size and confirm the bet.

Trifecta

A trifecta bet is similar to an 'Exacta' bet, however, it involves picking the virtual horses that will finish first, second, and third, in the correct order.

You can also use a variety of traditional horse racing betting markets when you wager on virtual races, including the likes of accumulator bets across multiple events, or a Superfecta, where punters attempt to pick the first four horses to cross the finish line in the correct order!

In addition to betting on virtual horse racing, there are plenty of different sports to consider at BetVictor, all of which feature matches throughout the day!

• Virtual Dog Racing: Betting on virtual dog racing is similar to wagering on horses. The main differences are, of course, the visuals, alongside the number of runners in each race, with only 6 virtual dogs featuring in each race.
• Virtual Soccer: Virtual soccer betting comes with a lot more options than horse and dog racing. It features many of the same markets as traditional soccer betting, such as over/under on goals, match winner, handicap options, and much more.
• Virtual Basketball: While basketball is a fast-paced sport already, virtual matches take this to the next level, with only the highlights from each game being displayed to punters. Just like with soccer, all of the regular basketball betting options remain available, too!
