As a result, horse race bettors have been relatively slow to adopt the latest mobile technology in comparison to casino and poker players. Bricks-and-mortar betting shops have traditionally been the home of serious racing punters because they are a great way to socialize with other racing fans and pick up tips for upcoming races. Their dominance now appears to be slipping as racebook apps for devices like the iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S5 and Nokia Lumia become more and more sophisticated and offer features that are just too good to ignore.
