Greyhound Racing Betting

For some reason, greyhound racing is often thought of as somewhat of a poor relation to horse racing. Nevertheless, many punters actually prefer to bet on the greyhounds as there are generally more races to choose from at most major greyhound racing venues during the course of the day. The races are also usually very fast and exciting, with most greyhound races only lasting about 30 seconds or so. In fact, many horse racing fanatics get hooked on the dogs when they have tried it for the first time.

Greyhound Racing Research

One thing that Greyhound racing does have in common with the more esteemed horse racing is the necessity of researching form before betting. Greyhound races generally have between 6 and 10 dogs taking part, and as such it is important to look into the recent and long-term form of the individual dogs. This will also give you a lot of information on how the different dogs perform on different types of track and over different lengths of course. The good news is that many bookmakers, both Australian and international, provide plenty of greyhound racing form and statistics for free on their website. This information is usually readily available for all registered customers.

Greyhound Racing Odds

Anyone who has bet on greyhound racing in the past or has taken a look at the markets available on many bookmakers' websites will know that the odds available range from very short favourites to very unlikely longshots. One of the most exciting things about betting on greyhound racing is the fact that the underdog always has a chance of winning. In any race where there can be as little as 6 runners, the result of the race is certainly never a foregone conclusion and many punters have made good money on backing one of the least fancied dogs. Another factor to consider is that dogs often get involved in little skirmishes and take themselves out of the running; if you can see any bad habits a particular dog has picked up, the odds you're seeing may not be as conclusive as you may think.

Greyhound Racing Commentary and Coverage

Another excellent feature of many Australian and international bookmakers is that they often have some kind of greyhound racing video coverage or audio commentary. Again, these services are virtually always provided for free and can provide you with a lot of additional information both before and after placing your bets.
