Racing and wagering have always gone together. Greyhound racing has been one of the most popular ways to wager money for at least a century — the mechanical hare was a 1912 creation of Owen Patrick Smith (who loved both greyhound racing and rabbits!).
These powerful yet graceful dogs have run the track for years and provided gamblers countless hours of enjoyment. From the 1920′s to the 1960′s, up to 34 million spectators a year attended greyhound races and frequented the on-course bookmakers. The rise of television and the legalization of off-course betting brought down overall attendance at the races themselves, but the care-free days of sitting down with a paper and planning out how much to bet on what dog aren’t over – they’ve just moved online!
Simply take a look at one of the online sportsbooks (the best of which are shown below) and you will see just how alive this glamorous and classic sport really is.
