Greyhounds

There are various price types associated with Greyhound Racing.

EP (Early Price): Early prices are those offered before the 1st official show from the Greyhound track.

BP (Board Price): Board prices are the latest odds from the Greyhound track where the race is being staged and are compiled by officials taking an average of the prices offered at that time by on-course bookmakers.

SP (Starting Price): Starting prices are the final odds returned from the Greyhound track, which are compiled by officials taking an average of the final price offered by on-course bookmakers at the start of a race.

AP (Ante-Post Price): See section 6.5 for details on ante-post betting.
Any bets placed on a greyhound at an early or board price will be deemed to be on the named greyhound, even if that greyhound is defined as a Trap Number. Should there be a non-runner, then all bets placed at an early or board price up to the time the greyhound is withdrawn will be settled at SP. Once the market has been reformed, further bets will be accepted and stand at the new odds or starting price, providing there are no further non-runners.
If a bet is placed on a named greyhound or trap number at an early or board price and that greyhound is a non-runner, bets on that selection will be void, irrespective of whether or not a reserve runs.
If a bet is placed on a Trap Number at SP, then bets stand on that trap number, even if the original greyhound is a non-runner and a reserve runs in its place. Where possible, we will endeavour to show when a reserve greyhound is running. All bets placed on a named greyhound which does not run (except ante-post bets) will be treated as non-runners.
Trap Challenge: Prices are offered for each trap to win the most races at one selected meeting or alternatively at two or more selected greyhound meetings combined. If 3 or more races in a Trap Challenge are not run for any reason (void race, meeting abandoned etc.), then that Trap Challenge will be void unless the winner has already been determined at that stage. The Trap Challenge is unaffected by reserves or vacant traps. If a race finishes as a dead heat, each trap will receive a ‘half-win’ (three-way dead heat ‘one third-win’ etc.). If two or more traps record the same number of wins, dead heat rules apply.
Re-Run Races: Where a race has been declared void and is re-run, all bets will stand for the greyhounds that take part in the re-run. Prices returned on the re-run will govern the settlement. ‘Show Prices’ laid on void races will not be valid for a re-run race, and such bets will be settled at the returned Starting Price. A re-run greyhound race is taken in the order which it was originally placed in the programme, irrespective of the time at which it was re-run.
Where a race has been declared void and is not re-run, all bets for that race will be made void. In multiple bets, any selection in a void race will be counted as a non-runner.
Winning Distances: Distance markets may be available at certain meetings. The maximum make up per race is 10 lengths. If any race is not run or is declared void and not re-run, then all bets will be void, unless the winner of the market has already been determined.
