Win Bet (Straight Bet, or Single) - a bet placed on one greyhound in which the chosen greyhound must be the first across the finish line.
Exacta (Forecast, Straight Forecast, or Perfecta) - a bet placed on two greyhounds in which they must cross the finish line in the exact chosen order.
Trifecta (Tricast, or Treble Forecast) - a bet placed on three greyhounds in which they must cross the finish line in the exact chosen order.

Non-runner - the greyhound/trap withdrawn from the race because of illness, injury, or other reasons.
Trap - One of the box-like compartments that are set along the starting line of a greyhound race track where the dogs wait before being released at the beginning of a race.
Starting Price - Final odds on a dog (e.g. 'closed at 5 to 1') at the start of the race.
Forecast/Tricast Dividend - a computer-calculated number to decide the odds of exacta and trifecta bets. The returns are calculated based on the number and value of the bets placed in the betting pool before the race and the number of bets placed on particular outcomes. The payout is worked out after any relevant taxes and cuts, and it is distributed between the punters who backed that particular winning outcome. Forecast and tricast dividends are published by the racecourses that host the races.
