Assessing Picklebet's Racing Markets

Online bookmaker Picklebet has a great range of punting options for racing fans, and as a registered customer, you can see all of their unique racing promotions. Having originally started as an esports bookmaker, Picklebet had no option for racing fans for quite some time. But they slowly introduced sports markets, and then racing markets, and since then, racing has become a strong focus for the newly formed betting site.

Picklebet covers all three codes of racing - gallops, harness and greyhounds. They have betting options for all Australian TAB meetings, as well as international racing for all three codes across New Zealand, Asia, Europe and the US. Below is a breakdown of the racing markets you can find on picklebet.com.au and the Picklebet app

Picklebet features extensive horse racing markets, covering all Australian TAB meetings and a wide range of international racing events. This includes racing in places such as New Zealand, the United States, Europe, and Asia, giving punters a broad selection of thoroughbred races to wager on.

In addition to horse racing, Picklebet offers markets for Australian and international harness racing. Punters who are keen to get an early start to the day can bet on US harness racing from Yonkers, Hosier Park and Meadowlands before diving into Australian and New Zealand harness racing throughout the day. There is no shortage of European harness racing coverage for those who prefer to bet later at night. 

For fans of greyhound racing, Picklebet provides betting markets for all Australian TAB greyhound meetings as well as New Zealand and European greyhound racing events. 

Most Australian betting sites offer international racing these days, but some do it better than others with the options available. At Picklebet, you will find international racing markets for some of the most popular betting venues in the world. 

When looking to place a racing bet at Picklebet, there are a few filter options that will make the process much quicker. The desktop site and app default to ‘Next to Jump’ and will show upcoming races in order of jump time. You can toggle from Next to Jump to ‘Today,’ Tomorrow,’ and the following two days. Users can also filter by racing code meaning you can show only gallops, only harness, only greyhounds or a mixture of any combination you want. There is also a filter for Australian and International events. Once you have sorted your preferences, you can follow these steps to place a racing bet:

Traditionally, racing punters had the option to bet on Win and Place Markets, where the Place covers the top three finishers. However, at Picklebet, users have the option to back a runner to finish in the top 4 with Picklebet Top 4 Betting. The odds will be less than the traditional three place option, but the chances of winning are greater when you have the extra placing to fill. 

As with most bookmakers, there is an option to place a Same Race Multi at Picklebet. This is easy to find within any market as there is a SRM tab in the menu bar of each race. Same Race Multis give punters the chance to select individual runners to finish First, Top 2, Top 3 or Top 4 in the same race.
