Greyhounds + Dog Racing Matched Betting
Why Matched Betting Works for Greyhound Racing
Greyhound racing offers multiple betting markets on every race:
- Race winners (to-win markets)
- Forecasts & Tricasts (predict top 2 or 3 in order)
- Each-way markets (win/place combinations)
- Trap challenges (most winners by trap number)
- Head-to-head matchups (Dog A vs Dog B)
Bookmakers frequently release promotions tied to UK and Irish greyhound racing:
- Free bets for backing winners at odds over a threshold (e.g. 4/1 or higher)
- Money-back specials if your dog finishes second
- Boosted odds on selected runners or trap numbers
- Refunds if your greyhound is first out of the traps but fails to win
Matched betting takes advantage of these offers by placing a back bet with a bookmaker and a matching lay bet on a betting exchange:
Example: Back Trap 3 to win at 4.0 with a bookmaker, and lay Trap 3 on an exchange. If either wins or loses, your free bet or refund offer guarantees a profit.
With races every few minutes across tracks like Romford, Monmore, Towcester, Hove, and Shelbourne Park, there’s always a fresh opportunity to profit.
