Belmont Stakes Prop Betting 2008


June 6, 2008 | Posted By Larry Cook

Many horse racing fans will be turning to the 2008 Belmont Stakes prop bets to get the most out of the Saturday, June 7th race. These bets only add to the thrill that the third leg of the Triple Crown brings us. The team here at Info Plays will go over these Belmont prop bets to show you what’s out there to wager on. The most popular prop bet at Bodoglife.com is shown directly below, but there are many more that we will review to help you maximize your profits on race day.

1.) Which horse will win the 2008 Belmont Stakes – WITHOUT Big Brown?

This is a very popular bet because the chances are that Big Brown will win the race. By eliminating Big Brown from the wagering, it leaves you with 9 horses to select from. The pre-race favorite for this bet is Casino Drive at 11/10 odds to win the race, without Big Brown of course. That means that if Big Brown wins and Casino Drive gets second, a wager on Casino Drive would have you cashing in at the pay window. The biggest long shot for this bet is Icabad Crane at 11/1 odds.

2.) Will Big Brown win the Triple Crown?

This bet is basically the same as betting on Big Brown to win the race. As of now, Big Brown is a -300 favorite to win the Triple Crown. That means you have to wager $300 just to win $100. Clearly odds makers are confident Big Brown is going to be the first Triple Crown winner in 30 years. You don’t agree? Take the value bet at +220 where you will be betting against Big Brown to win. That means any of the other 9 horses can win the race and you will be a winner. You can’t beat that value!

3.) Will Big Brown’s winning time in the 2008 Belmont Stakes be faster than that of Affirmed – 2:26 4/5 in 1978?

Affirmed was the last Triple Crown winner that horse racing has seen. Big Brown is a +200 underdog to beat Affirmed’s lighting quick time of 2:26 and some change. This is a freakishly fast horse, but do you think Big Brown can handle the 1 ½ mile distance? Put your money where your mouth is and throw down!

4.) Will a member of the Clinton Family (Bill, Hilary or Chelsea) attend the 2008 Belmont Stakes?

This is where the wagering gets ridiculous, yet exciting. If you have the inside scoop on the Clinton family, then sign up for a Bodog account today and BET THE FARM on either, Yes (-140) or No (EVEN). Obviously, the team at Bodog thinks there will be a member of the Clinton family in attendance. This is where you just wish you had Monica Lewinski’s phone number, because you know she’s still giving Bill blow jobs under the counter. What a great source of inside information she could bring to the table!
