The purpose of the B. Sc. Thesis is to analyse in detail the economic importance of betting in equestrianism. as well as in which disciplines it is most often present and in what forms. The meaning of equestrianism has changed a lot in the past decades. From working animals, horses became primarily family and sport animals. This also increased the economic importance of equestrianism. According to these trends, the number of equestrian competitions expectedly increased over the last ten years, more than tripling according to available data. This also increases the economic impact of bets, which have long been present in the penitentiary but are less well known and present in Slovenia. Horse betting appeared mostly due to the organizers of the competitions testing horses being more easily able to cover the financial expenses of the events. The most widely spread and the most profitable is betting in horse racing, such as flat racing and harness racing. The form of betting varies depending on the type of discipline and the country in which we place the bet.
