Breeders’ Cup Betting Sites and Promos

You won’t have any problems finding a place to bet on Breeders’ Cup online this year. Some sites are already accepting wagers while others will go live the day of the action. The sites that I recommend below are both 100% legal, safe and easy-to-use. All you need to do to get started is visit any of these sites and sign up for an account.

BetAmerica.com

BetAmerica has long been one of the best horse racing sites for customers in the US. This site is headquartered in the United States and licensed to offer real money wagers in most states. If you have to pick just one site for your Breeders’ Cup (BC) action, I urge you to consider BetAmerica.

There are currently two BC promos running at BetAmerica. First is the Cup Countdown. In this promo, your goal is to predict the highest payout of a specific race and/or the highest payout of a race day. The person who gets the closest will be given a BC Distaff horse to represent them on Friday’s last race of the day. If your horse wins, BetAmerica will give you a free $500 Win Bet to place however you like on the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

Here’s how to participate:

1. Visit BetAmerica.com and sign up for an account if you don’t already have one
2. Visit this page to enter your guess, real name and account name

You’ll be notified immediately after the day’s race if your guess is the closest of them all.

BetAmerica is also hosting a 2^nd chance insurance promo on October 31^st. If you place a Win Bet and your horse comes in second place on all of Friday’s races, BetAmerica will refund your wager for up to $50.

These promos at BetAmerica are all offered in addition to a 100% first deposit bonus for all new players. If you’re new to BetAmerica and make a deposit, they will match it for up to $300 in bonus cash.

TwinSpires.com

TwinSpires is another long-respected US-based horse racing site that knows how to take care of its customers. They are running a few special promos for the Breeders’ Cup as well. First of all, TwinSpires is doubling the first time deposit bonus for all new customers who sign up between now and November 1^st. Make a deposit within the next couple of days and they will match it for up to $200 extra. The normal bonus maxes out at just $100.

Next up is a 50% Distaff bonus. All you have to do is place a single Win Bet on a single horse on Friday to win the Distaff. If your horse does indeed win, TwinSpires will pay an extra 50% on your winnings. You can wager any amount you want, but the bonus only applies to the first $25 wagered.

Third is a $20,000 guaranteed handicapping tournament. You can buy in direct for $150 or win your way in through satellites for as little as $25. The big tournament is hosted on Saturday and covers 12 races. The top 11 places pay, with first place getting a cool $10,000. Visit TwinSpires.com for all the tournament rules and info.
