New greyhound betting site

If you are comparing new greyhound betting sites, we want you to know what you can find at London.bet before you register or place a bet. We organise current UK and Irish greyhound racing by meeting and off time, with the runner, market and price displayed for every selection.

Our Greyhounds betting and odds service includes win, place, each-way, forecast, reverse forecast, tricast and combination bets. Open our current greyhound races to view the next events, or use London.bet to browse the full sports list.

As a greyhound betting site, we keep the key details together from the race list to the bet slip. When you bet on greyhound racing with us, you can review the meeting, off time, runner, trap number, market, price and stake before confirmation.

How do our Greyhounds betting and odds work?

Greyhounds betting and odds are arranged by meeting and race. Betting on greyhound racing begins by choosing an off time, checking the runners and selecting the result you want to back. Each greyhound is associated with a trap number, helping you match the runner shown in the race list with your choice in the bet slip.

Greyhound betting odds express the potential return attached to an outcome. A shorter price represents a higher estimated chance than a longer price, although neither one can predict the result. Taken together, the prices also account for our margin.

Fractional odds show possible profit against the stake. A winning £6 bet at 7/2 produces £21 profit and £27 back altogether.

Decimal odds show the complete return as a multiplier. The equivalent decimal price of 4.50 would also return £27 from a successful £6 stake.

Greyhound racing odds can shorten or lengthen before the off. The figure accepted when you confirm the selection is the price applied to the bet.

How do you place greyhound bets at London.bet?

Begin by identifying the race, not merely a runner’s name. The meeting and off time identify the event, while the market explains exactly what has to happen for the bet to win.

1. Sign in and select Greyhounds from the sports list. 
2. Choose a meeting and open the race with the required off time. 
3. Read the runners, trap numbers and available greyhound bets. 
4. Select the displayed odds for your chosen outcome. 
5. Review the runner, meeting, market, stake and price in the bet slip. 
6. Check the potential return and confirm the bet. 

A price can change after you select it. Read the final odds recorded by the bet slip immediately before confirmation rather than relying on an earlier figure.

Which greyhound racing bets can you choose?

Our greyhound racing betting markets let you back one runner or predict part of the finishing order. The bet type determines how many positions you need to get right.

Greyhound bet

What the selection covers

Win

One greyhound to win the race.

Place

One runner to finish within the positions stated by the market.

Each-way

Two equal wagers on one runner: one for the win and one for a place under the displayed terms.

Forecast

Your chosen greyhounds to occupy first and second in the specified sequence.

Reverse forecast

Two runners to fill the first two places in either order.

Tricast

Three named greyhounds to finish first, second and third in the exact sequence selected.

Combination forecast or tricast

Several possible finishing orders involving your chosen runners. The bet slip calculates the combined stake.

A forecast and reverse forecast can involve the same two runners, but they are not the same bet. The standard forecast needs one precise order, while the reverse version covers both possible orders. Combination bets create several lines, so always check the total amount at risk.

What can a racecard tell you before a greyhound bet?

A racecard gives you a structured way to assess the runners. Start with the distance, grade and trap draw before considering recent finishing positions or recorded times. Racecards are also used for horse racing betting, but the form details and conditions are specific to each sport. For greyhounds, results from another track, trip or racing level need to be read in that context.

Early pace can be important because the approach to the first bend affects how much room a runner finds. The trap number matters too, but an inside or outside draw is not automatically favourable. Consider whether it suits the greyhound’s usual racing line and how the neighbouring runners tend to begin.

Recorded times are most useful when you also check where, when and over which distance they were produced. One fast time does not remove the uncertainty from the next race.

Is there a best way to bet on greyhounds?

There is no method that guarantees a winning selection. A useful greyhound betting strategy is to decide which market you are assessing first and then concentrate on information that can affect that particular bet.

For a win selection, look at recent form, the race distance, grade, trap and recorded times. For forecasts and tricasts, consider how the leading runners’ early pace and preferred lines could affect their finishing order.

Decide your stake before moving a selection to the bet slip. More combinations increase the total amount wagered, while a shorter price still carries the risk of losing. Greyhound betting systems can organise your decisions, but they cannot make a race predictable.

Which major greyhound races can you bet on?

The English Greyhound Derby is Britain’s leading greyhound competition and is staged at Towcester over 500 metres. English Greyhound Derby betting follows the event from its opening rounds through to the final, with prices attached to the runners in each race.

The Irish Greyhound Derby is held at Shelbourne Park in Dublin. Our Irish greyhound betting coverage uses the same meeting and off-time structure as the UK race list, making it easy to move between the races.

The St Leger is a major British staying competition. Distance form and stamina become particularly relevant when assessing its runners because the contest asks a different question from the Derby’s 500-metre trip.

How do we approach safer greyhound betting?

Online greyhound betting provides frequent races, so it helps to decide your spending limit before choosing the first selection. Count every open wager towards that figure and avoid increasing a stake in an attempt to recover a previous loss.

Our safer gambling guidance explains account limits, self-exclusion and the confidential support available. London.bet is restricted to people aged 18 and over, and gambling should be treated as paid entertainment rather than a way to earn money.
