Dog Racing Tracks
Greyhound racing is enjoyed all over the world, including Great Britain, US, Ireland and Australia. Some of the famous dog racing tracks can be found in these countries including New Zealand. This sport is known to be the sixth largest spectator sport in the US and is legal in nearly 18 states. Dog race betting in the UK is extremely popular and well known. Greyhound racing reached its peak of popularity in 1992, when 3.5 million spectators watched greyhound racing in more than 17,000 races. Greyhound tracks donate to charities to the tune of $2m each year, and on an average 80% of the money wagered in a given day are returned to the buyers of the winning tickets.
Florida is the leading state for greyhound racing and its tracks generate millions in revenue. A track capable of supporting a pari-mutuel of more than ½ a million will employ at least 600 people and this does not include the manpower required for restaurants, motels, etc. Greyhounds are bred to race and they seem to love it and do a great job. Statistics have proved that more than 15m people visit the tracks world over, which results in more than $100m in revenue for the state and country, also it is proved that over $2billion is wagered each year on greyhound racing.
Online sports betting is what makes this sport even more exciting and if you wager on the best two breakers and the best two closers in race, this should be a good choice as 50% of the time, this should hit the quiniela in a four-dog trap at least. Wet tracks and wet conditions seem to pose a problem to greyhounds, so when wagering keep this aspect in mind. A good choice of traps in wet conditions would be the inside traps. It is always beneficial to bet on two dogs rather than one, including one trifecta pick per race. In greyhound racing you can never bet on a dog to win, as they are more unpredictable than horses. This is one reason why quinielas will help you make money, and are advisable in this sporting event.
If you are wondering what quinielas are, these are the most popular wagers and easiest bets on a greyhound track. Quinielas are wagered on the majority of players out at the dog track for a considerable amount of time, in the hope of getting lucky and coming home with a score. A quiniela is an exact combination of the first two greyhounds over the finish line, irrespective of their order of finish. For example, if dog 1 wins and dog 5 runs second, the quiniela is 1 and 5, and vice versa if dog 5 came first. This is the major difference between a perfecta and an exacta, as those bets have to have the dogs finish in correct order, which is not the case with a quiniela.
The next time you log onto sports betting sites and go to greyhound race betting, remember to ask for quiniela and watch how your online dog race betting event takes a turn and gives you your money’s worth.
