Baseball world series, Super Bowl, Stanley Cup Playoffs,

I like the Olympics too but they aren't an annual event so I didn't include them.

The Triple Crown Races are good, but only the Kentucky Derby is a guaranteed thrill for me. The Preakness has some pull, the Belmont only holds if the same horse wins the first 2 or if the place and show horses are in the top in both.


Soccer hasn't gotten me yet, neither has most golf or most tennis.
So you go for the Trifecta on the Triple Crown, had any luck? :confused:

Always wondered why people stood and looked at a horse before they placed a bet. :confused:

It gives you a feel of what the horse is like. Does it look healthy and alert and ready to race? Does the horse look like it wants to win?


Someday I might use those idea, until then I just go with the name that I like best.......which may be why I don't win.

The Olympics is biggest and the best but if we're excluding that i'll have think about other events.

1 - It's got to be the Superbowl, the worldwide audience is huge, it's simply the biggest sporting event in the world (Excluding the Olympics of course), nothing can get close.

2 - FIFA World Cup. Not quite as big as the Superbowl but it's still a pretty big event. Shame they only let 32 countries in it though

3 - Wimbledon. Tennis is a sport popular around the world, people stay up till the early hours to watch this, the biggest event in the sport.

World Cup Cricket

:jester: The Cricket World Cup is watched by about three people worldwide as they wait 5 days until the first match finishes.

The Superbowl might be the biggest sporting event in the US, but not worldwide.
