Biggest Greyhound Betting Events
Greyhound racing remains a prevalent pastime for millions and features some of the most competitive racing action in sports. There are plenty of betting events for bettors who want to break into the greyhound racing scene.
The English Greyhound Derby happens to be one of the most prominent greyhound racing events worldwide. The event is held annually in June or July, and the prize can amount to a whopping £175,000. The event began in 1927 on a Wimbledon track that spanned 480 metres. Nowadays, the derby is held on a Towcester track that runs 500 metres.
Also among the most significant greyhound racing events, the East Anglican Derby has been held at Norfolk’s Yarmouth Stadium since 1975. The event takes place over a track 463 metres long, and the event winner is awarded £15,000. All the competing dogs have their times clocked under thirty seconds.
The Select Stakes is yet another one-of-a-kind tournament. Held since 1996, it involves a jury selecting six greyhounds to compete in the one-off race. The event takes place every year in Nottingham in late July, and the track is 500 meters long. The winner of the event receives a decent reward worth £7500.
Best Greyhound Bets
Single Bet
A single bet is essentially the crux of greyhound betting. You either bet on a greyhound to win or place (a specific position) in the race. If the bet comes off, you receive a return on your bet.
This can also be done in the form of an “each way” race, where the first two or three dogs to cross the finish line will still pay out. This form works best if you think one greyhound will win, but you cannot be too sure.
Most Popular Greyhound Bets
Forecast Bet
A popular betting system in greyhound racing, the forecast bet involves betting on two greyhounds. The first bet is placed on which one will win, and the second is on which one will finish in second place.
Trifecta Bet
A trifecta bet works similarly to a forecast bet but requires a better understanding of how greyhound racing works. In this bet, the bettor bets which greyhound they think will finish first, second, and third place. Since the odds of this bet are high, you can expect the payouts to be increased. Again, this is all provided you have sufficient experience and knowledge regarding greyhound betting.
