GREYHOUND RACING
Greyhound racing is mainly popular in Australia, Ireland, the Uninted Kingdom and the United States.
The first recorded instance of racing greyhounds on an oval track was in 1912 by Owen Patrick Smith. This led to on course gambling on greyhound races first occurring in the United States in the early 1920s. By 1927 there were also four courses operating in the UK.
Betting has always been a key ingredient of greyhound racing, both through on course bookmakers, totalisers and now of course via online racebooks.
The dogs are encouragd to race using a lure, which is traditionally an artificial hare or rabbit that runs on a rail on the inside of the track. Once released from the starting gates, the greyhounds chase the hare and the first dog to cross the finish line is the winner.
There are many different types of bets that can be placed on greyhound races, and many punters swear by certain keys to betting on greyhound racing.
