Online Greyhound Betting

Greyhound racing in America dates back to 1919 and is the sixth largest spectator sport with just over 40 greyhound racing tracks operated in 18 different states. As such, theres plenty of opportunities to bet on in American greyhound betting.

Florida is the leading state for Greyhound racing with more than 15 million people visiting the tracks. More than $2 billion is wagered each year on American greyhound betting.

Greyhound racing wagers in the US are refered to as ‘Pari-Mutuel’, which is French for "to wager against and amongst ourselves". American greyhound betting fans get to bet against each other as opposed to betting against the greyhound racing track or sportsbook.

Wagers of a similar type will be placed together in a pool with the payoff odds calculated or determined by sharing the pool amongst all the placed bets.

Pari-Mutuel betting is different from betting fixed odds betting in the sense that the final payout is only determined after betting into the pool has been closed.

American greyhound betting options tend to vary from track to track but the most common are:

Win Bet

This is the most basic and common bet in American grehound betting. Betting is on the winner at the given odds with payouts being made only if the selected greyhound is first across the finish line.

Place Bet

Your selected greyhound should finish either first or second for there to be a payout.

Show Bet

Also very popular in American greyhound betting, wagering is on a selected greyhound to finish first, second or third.

Across The Board Bet

This involves three individual bets on one dog to Win, Place, and Show. What this means is that if the greyhound you select wins, you get to collect on all 3 bets., which makes it a very attractive American greyhound betting option.

Pick 3 Bet

You get to collect if you can select the winners of three consecutive races.
