I guess you could say horse race betting runs in my family, because I can quite clearly remember visiting the local betting tab with my father just about every Saturday morning, sometimes with my uncle tagging along whenever he was a round and my mom knew not to prepare lunch for us because we’d be gone for practically the whole day.

That specific horse race betting tab was located right on the premises of a race course, so we’d in effect buy some wager tickets (I was even sometimes roped in to pick a lucky number or a lucky horse) and then also catch the racing action live. It was the best – I always used to look forward to the ground-beef hotdogs that were on sale and the juice man knew me by name, sometimes offering me two bottles of juice for the price of one since I was such a “regular” customer.

So that whole experience stuck with me throughout my early adult life and to this day visiting the fair greens of the local race course for some betting and live action forms part of what I’d call my tradition.

This tradition is so deeply entrenched that I feel like something is missing whenever we’re away with my girlfriend – something we do quite a lot recently (going away) since she fell head-over-heels in love with glamping.

I miss the smell of the ink on the freshly-printed wager tickets that get handed to me whenever I give the betting window a simple tap to indicate that I need my betting fix and I’ll tell you those ground beef sausage hotdogs never get old.

This was all up until recently however because now I’ve found a great way to bring the horses along with me on any getaway, so to say. Thanks to the likes of the William Hill online betting platform, everything horse betting should be is available at the click of a mouse-button, or rather at a few taps of the smartphone or tablet PC screen!

I’ll even go as far as saying doing it online is a bit more convenient than actually heading down to the betting tab and having to fill out the wager sheets with your pencil.

Horse race betting online in this way means you can spend a lot less time putting down wagers and a lot more time actually enjoying the action, with a lot of interactive features available through the platform, like on-tap odds analysis information as well as some statistics which can be customized to display in whichever way that suits you best.

Above all else, however, click around a bit, and you can be in to watch some live horse racing action, which will have you feeling like you’re right there at the horse racing venue.

Services such as live horse race updates, odds analysis, and winning statistics can be delivered to you by a bookmaker using bookie software similar to BossAction, where they can customize what features they want to provide their customers. You can look for a bookmaker who might employ advanced tools to equip their bettors with premium facilities and betting app features.

The options by way of sporting codes to bet on are aplenty, but I chose to focus on horse racing because that’s what I’m personally into and just to demonstrate just how easily I can bring the horse racing action along with me on every next getaway.
