Royal Ascot

One of the largest horse racing events of the year is Royal Ascot. Royal Ascot is held in the middle of June and although not quite as popular as The National, it is taken almost as seriously and is considered one of the most significant races of the horse racing season.

There are a great number of betting options and choices when betting on the races at Royal Ascot as it offers 30 races, and all are well contested by major UK and overseas horses.

The main Royal Ascot races include the St. James Palace Stages and Queen Anne Stages on the first day. The next day includes the Prince of Wales Stakes and the Royal Hunt Cup. The third day offers the Ascot Gold Cup. And finally day 4 includes the Coronation Stakes and the running of the Golden Jubilee Stakes.

For those poor souls who are stuck in the office during these exciting races in June – there are still options available to place your bets on the races, even while your stuck somewhere other than the track. As long as you have access to a computer – you can take advantage of these great new online services that most bookmakers now offer.

Most of the leading bookmakers offer excellent coverage of Royal Ascot betting markets. Online bookmakers offer free bets for new customers who join their service, so keep this in mind when you are considering which bookmaker to go with to bet on horses. Many of the online bookmakers also offer Live Horse Racing on your PC which will allow you to review Royal Ascot races if you’re stuck at work.

Keep in mind that there are a number of charts online that offer odds comparison pricing from various leading bookmakers. Odds comparison charts are available for all of the leading races at Royal Ascot. These comparison charts will allow you to get the best price on offer from the top sportsbook sites, which is why I recommend that you never just stick with one bookmaker. Once you find the price that you like, in most cases you can simply go to the bookmaker site, open an account, and as a new customer – place your free bets!

The tote is an interesting method of placing bets. It is basically the accumulation of all of the stakes on a race, and the returns are divided out to all of the winners. Many people have likely placed totepool bets at the races; most online bookmakers now offer totepool bets online. This style of betting will be very popular during the Royal Ascot since the totejackpot will often rise to significant sums over the 5 days the festival runs.

While you can relax in your office and place online bets for Royal Ascot – you can also not place totepool bets, which increases your potential profit substantially, and you don’t even have to be at the races.
