Place a bet pre-race then tap into every moment of the action, right up until the dogs round the final corner. It’s even easier to do with our mobile app.

Waging on the outright winner is one way to go, whether you’re picking out the top dog or taking a punt on the underdog.
Most races enter six runners, though some include eight. You can back a winner right out of the blocks or browse more of your favourite greyhound odds for different types of betting, including ‘either way’.
With an either way bet you’re spreading your risk across the podium places, by placing a wager on the top two or three finishers.

Betting on dog racing - FAQs

What’s the best way to bet on greyhounds?

The simplest way is to pick an outright winner. Betting on the dog that finishes first is as straightforward as it gets. There are no guarantees – and that’s what makes it exciting of course – but paying attention to the odds and form can help you make your decision.

There’s also ‘either way’ betting, where you can back the top two or three finishers, depending on the number of dogs entering in the competition.

How often do greyhound favourites win?

Greyhound favourites are the pre-race picks for a reason. They usually have the best record, the finest form and access to top trainers. Stats show that the favoured race winner often brings home the bacon. However, nothing is guaranteed in greyhound racing and the leader of the pack may not always come out as top dog.

How do I place a bet on greyhound racing?

Once you’ve created an account with 888sport, all you need to do to get started with greyhound betting is select your pick for the winner or top spots and add them to your betting slip before the race gets started. Once you’ve added them to the slip, you can place your wager. If your bet is successful, your total winnings will be added to your balance. You can then withdraw or bet again.

How many races are in a standard meeting?

Similar to horse racing betting, a standard event can have a number of races, ranging from a handful to as many as 15. It’s possible to bet on all of these, but you’ll want to do your research beforehand to see who’s a firm favourite for crossing the line first.
