Greyhound racing is a fast-paced sport where dogs chase a speedy mechanical rabbit to the finish line. The first of many greyhound tracks opened in California in 1919. Today, the discipline has fans in the UK, Australia, Ireland, and other countries.
Are you interested in this simple and fast-paced sport? Learn what it takes to score a payout.
Given the fairly limited demand for this sport, betting sites like Paripesa don’t comprehensively cover the betting markets. Right now, there are only two types of greyhound odds that you can put your money on: Winner and Place (in the top 2 or 3).
These markets are also very easy to understand. You’re simply betting on the greyhound to win or to place in the top 2 or 3.
While the actual options are easy to understand, arriving at solid greyhound racing betting decisions involves understanding certain features, such as:
Track basics. A race normally consists of 8 greyhounds, each of which occupies a trap box.
Form card. This summarizes all known features about each greyhound, including weight, age, and recent performance.
Race distance. This normally ranges from 250 to 450 meters, which can affect which dog will win the race.
Odds movements. You’ll normally see the odds move here even before the actual race. You can use this as a clue to what’s happening behind closed trap boxes.
Use all these features to determine which greyhounds to put your money on.
Improve your odds of a decent payout by following these tips:
Tips | How to Do It |
Consider trap box bias | See if inside or outside runners tend to win more than the others for the track in question. |
Look at the running style | Go for strong finishers for longer races and early pacers for short ones. |
See if they like the rain | Some greyhounds like the rain and the softer surface, while others don’t. Find out which is which. |
Essentially, use the information that’s available to you to make informed betting decisions and potentially score a decent payday.
It depends on the odds. For example, if the odds for betting on a certain greyhound were 3.00, it would mean that you’d get 3 USD gross returns for every 1 USD wagered.
Unfortunately, not. The race is over quickly, so the platform doesn’t support it.
Click on the race that you’re interested in. Then, look at the upper right corner of the event page, where you’ll see details like temperature, wind, and humidity.
