While the big three races are over for online sports betting, there is still one more classic before the season ends: The Breeders Cup.

This year’s edition will take place at the Santa Anita race track and it is sure to be a star-studded event. Mine That Bird, the 2009 Kentucky Derby winner, and the sensational filly Zenyatta and Belmont Stakes winner Summer Bird will be taking part in the event.

But to a lot of casual bettors surprise, even though there is plenty of big names in this race, the favorite is currently Rip Van Winkle. Second in line on the odds is Zenyatta, the filly that has yet to lose a race.

One surprising omission is Rachel Alexandra. A lot of people were hoping that they would get to see a showdown of fillies between Alexandra and Zenyatta, but that will have to wait until the Triple Crown races next year.

Keep an eye on Summer Bird in this race, who is somewhat of a forgotten underdog. Currently sitting at +700, that’s fairly good value for a horse that has won a Triple Crown race and is jiving pretty well with jockey Kent Desormeaux. This horse can win long races and has great closing speed – maybe as good as anyone in this race outside of Mine That Bird.

Our pick for the big race is Summer Bird. The value and the pedigree are too hard to pass up.

When it comes to sports betting, every professional knows that you have to have multiple accounts. While it’s nice to have a one-stop shop, the reality is that if you want to win money long term you have to shop around for the best lines and you have get bet the best value when you bet on a team.

 When it comes to betting on point spreads, you can gain anywhere from a half-point all the way to two or three points when it comes to betting at different sportsbooks.

 When it comes to moneylines, searching around for the best price is key if you want to pay the lowest price for favorites and get paid the most for underdogs.

 The key to getting the price is to have multiple sports betting accounts with different shops. If you only have one account, you are stuck with whatever lines they provide you with.

 Some people don’t like opening up several accounts because of hassle and security concerns, but those are minute. For example, some people don’t like the fact that it takes time to open up several accounts, submit your information and deposit into each account.

 While that may be an issue, the reality is that if you’re a professional player or if you are serious about winning money in sports betting, you have to shop around for the best line.
