THE KENTUCKY DERBY IS FINALLY HERE! GET EXCTIED FOR THE FASTEST 2 MINUTES IN SPORTS THIS SATURDAY!!

My buddies and I always try to make it out to a game, but we never really care which one we end up at provided we can bet on it. Obviously we have our favorite sports and teams, but it was rarely about what game we went to or who we saw playing. It was about watching the game live and having something on the line.

We decided to see if there were new events going on and came across horse racing. Yes, horse racing. It was perfect–short, fast-paced, and most importantly, an opportunity for betting.

I had never really considered watching a horse race any time other than the Triple Crown races, but the prospects of the sport seemed exhilarating.

One quick Google search later, we came across TVG, powered by FanDuel. It’s an online betting platform that takes you right to the heart of the action. We were a little apprehensive about using a mobile app to place our bets, but TVG’s ability to bet on live horse races from all over the world was too good to pass up.

Here are 5 reasons why we are obsessed with horse racing thanks to TVG:

1. Betting has never been easier

Use your phone or computer to watch and bet on live horse races in real-time. TVG offers a bunch of features to make betting even simpler–live odds and handicapping tips leverage recent learnings to help you make your best bet. Not to mention, TVG’s exclusive race content and wagering guide offers an under-the-hood look into the strategy behind horse race betting.

2. The biggest selection of horse races out there

If you’re looking to drop a little dough on a horse race, chances are your best option is your local race track. But watching the same few horses races over and over again isn’t the most exciting thing. With TVG you have access to over 150 tracks worldwide with races happening consistently throughout the day.

3. Get a generous sign-up offer when you place your first bet

Once you register your account, you will be eligible for a $200 risk-free bet. All you have to do is place your first bet on a horse to win and you’re covered. If you happen to lose, TVG will insure you for up to $200 as a sort of wagering credit. I may have been a little trigger happy when placing my first bet, so having this insurance was a great perk. There are also a bunch of promotional offers available year-round.

4. Making deposits and cashing out at the touch of button

With a ton of payment options such as PayPal, BetCash, debit/credit, wire transfers, and other third-party services, making a deposit is a breeze. But what about the payout? Depending on your deposit method, your withdrawal will be available in a few days. No more waiting in-line to collect your winnings!

5. Watching live races with your friends while betting is exhilarating

With TVG, we haven’t had this sort of fun in months! Every weekend we’ll turn on a race and throw our bets in. After a few races, and quite a few drinks, we’ll tally up our winnings to see who won the most! Sometimes it’s not even about making money, but just having a good time.

TVG is the perfect way to add a little excitement to an otherwise mundane afternoon. It introduced me to the world of horse racing, a sport I never would have considered otherwise.

The races just keep ramping up and thanks to TVG, I can always get in on the fun.

UPDATE: The biggest derby in horse racing is THIS WEEKEND. Get in on the action with your $200 risk-free bet!
