Greyhounds: UK Betting
Greyhound betting in the UK? Tradition has us in cloth caps down
the dogs if we express any interest in greyhound racing. Andy
Capp has a lot to answer for!
Quite a handicap was indeed imposed on the sport as a result
of this populist image. It has its foundation in historical
and even some current realities. Horse racing may be the sport
of kings, but greyhound racing is available to those of very
modest means. Keeping and training a dog is in a different
league cost-wise compared to owning a race horse.
Then there is the totally different nature of the events
themselves. Few over any real distance, all sprints really.
Occasional hurdles of a sort for variety. Maximum of six
runners.
But what the heck, they are an excellent betting material.
Dogs run like clockwork compared to horses. There is much less
left to chance. The odds are shorter in consequence, but with
care and discretion you can make a steady income backing them.
Most of all you want a good source of expertise for your tips.
