Gambling on greyhound racing is on the up

At a time when Irish sports gambling enthusiasts may well be concentrating on the horse racing from Royal Ascot, it may be worth having another look at the other sport which concerns animals bred for racing. Horse racing has long been one of Ireland’s favourite sports gambling activities, but it is now clear that gambling on greyhound racing is making a significant comeback amongst race gambling fans. After years of decline the greyhound tracks in Ireland have recently benefited from massive investment, particularly with regard to the hospitality facilities and the greyhound racing fans are flocking back. At the latest count there are now 19 greyhound racing venues all with regular weekly meetings so that there are now greyhound racing cards on almost every night of the week for fans of gambling on the dogs. A night at a greyhound track is now a popular evening out for many greyhound gambling fans, with excellent restaurants and bars and plenty of exciting racing which by its very nature is much easier to watch than horse racing and with much less delay between races. Greyhound racing is also a good sports gambling opportunity away from the track, because many greyhound racing meetings are streamed live in the betting shops and on many online gambling sites. This weekend sees two of the season’s classic races, with Tralee hosting the Race of Champions on Friday and the Irish Oaks being run at Shelbourne Park on Saturday. Grey hound races are always exciting and a surprise result is always on the cards, so if you are a sports gambling fan who enjoys gambling on the horses why not take a look at greyhound racing, we think you’ll enjoy it.
