BodogPoker Takes Bets on Preakness

May 19, 2008

As many of you know BodogPoker.com is a huge online poker room, especially in the USA market. What most people don’t know however, is that Bodog actually does much more than just run an online poker room. While on their site recently I saw tabs for Bodog Casino, Bodog Sports, and Bodog Racebook. Wondering what these were, I clicked on them to check them out. What I found was pretty cool.

Besides just poker, you can also play in a virtual online casino, place bets on every major sports game, and place bets on all of the major horse races all across the world. Plus, you can do all of this from one account, so you don’t have to have accounts for the four different methods of gambling. This is a great method for poker players who also like to do a little gambling on the side, because you don’t have to go and download another program at a different site - you can do it right from Bodog.

After I found the Bodog Racebook, I decided to check out what tracks they took bets on. When I clicked on the link, there was a big promotion for the upcoming Preakness, so I decided to try it out. After logging into my poker account, I was able to use funds right from my poker account to place my bet on Big Brown at the Preakness. Although the odds were only 1:2, I placed $500 on him, and it ended up working out for me as he won the race Saturday. He really looks like a Triple Crown threat - all that stands in his way is the upcoming Belmont race.
