Last year it was 8/1 Authentic that romped home in first place proving the bookies aren’t always right. Indeed, after that little upset, a bet on the 2021 Kentucky Derby doesn’t seem quite as simple as it used to. For instance, this year online betting sites in the US like Bovada are tipping Essential Quality at just 11/4. That seems fair enough but should you really back the favourite in a race that seems to perpetually throw up wildcard wins? We take a look at this years runners.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is now living in an episode of the Twilight Zone. Given all he’d ever desired, he now finds himself choking on it. But just because things haven’t worked out as he might have wished, doesn’t mean he’s going anywhere. Having reached the top of the greasy pole you can bet on Boris Johnson to cling on for as long as possible. If Keir Starmer and Labour don’t quite believe he can, online betting sites in the UK like Bet365 certainly seem to.

The UK culture of gambling is one long marked by a duality of attitude. Both the authorities and public are all but schizophrenic about it. They deride it as a vice on one hand and positively encourage it as a harmless flutter on the other. Historically there is, as they say, rather a lot of baggage. Modern online betting sites in the UK like Bet365 thus find themselves walking bizarrely hypocritical tightrope. Growing accessibility might not equate to expanding acceptability.

The Victorians loved to gamble, and the richer they were the more they enjoyed it. This leads to the development of horseracing, the popularity of blackjack and, sometimes, massive debts. High stakes games among the rich entirely eclipsed the minor peccadillos of the poor. They turned a pastime into a vice and squeezed themselves with it. This assures these scandals of 19th century gambling still have an ongoing effect on the UK gambling laws sites like Bet365 operate under.

Beyond the lunatics in their charity fancy dress, the sincere but sweaty worthies raising money for good causes and those who just enjoy running twenty-six miles for fun the elite races are a serious business in of itself. For none of the competitors is that more true than for London’s local Somali hero.
