Horse racing for entertainment

One friend who is an avid fan of horse racing usually defends his hobby that horse racing is not for gambling. Although he bets on the horses once in a while he still insists that betting on a horse is just to make it more exciting to watch the races. If you are watching a game of tennis or a boxing match isn’t more interesting if you have a favorite in the competition? Maybe I have to agree on that.

Betting for fun is also what the Royals of England are doing. They go to the races and bet on the horses. But they bet small amounts only. Their reason is to make the races more exciting to them. Now I can agree to that.
