I know Betonline and Betus offer these. They pick 2 Horses in a race and all You need to do is pick which one will out run the other. But nither one of those two books offer very many, maybe a couple of races a day if that. Any one know if there are others.

Sportsbook.com usually always has the entire card of matchups  for whatever NY circuit track is running.

Not that hard to hit at all if decent handicapper but usually most of them are both horses at -120.

Example, 7 out of 9 matches tomorrow both horses involved in the match ups the  horses are -120

Most of the books in Europe do it, Powers, Ladbrokes, bet365 etc... but for European racing never for US, US racing is crazy to me...

Thanks for the input Conner, I would think the reason not many books to it is for fear of taking a beating.

yeah... but they do it alot here (they actually do it more in the Sportsbook shops as opposed to online where I havent often seen it)... But they wont take much of a beating really as they will have for example -

Horse No.1 priced @ -115 v Horse No.2 priced @ -110.. something like that so they are building their profit into the price

I've seen races where they could be 4 or 5 Horse x v Horse y matchups in one race... Also I'd imagine they put limits on maximum bets so they don't take too much of a beating..

The other thing you could do is bet on a horse to lose if you have access to an online exchange (i.e. you are taking the bet so you're putting up the money that the person placing the bet against you will win if the horse was to win)... This would be good if you had inside info that one horse was gonna run a stinker but you werent sure about the rest of the field..

Thanks Gates & thanks JohnnyMo for asking about this. I'm going to do the same thing, JohnnyMo & put some $$ into Sportsbook. This looks like easy pickings.
