Greyhound betting is a mainstay of the UK betting scene and, alongside horse racing, a staple of the betting world in general. In greyhound racing, dogs race each other around an oval track in pursuit of an artificial hare (the "lure"), with the first dog past the post being announced the winner.

The sport has more or less taken this form since 1912, when the modern form of greyhound racing emerged. Today, Greyhound racing is eagerly followed by punters in the USA, where the modern sport originated, as well as in Ireland, Australia, and, of course, here in the UK, where increased television coverage and the rise of Internet gambling has led to a boost in the sport's popularity.

Greyhound Betting Racing in the UK

Many meetings are held in the UK throughout the year, the most notable being the Greyhound Derby and St Leger run at Wimbledon and the Racing Post Festival run at Walthamstow. Britain is also home to a number of top greyhound tracks, including Hove, Monmore, Romford, Shelbourne Park, and Wimbledon, the nation"s top greyhound track. Betting is not confined to UK meetings, however, and some book makers offer markets for races held in Ireland and elsewhere.
