First, let's start with understanding how the sport works. In greyhound racing, dogs compete against each other in a race, ♠ chasing a mechanical hare around a track. The first dog to cross the finish line wins. Each dog is identified ♠ by a number and wears a colorful jacket with their owner's emblem.
There are over 20 different categories of bets available ♠ for greyhound racing, offering a wide range of options for enthusiasts. Some of the most popular bets include:
* Win and ♠ Place: A double bet that combines two aspects -Win and Place- into one. You're essentially betting on the dog to ♠ win and place at the same time. The rules are similar to the Place market, which I'll explain below.
* Quinella: ♠ This bet involves selecting the first and second-placed dogs, regardless of the order they finish in. Think of it like ♠ betting on both teams to win in a football match.
* Forecast: With this bet, you're predicting the exact finishing order ♠ of the first and second placed dogs.
