What is Virtual Greyhounds Betting?

Greyhound racing is one of the most popular choices among punters. But what about when the action stops? If you’re looking for your g reyhound fix in between real-life races, let us here at Betfred Insights guide you through Virtual Greyhounds.

What is it? What markets can I bet on? Is it fair? We have answers to all those questions and more, so join us on the track.

What markets can you bet on in Virtual Greyhounds?

Much like the flesh-and-blood sport, Virtual Greyhounds offers a range of markets beyond just the simple winner’s category.

You can bet on the runner-up or place an each-way bet, as in horse racing. You can also place a Forecast or Tricast bet, where you predict the order the riders will finish. Tipster’s Favourites are available in these categories as well as predictions. 

How does it work?

Races take place frequently, usually every three minutes. This allows the punter more options than traditional Greyhound Racing, where the races are far less frequent. Due to its virtual nature, the races are never postponed or cancelled. 

Our dogs never withdraw either, a consequence of their fictional nature. Rather than virtual counterparts of real-life greyhounds, our virtual version includes fictional dogs created just for the game.

Despite their existence elsewhere in the multiverse, players can get a full rundown of each dog including predicted position and win returns. 

You can watch the race unfold for that air of authenticity or, if you prefer, you can skip straight to the result. 

Is it fair?

Virtual Greyhounds, as with all our virtual games, is completely fair. A third-party body rigorously checks our games, which are operated via a random number generator to ensure a fair result. 

A consequence of the game’s virtual nature is the fact there is no form guide to study. With the greyhounds being fictional, there are no real-life factors to base their potential performance off. This gives Virtual Greyhounds an element of pot-luck. 

It is a less detailed betting experience, but offers pick-up-and-play simplicity for the punter. You needn’t have knowledge of the sport of greyhound racing to play.
