Greyhound racing offers one of the quickest, most exciting betting experiences in the world. With races typically lasting under a minute and race cards running throughout the day, it’s the perfect choice for players who enjoy constant action and rapid results.

Whether you’re watching from the comfort of home or at one of our nine Winners venues, greyhound racing brings together speed, skill, and strategy — all wrapped in a sport that’s easy to follow and packed with betting opportunities.


The Appeal of Greyhound Racing

  • Fast Results – In most sports, you might wait hours for a result. In greyhound racing, you get the thrill and conclusion in less than 60 seconds. That means more races, more bets, and more chances to win in the same amount of time.

  • Regular Scheduling – Greyhound tracks run multiple races a day, often in quick succession, so there’s always something happening. On MyWinners, you can switch between U.S. and international meetings to keep the action going around the clock.

  • Clear Form and Data – Greyhound race cards are simple to read. Key stats like trap numbers, sectional times, win percentages, and recent performance are all displayed clearly, making it easier to make informed decisions.

  • Variety of Bets – You can keep it simple with a win, place, or show bet, or explore more complex wagers like exactas, trifectas, and superfectas for bigger payouts. There’s flexibility for both casual players and those who like to build strategies.

  • Global Reach – At MyWinners, you’re not limited to your local track. You can follow and bet on greyhound races from leading venues in the U.S., Ireland, the UK, and Australia, all from one secure platform.

  • Community and Atmosphere – Betting on greyhound racing is just as much about the shared experience. Whether you’re watching with friends at a Winners venue or chatting online with fellow players, the buzz of anticipation is contagious.
