The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports is back this weekend with the 147th installment of the Kentucky Derby, the first race in the coveted triple crown series.
Betting on horse racing has long been acceptable at Churchill Downs and other racetracks worldwide, but today online horse betting has turned into the go-to spot for most professional horse race bettors. With parlays, prop builders, futures, and more options, there are multiple ways to bet on the Kentucky Derby and hopefully win some cash.
In the Philippines, gambling laws allow for online betting as long as the racebook is not stationed in the Philippines. Even though the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) issues Philippine offshore gaming operating (POGO) licenses, those sites can only offer sports betting outside of the Philippines. However, offshore betting sites located outside of the Philippines can accept wager all day and night from Filipinos.
PH residents can also bet on the Derby at local sportsbooks, including MegaSportsWorld (MSW), because the Derby takes place outside of the Philippines. MegaSportsWorld sports betting terminals are located throughout the Philippines, but you can also find some terminals in the casinos around Manila.
Below are the current Kentucky Derby odds from MyBookie’s Sportsbook.
