Greyhound racing explained

Horse racing and harness racing are two animal sports available at Sportsbet. Although both have betting advantages and entertainment in their limelight, they incorporate the participation of people (jockeys and riders respectively) in races. Greyhound racing is different, as only the intelligent breed of dogs called greyhounds are allowed to compete by chasing an artificial lure to race around the circular track.

Basic terms in greyhound racing betting

Like any other race event, the primary goal in greyhound racing is to crown a winner, who will be the first greyhound to cross a finish line. Aside from the traditional Moneyline wager, greyhound races provide a variety of betting options. Before all that, you should first be aware of the following words when it comes to greyhound betting.

1. Age → Greyhounds may usually begin even at 18 months. One of the basic reasons for the early start at the track is that most governments demand a minimum of 500 to 1,000 dogs to operate a greyhound racetrack. They, however, have a retirement age of four to five years.

2. Distance → One of the subject matters covered before a racing event is set is distance. The length of the race is determined by the kind of competition. Most of them are run over a distance of roughly 600 yards on average, but this might vary depending on the site and the size of the event.

3. Grades → Greyhounds are classified into one of six grades: A, B, C, D, J, and M. Grade A is the highest and Grade M, which stands for ‘maiden’ is the lowest. For each time a greyhound wins a race, the dog is advanced one grade until they reach Grade A.

4. Handicap racing → Like in any other sports, handicap racing or betting is used to balance the odds and chances between weak/slow and strong/fast champions. In greyhound racing, the racing management determines the placement of the competing dogs in various starting positions.

5. Hurdle racing → Greyhound hurdle racing is a race in which artificial obstacles are built at various locations along the track. The canines would then have to leap over or conquer these barriers, giving a new difficulty to the race in addition to winning it with speed and agility.

6. Meeting → A meeting refers to any pre-planned event of a race that will take place on a specified racing track.

7. Surface → A greyhound race track surface is often built of sand. The track type has always been one of the most important things to consider when making race predictions because of how quickly it can be changed by the weather, turning into an ashy to muddy texture.
   
   

Greyhound racing betting at Sportsbet.io: 4 excellent features that await you

Unlike horse racing and harness racing, greyhound racing is more likely to be a working man’s sport because greyhounds are quite easy to get involved in with. They aren’t as expensive as Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds, so even those with little financial capital can easily obtain a stake in a dog, participate in and enjoy this sport. Race your way to big rewards because of the four following excellent features that await you here at Sportsbet.

1. Interface powered by Latrobet

Sportsbet brings you the smoothest possible betting experience courtesy of its integration with Latrobet, a 360° horse racing solution that offers their very unique and cutting-edge Racing API. You can easily check the list of races, countdown timer indicating when they will start, odds and lineups, and even comprehensive runner details to assist you in your betting decisions.

Sportsbet organises greyhound races from across the world into categories, making it easier for punters to browse events quickly. Greyhound racecourses are listed on the left side of the page, with upcoming races listed separately as 1 to 14. Pacing events that have countdown timers allow you to see how much time is left until they start. Otherwise, they can also be found in a list sorted by the following:

• Soon (represented by green colour)

• Starting (represented by red colour)

• Fixed odds (represented by a small right-facing triangle)

• Closed (represented by a locked sign)

• Abandoned (represented by the term ‘Abdn’)

2. Fixed betting: 3 different bet types to choose from

Greyhound racing offers fast-paced action with a simple betting procedure. Sportsbet simplifies this experience for novice and experienced punters alike with fixed odds betting. Unlike horse racing and harness racing where you can bet on two or more champions depending on their respective places, this betting line is a traditional practice where a bookie like us offers odds on a specific outcome in a race.

Only that, keep in mind that fixed odds will be likely to change if greyhounds and/or their trainers experience sudden problems before or at the start of the race. Should that be the case, you don’t have to worry much because our Betslip offers three different bet types, which are as follows:

• Single → A single bet is one in which you wager on only one result of an event, and it is perhaps the simplest form of bet you can make. Simply put a wager on a greyhound to win a race, and Sportsbet will pay out the profits if the selection wins.

• Multi → A multi-bet links together a series of single bets, multiplying your potential winnings. Each leg can be made up of any combination of races at different tracks. So, the more legs you choose, the more comprehensive your wager. The more legs you add, the greater the risk and your potential winnings.

• Combination → Shortened as ‘combo bet’, this type allows you to combine more than one selection on a betting slip.
  
  

3. Mobile betting and high-quality live streaming

Sportsbet remains at the forefront of the industry because of our openness to more excellent organisations. Our integration with Latrobet is just the beginning of your fun-filled greyhound racing betting experience. This is because our mobile betting and high-quality live streaming allow you to enjoy the sport wherever you are in the world and whenever you deem to watch races. We made it easier because the live streaming service is available in a variety of languages, including Brazilian, Japanese, and Russian.
