Within minutes of the Belmont Stakes contenders being announced, online sportsbooks that feature 7% rebates and matching deposit bonuses released odds.
Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) June 9, 2005 -- Today's online sportsbooks often feature 7% rebates and top cash bonuses, not to mention complete horse racing software platforms that were hard to come by even as recently as last year.
Sports911.com does not anticipate heavy traffic compared to the two previous Triple Crown races as a result of minimized exposure. Nevertheless, this does not mean that the Belmont Stakes will fail to entice hundreds and thousands of gamblers worldwide.
www.pinnaclesports.com, which offers a 7% rebate, listed odds at -118 for Afleet Alex and Giacomo at +389 (meaning a $100 winning bet pays $389). South Africa, a long shot, pays $1,248 for every $100 bet. Nolan's Cat is listed at +6049. Remember, Giacomo was nearly a 50 to 1 long shot when he won the Kentucky Derby.
Many online racebooks also feature odds on horse matchups. www.mvpracebook.com is one such book and they are currently offering a one time matching bonus on customers initial deposits up to $200 (i.e. deposit $200 and receive free cash of $200 on top of that). This promo ends just prior to the start of the Belmont Stakes race. MVP Racebook and its affiliated MVP Sportsbook will be celebrating its second year with Sports911 next month.
Other matchup odds currently offered include Afleet Alex -260 vs. Giacomo +210 at www.mybookie.com.
Even odds can be found at www.bodog.com for Afleet Alex. Bodog.com pays 1/1 for the Preakness winner. Giacomo pays 7 to 2. Nolan's Cat pays 50 to 1.
Nolan's Cat has finished second three times and third once, and was recently beaten a half-length by the D. Wayne Lukas-trained A.P. Arrow, who also has designs on the 1 1/2-mile Belmont Stakes, according to a report filed by Steve Haskin of Bloodhorse.com.
Southern Africa, with 12 to 1 odds at Bodog.com, won the Grade 3 Lone Star Derby - and it has a combined record of 16 wins from 54 starts. The field looks to be the weakest since Commendable won in 2000 without the Derby or Preakness winner in the race.
Sports911.com suggests placing wagers at more than one online racebook and doing so several hours prior to post time to avoid crunch periods.
