Iditarod Trifecta

This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

Iditarod Trifecta

Postby Gatekeeper » Sat Mar 07, 2020 8:46 am

It looks like the Iditarod is sponsoring a betting line on the winner. Looks like a revenue source for the Iditarod with 40% of the entry fees ($10.00 for each prediction) to the Iditarod, 40% to winner and the rest divided to other top finishing entries. I heard that they cannot take online payments because that would constitute online gambling, which would be illegal.

Thoughts? Anyone entered?
