When placing a bet on greyhound racing, am I backing the trap or the dog?
When you place a bet on a greyhound race, you are betting on the trap number.
If a reserve runs, your bet transfers to the reserve.
The exception is when an early price has been taken. In this case, if the original selection becomes a non-runner, the stake will be refunded and the reserve will not apply.
Tricasts
Tricast bets, where selections must finish first, second and third in the correct order, are accepted as single bets only.
Any Tricast doubles, trebles, etc., accepted in error will be divided equally into Tricast singles.
Greyhound Tricasts are only accepted on races where a computer Tricast dividend is declared.
If no Tricast dividend is declared, bets will be settled as a computerised Straight Forecast on the selections nominated to finish first and second, with the third-place selection ignored.
What happens if I have a Non-Runner in a Forecast or Tricast?
Forecast Bets
Bet Type | Settlement |
Straight/Reversed Forecast (FC/RFC) with one vacant trap | Total stake void |
Combination Forecast (CFC) with one vacant trap | Forecasts containing the vacant trap are removed and stake is divided among remaining combinations |
Example:
A CFC with four selections (A, B, C, D) contains 12 Forecast bets. If selection D becomes a vacant trap, the bet reduces to the following 6 Forecasts:
AB
AC
BA
BC
CA
CB
The total stake will be divided equally across the remaining selections.
Tricast Bets
Scenario | Settlement |
One vacant trap in a Straight Tricast (TC) | Bet becomes a Straight Forecast (FC) on the remaining two selections |
More than one vacant trap | All stakes void |
One vacant trap in a Combination Tricast | Bets revert to Tricasts where possible and Forecasts for the remaining combinations |
Example:
If selections are A, B, C and B becomes a vacant trap, the bet becomes a Straight Forecast on A and C.
If selections are A, B, C, D and C becomes a vacant trap, the bet becomes:
6 Tricasts: ABD, ADB, BAD, BDA, DAB, DBA
