Live Greyhounds
Overview
Live greyhound racing is a product offered by Aardvark, and is similar to Dogs. Aardvark offers exclusive betting on races, 364 days a year, from the BAGS UK greyhound tracks (24,000 races/year), supplemented with races from Australia (46,000 races/year) & America.
Intervals between races vary, but races are expected to average every 3 to 4 minutes, with 7 minutes being a maximum duration between races.
Players can take fixed prices for both win & forecast (exacta) bets or take SP dividends for win, place, forecast (exacta) & tricast (trifecta) bets.
Races from the UK have 6 runners, whereas those from Australia and the United States have 8 runners.
