Greyhound Racing Betting Tips

If you’re new to dog betting, we’ve put together some pointers to help you:

Form

One of the most important factors to consider when researching a greyhound bet is to consider the form of the dog. This includes their recent performances, their past record at the track and their general fitness and health.

Track Conditions

Always consider the condition of the greyhound track. This can play an influential role in the outcome of a race. Different greyhounds may prefer certain types of tracks to others.

Trainer and Kennel Form

Look at the recent results of the greyhound’s trainer and kennel. Is it in good form? Or has it struggled for wins of late? This could be an indicator of a dog’s likelihood of success.

Draw

The position of each greyhound in the starting trap can also have a say on a race’s outcome. Some traps may offer an advantage or disadvantage depending on the track conditions and each dog’s running style.

Betting Market

The greyhound odds in the market can also give you a steer. If a greyhound’s price has fallen steadily in the lead-up to the race, it suggests the smart money is going on this dog.

Race Distance

Bear in mind that some greyhounds may be better suited to shorter or longer race distances, just like racehorses.

Greyhound Odds

There are several formats that greyhound betting odds is displayed in at talkSPORT BET. In fact, you can cycle between greyhound odds in fractional, decimal or American odds formats.

Sports betting traditionalists will prefer fractional odds, while decimal odds are most commonly used in Europe and are increasingly popular in the UK. American odds can also be seen just by toggling between the formats within your talkSPORT BET account preferences.

Types of Greyhound Betting Markets

There are various types of greyhound bets you can place online with sites like talkSPORT BET. Below, we explain eight of the most popular markets for greyhound betting odds in the UK:

Win Bet

Place a bet on a greyhound to win a race outright.

Place Bet

Place a bet on a greyhound to finish in the top two or three places in the race, depending on the number of runners.

Each-Way Bet

This is a combination of a win and place bet. With an each-way greyhound bet, you are placing two bets: one on the dog to win the race and another on the dog to finish in the top two or three.

Forecast Bet

Correctly predict the dogs that will finish first and second in the race, in the correct order.

Tricast Bet

Correctly predict the dogs that will finish first, second and third in the race, in the correct order.

Accumulator Bet

Place a bet on dogs in multiple greyhound races. To win the bet, all selections must win their respective races.

Jackpot Bet

A jackpot bet is a variant of an accumulator bet, with greater payout potential. In a jackpot bet, you must predict the winners of multiple races to land the jackpot prize.

Placepot Bet

This is a type of pool bet, where punters aim to predict which greyhounds will place in the first six races of a race meeting.

Major Greyhound Racing Events To Bet On

Greyhound racing is one sport that’s scheduled throughout the year, come rain or shine. However, as with other sports, some events are bigger than others. Below are the five most popular greyhound races held throughout the year:

Greyhound Derby

The English Greyhound Derby is one of the most prestigious greyhound races on the planet. Held annually at Towcester Racecourse in England, it features only the best greyhounds from around the world. The dogs compete in a knockout format staged over several weeks, with the eventual winner being crowned the outright champion.

Irish Greyhound Derby

The Irish Greyhound Derby is another eagerly anticipated greyhound race, staged annually at Shelbourne Park in Dublin. It too features the best Irish and British greyhounds, who compete in a similar knockout format over several weeks to determine the overall champion.

Australian Cup

Greyhound betting is a big deal ‘Down Under’ too. The Australian Cup is the premier greyhound race in Australia. Held annually at The Meadows in Melbourne, it attracts the cream of the crop from across the country, competing over a race distance of 525 metres.

All England Cup

The All England Cup is another big spectacle in British greyhound racing. Hosted annually at Newcastle Greyhound Stadium in north-east England, it welcomes the top greyhounds in the UK and Ireland. The race itself is staged over a distance of 480 metres, with the winner crowned the outright champion.

St. Leger

Birmingham’s Perry Barr Greyhound Stadium is the venue for the prestigious St. Leger race. It’s tailored to dogs in the UK and Ireland that prefer to race over longer distances. The St. Leger is raced over a distance of 710 metres, with the winner crowned the outright champion.

How do I know if a greyhound is in good form?

Look at a greyhound’s past performances to gauge its form. Its results don’t always tell the full story. Look for comments like ‘finishes well’ or ‘running on’ to suggest that the dog has a chance of being involved at the business end of races. Look carefully at the speed of the dogs too, as the quickest dog in the race usually has the greatest chance of winning.

Is it possible to bet on live greyhound races?

In-play greyhound betting is not something that any online bookmaker offers at the time of writing. As soon as the hare is running, bets cannot be placed on the race. This is probably for the best, as greyhound races are short and sharp, making it hard to get bets matched in time.

Can I place a bet on multiple greyhounds in a single race?

Yes, you can bet on as many greyhounds to win in a race as you wish, but the more you bet on the less you’re likely to win outright. You can also place a bet on multiple greyhounds to finish first, second and third. This is known as a tri-cast bet.

How much should I bet on a greyhound race?

Ultimately, the size of your greyhound bets should only be what you can afford to lose. There are no guarantees with anything when it comes to sports betting, including greyhound racing.
