2008 Preakness Betting ResultsMaximizing one's Preakness betting results is an excellent way to ensure maximum enjoyment from the Triple Crown's middle jewel. Preakness and the other two Triple Crown events bring many new or occasional sports gamblers to the online sports betting books. It may very well be that you are one of these people and that your own Preakness betting results will hinge solely upon the winner of the Derby. This is fine. Many experienced horse racing gamblers bet on this horse as well and would always tell you, based in historical trends, to do the same. However, these same gamblers may not be so ready to share the rest of the horse racing knowledge they keep at hand so that their Preakness betting results aren't necessarily dependent upon the mood and speed of a single horse.Big Brown has won the 2008 Preakness Stakes in 1:54.86 and now the big question is if he can win the Triple Crown? If he does, he'll be the first horse to do so in 30 years. "This was about as easy a Preakness won as ever," said Jim Nance of NBC. Will Big Brown win the Triple Crown Yes: 1/2 No: 3/2 One thing to remember, and sure to improve not only your Preakness betting results but your betting results in general, is that the bookmakers are well informed people. They are experienced in making odds. It is best to consider the initial odds as more or less accurate indicators of which horses are the most likely to place in a particular race. What will sometimes happen is that betters will, for some reason or another, choose their own favorite and begin placing bets on another horse or horses. The consequence of this behavior is that odds and prices drift, sometimes enough so that the odds maker's initial favorite becomes a dark horse through a simple and arbitrary numerical shift. The key is to remember the initial favorite and consider placing some money on them, for such bets are almost always a good value and generally profit in the long run. If such a thing happens at Preakness be prepared to take advantage of it and boost your Preakness betting results.
