A bookmaker is an entity that is licensed to take your bets on Thoroughbred, Greyhound and Harness Racing as well as amateur racing carnivals. Bookmakers are present (known as fielding) at tracks all over Metropolitan and Country Victoria including some athletic events.
Bookmakers are an exciting part of the biggest days of the Victorian Spring Carnival and the betting ring is a veritable trading place of speculation, plunges and predictions.
Members of the Victorian Bookmakers Association (VBA) provide a personalised service for the betting public. On course bookmakers can provide credit facilities (subject to regulatory requirements) and VBA members can also provide telephone and internet services tailored specifically for you.
Betting with one of our bookmakers allows you to go head to head with a real person!
