What are good odds in horse racing?
Traditionally odds is a measure of the likelihood OS something occurring. However in horse racing it measures what your payoff will be if your bet wins. Fractional odds are what most of us are familiar with. If a horse is quoted at 4/1 then for every dollar you bet you win four dollars. Decimal odds indicate what your payoff will be if your bet wins, including your bet. For example if a horse is quoted at 5.00 then you will be paid five dollars for every dollar bet. In decimal odds, a price of 5.00 is the same as the fractional odds of 4/1. Moneyline odds indicate what your payoff will be in relation to a $100 bet. For example if the odds are 4/1 then the moneyline odds will be displayed as $400. If the odds are 1/4 then the moneyline odds will be displayed as negative $400. Fractional odds 4/1 = Decimal odds 5.00 = Moneyline odds $400 Fractional odds 1/4 = Decimal odds 1.25 = Moneyline ofdds -$400

What is the list of British horse racing odds?
There is no "official' list of odds anywhere. At each track the handicapper(s) take their best guess and these are the odds printed in the program. But the betters set the real odds with their bets. The more money bet on a horse, the shorter the odds. Basically, at the track, all the money bet goes into a pool. The taxman and the track take their cut and what is left is the money that can be won. There is a sum of money (a pool) for first, a pool for second and a pool for third. A bet for second pays if the horse comes first or second. A bet for third pays if the horse finishes first or second or third. Bets with off track bookies are different. You are quoted odds at the time you place your bet and regardless of what else happens, if you win, you get paid at those odds.

What is the definition of what are the odds?
The Chances. Ex: What are the Chances that I will be rich tomorrow? The odds are most likely to be high, if I have no plan to get there. That's pretty much what odds mean. ** this originates from gambling...especially gambling on horses (though the same practices apply to other kinds of racing betting and also betting on sporting events, I believe....and possibly roulette, though those are fixed odds). Before a horse race when people are placing bets, the different horses in the race will have different 'odds' -- the amount of pay off a bettor will get if his chosen horse wins...horses likely to win are those good to bet on due to the probability of them finishing first (or placing if that is what you are betting on) but have lower odds -- for example, a horse with a very good record might have odds of 1 to 1 or 2 to 1 (i think that's right) which means that if you bet a dollar and the horse won, you would get what you bet or get twice what you be (so you would end with 2 or 3 dollars). The odds are much greater on horses unlikely to win...so if they DO somehow cross the finish line first you will get a huge payoff (sometimes 100 or 1000 to one)...but the probability of winning that money is very low. "Long odds". A slim chance. Therefore, 'what are the odds' is reference to a gambler asking a bookie what kind of payoff a certain racer has, to try and figure out how much to bet, how much they might win, and if it's a good bet to make.

You would really like to do barrel racing?
Start off with barrel racing lessons first if possible. If not possible, the second best thing would be to get some videos and books and study up on it. Then if you decide you really like it, try to get your hands on an older horse experienced in barrel racing. Depending on your previous riding experience would determine just how old he should be. for a beginer rider, you want to look into 10 year olds or older but if you have alot of riding experience, you could go for a horse closer to 5.
Where horse racing is most popular in the world and how?
No , auto racing and soccer are the most attended sports world wide. Actually, there are no official statistics for the global attendance of horse racing. However, there is a very strong case to be made that horse racing is, indeed, the most attended sport in the world. Horse racing is very popular across 6 continents and routinely ranks among the most popular sports in those countries where statistics are compiled. In addition to the many large horse racing venues located in/near the world's major cities there is an uncounted universe of smaller tracks serving towns and villages across the globe. Horse racing gains a particular attendance advantage over other sports due to two major factors. Firstly, the legal gambling aspect attracts many people and the betting activity conveniently takes place within the racing facility. Secondly, unlike most other sports, in most countries horse racing knows no off-season. Wherever you are in the world, winter, spring, summer or fall, a horse race is likely within a reasonable driving distance.
