Here at William Hill, you’ll find ante-post greyhounds betting for all the sport’s main finals across the UK and Ireland. 

We’ve got free-to-air coverage on William Hill Betting TV and a dedicated Greyhound radio service.

So, from the hare running to the dogs passing the post, William Hill brings you all the latest greyhound odds. 

That includes betting on greyhound racing from 21 tracks in the UK, and tracks in Ireland, including Mullingar, Tralee and Youghal.

Bet on the Greyhound Derby

The Derby was first held in 1927 and has taken place at White City, Wimbledon and, more recently, Towcester. In 2019, the top greyhound betting event of the year moved to Nottingham.

Betting on greyhounds with William Hill

With six dogs in each race, you can place win-only or each-way bets. And, there’s a chance to land forecasts, reverse forecasts, tricasts and combination tricasts.

• Forecast – A bet on two dogs to finish first and second, in a certain order.

• Reverse forecast – A variation on a straight forecast, where you pick two greyhounds to finish first or second in any order. As you are making an extra bet, you’ll pay double the stake of a straight forecast.

• Tricast – You pick three dogs to finish first, second and third in the correct order.

• Combination tricast – Your three selections can finish first, second and third in any order. That’s six combinations; so, a £1 stake would cost £6.

To give you better odds on greyhound racing, we offer three Bet Boosts every day to use on singles.
