Betting Events

The biggest betting event in Australia without question is the Melbourne Cup in horse racing, dubbed ‘the race that stops a nation’. As the crown jewel of Melbourne’s Spring Racing Carnival, the Melbourne Cup routinely attracts the best stayers from around the globe to compete across two miles.

Hot on the heels of the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival is Sydney’s Autumn Racing schedule, dubbed 'The Championships'. Containing a plethora of Group 1 racing, The Championships has multimillion dollar races which rival any carnival in the world.

Outside the two biggest carnivals in Australia, the world’s richest race on turf is The Everest, which is run every year in October in Sydney. Attracting the world’s best sprinters, the event grows in stature every year. On the sports side of things, the AFL and NRL grand finals are the biggest betting events of the year. Everything from match-winners, first goal or try-scorer, or who will be best on ground in an AFL match can be bet on, and Australian bettors love wagering on the footy finals.
