2012 Preakness Stakes Betting

Written by -

preakness-betting-51409With the 137th running of the storied Preakness Stakes just days away, it’s time to start thinking about which horse you are going to take with your win bet and which exotic bets you are going to set up. On top of that, some might need to start thinking about where they are going to wager on the second leg of Horse Racing’s Triple Crown. The extreme race fan will be making the trip to Baltimore, Maryland’s Pimlico Race Course to take all the action in live. While not quite as big of an event as the Kentucky Derby, the atmosphere at the Preakness makes it well worth the trip. If you won’t be making the trip to Pimlico, then I have several other options for you to consider come race day.

The Local Track – Many horse racing venues throughout the country allow you to watch and wager on the Preakness Stakes via simulcasting. This is usually a great atmosphere full of avid horse racing fanatics unable to make a lengthy trip to Baltimore. If you can’t be at THE track, getting to A track for the big race is the next best thing.

Vegas Baby – Many people will make the trip to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl or the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, but the Triple Crown Racing season is another great time to plan a vacation in Sin City. Hit the slots, the tables, the sports books, and cap it all off by picking the winner in the Preakness Stakes. The MGM Grand Sports Book and Race Book is my personal favorite. This massive 5,300 square foot gambling mecca offers Vegas’ only sky boxes. The four second-level boxes can fit eight to 10 guests and they each come equipped with plasma TVs, CD systems and surround sound audio – perfect for you and a few of your buddies.

Online Race books – The invention of the internet has afforded us the luxury of wagering in the comfort of our own homes. There are a number of quality online race books to choose from, but doesn’t it make sense to pick a book that offers great sign up bonuses.

However you choose to enjoy the 137th running of the Preakness Stakes, we wish you the best of luck with your wagers.
