How to bet at a Kentucky Derby party
Planning on attending or hosting a Kentucky Derby party this year? Betting on your favorite horse(s) is a big part of the fun, and you don't have to be at the track to get involved.
These tips will ensure you and your guests get a run for your money during the Run for the Roses:
Bet with your computer or mobile device
If you live in one of the many states that allows advance deposit wagering (ADW), you're in luck—you can place bets online and await the results from home. A popular option is TwinSpires.com, the official wagering partner of the Kentucky Derby. TwinSpires users can place bets on their computer or mobile device and enjoy high-quality livestreams of all the action. Even better, new players can take advantage of a $100 signup bonus.
Get your bets in early
Don't assume you'll have a chance to bet the Derby in the final minutes before post time—once your party gets going, time is bound to fly. Plan your wagers beforehand and place them well before the race, double-checking each bet for accuracy. This goes double if you're placing bets on behalf of your friends and family. You don't want to congratulate your cousin on winning a $5 show bet, only to realize you submitted the wrong number and actually wagered his money on a losing horse.
Play party games
Games are a fun way to get everyone involved without necessarily spending a single cent. Write the names of every Kentucky Derby runner on slips of paper, place them in a hat, and let guests randomly draw a name to determine which horse they'll play.
From here, the variations on gameplay can be infinite. You could arrange for everyone to place a $2 win bet on their chosen horse, giving them a real rooting interest in the outcome. Or you could bet with 'Monopoly money,' wagering imaginary amounts and calculating what each player's winnings would have been. Consider writing down various dollar amounts on slips of paper so players can choose their wager amounts at random; use a wide range of values ($2, $100, $1 billion) for maximum entertainment.

HRFla Staff Report
If you want to bet on this Friday's Kentucky Oaks and/or this Saturday's Kentucky Derby, there will be opportunities at Florida's major horse tracks.
Those tracks are Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Tampa Bay Downs in Oldsmar, Hialeah Park in Hialeah and Pompano Park in Pompano Beach.
But unlike in previous years, when there was no coronavirus pandemic, there will not be a party-like atmosphere at tracks that are simulcasting the Oaks, Derby and the other races at Churchill Downs.
Those races are traditionally run on the first weekend in May. Track management teams always plan promotions and giveaways, especially on Kentucky Derby day.
For many sports fans it is day for going to the local track, betting on the live races, betting on the Derby and watching on a TV monitor or a big screen –while having a mint julep or two.
Meanwhile, if you have an Advance Deposit Wagering (ADW) account you can bet on the Kentucky Derby and almost any other U.S. thoroughbred race without going to a track.
Scheduled post for the Kentucky Oaks (Grade 1) at 1 1/8 miles for fillies is 5:45 p.m. Eastern on Friday.
Scheduled post for the Kentucky Oaks is 7:01 p.m. Eastern on Saturday.
Details are below on the Oaks/Derby simulcasting at the four Florida tracks.
At all four, simulcast patrons will be required to wear masks. Rules on social distancing and other COVID-19 restrictions also will apply.
Via a Google search, it is possible to find out which other pari-mutuels in Florida and other states will be simulcasting this weekend's races from Churchill Downs–as well as Gulfstream, Saratoga and other major tracks.
Gulfstream Park
Gulfstream currently has live racing, but on most days it allows no live spectators because of COVID-19 restrictions.
This Friday and Saturday, it will allow up to 30 patrons in the Silks simulcasting area on its ground floor.
On Friday and Saturday, Gulfstream also will lease out suites on its third floor.
Reservations can be made by calling Gulfstream at (954) 454-7000. Other details are on its Web site https://www.gulfstreampark.com/https://www.gulfstreampark.com/
Gulfstream management also points out that Stronach Group, its parent company, owns and operates the 1ST/BET ADW.
Information, including how to sign up, may be found on this Web site:

Tampa Bay Downs
Tampa Bay will not have live racing until late November.
It has been open for simulcasting, with COVID-19 restrictions, since early July.
This Friday and Saturday, the Oldsmar track's grandstand and part of its outdoor area will be open with tellers and betting machines.
'We are expecting good-sized crowds,' said Margo Flynn, Tampa Bay Downs's vice president for marketing. 'But for lack of a better word it won't be a ‘party' kind of atmosphere like in other years.'
