Greyhound Tips
For racing taking place at Romford on Wednesday 30th April
This evening we head to the London Road circuit Romford with three selections for whichbookie readers. Catch all the action live on the dedicated Attheraces greyhound website, via the Sky Sports Racing red button or on bookmakers streaming services.
The A11 graded race at 8.19 over the four-bend 400 metre trip at Romford can go to youngster RUN FREDA RUN who lines up from T2. The Martin Wiley trained July 23 daughter of Tenpin caught my eye last time out on what was only her third run, following a tardy exit from the boxes and an early bump Freda showed nice pace throughout and hinted that she will be above this grade granted a clear run. This evening its all eyes on the break, if she traps better and grabs the rails she will prove hard to beat. Knockna Bingo rates as the danger from T5, she can show early pace and could be the one to challenge our selection into the corner.
8.19 Romford Greyhound Betting Tip – RUN FREDA RUN (T2) – 1 Point win 3/1 with Bet365
The six-bend S3 graded race at 8.54 can go to improving youngster HOLLYWOOD LILLY who runs from T1. The May 23 daughter of Explosive Boy bolted up on 575 metre debut last time out leading at the fifth ben before powering clear. Tonight, if she gets it right at the boxes she has a chance to lead off the second bend, do that and its race on. Bish Bosh Bashy (T5) has kept good company in recent weeks and looks the main danger. Young Velvet (T6) is three from seven in this grade and could attract support from what looks an excellent draw out in T6.
8.54 Romford Greyhound Betting Tip – HOLLYWOOD LILLY (T1) – 1 Point win 6/4 with Bet365
The third and final selection this evening is DROOPYS SAOIRSE (T1) in the A2 graded race at 9.28. The Paul Young trained railer is a solid course an distance performer with a record of three from ten in this grade. Tonight, if Saoirse brings her trapping boots she can hold the rails and hit the back straight on the bunny. Once in the lead shes a 24.10 type of performer, a repeat of that should see her take this. Zenith Legend (T3) is very lightly raced and is worth noting in the market. Fiacres Pal (T5) is another who will be improving in the coming weeks and could well prove to be an open class performer rather than running in graded action this summer.

Which Bookies Should I Bet On Greyhounds With?
If you are following Michael’s greyhound picks, he’ll recommend a bookmaker to use. However, you are free to use any greyhound betting site that you wish. Michael will usually suggest the bookie that is offering the best odds at the time he publishes his tips but as prices can change frequently, you may wish to compare them between several bookies when you come to place your bet.
It may also be that the recommended bookmaker has an offer or promotion available that is worth taking advantage of such as Best Odds Guaranteed or a Refund if 2nd.
How Much Should I Bet?
This is entirely up to yourself.
Although we recommend a bookmaker to use, we don’t advise on stakes. This is because everyone’s betting balance is different and you should only stake what you’re comfortable with.
When Are The Greyhound Tips Published?
Greyhound racing takes place on most days of the week and so you can expect to find daily greyhound tips for the days racing ahead.
Today’s greyhound tips will be published above but you may also find predictions for races taking place in the days ahead.
Can You Stream Greyhound Racing Online?
Watching greyhound races online is easy thanks to several bookmakers offering live streaming services.
Bet365 is our recommended bookie to watch live sports with as they cover a huge range of events on a daily basis and have extensive greyhound racing streams available.
Betting On Greyhound Racing
Betting on the dogs has been around since 1926, and it’s just as popular now as it was back then. There are many online greyhound bookies to choose from.
However, some bookmakers offer a much better greyhound betting service than others. So if you want the best odds, offers and results, you need to make sure you’re betting at the right place!
Betting on greyhound racing is similar to horse racing betting in that the markets are very much the same.
There is the option to back a runner to win or to place and most greyhound bookies give customers the options of a straight forecast, reverse forecast, straight tricast or combination tricast.
Although the bet types are similar to horse racing, being able to pick a winner in a greyhound race certainly takes a different set of skills. Not everyone follows greyhound racing and that’s where greyhound tipsters such as WhichBookie’s Michael Smyth can help.
Greyhound Betting Sites
There are a few bookmakers who do greyhound racing really well. An honourable mention goes to William Hill. But if you asked us to pick the one bookmaker that is best for greyhound racing, it would have to be bet365.
Bet365 Greyhounds coverage is second to none. As you’d expect, they have markets on every race in the UK. But unlike some other bookies, they also have early prices on all live races. Plus there’s best odds guaranteed and live streaming – see below for more details.

Dog Racing Tips
Dog racing takes place on every day of the week, all year round, at dog tracks around the country which often makes it a more appealing sport to bet on compared to the likes of football, rugby, basketball and NFL.
Given the number of races taking place throughout the year, it can be hard to stay up to date with the form and results on individual greyhounds. That’s where our dog racing tips can help you. Instead of having to follow all of the races, you can leave that up to our dog racing expert Michael Smyth who has been tipping winners for several years. Michael is a greyhound owner himself and follows the sport very closely in a bid to pick out some value bets that he can share with WhichBookie followers.
Michael’s dog racing tips are available throughout the week for races taking place at various UK tracks including Romford, Nottingham, Monmore, Hove, Crayford and more.
Best Odds Guaranteed On Greyhounds
You’ll find plenty of bookies that offer best odds guaranteed, however this is normally only for horse racing. Some bookmakers do this for greyhounds as well, and it’s an offer well worth having. You can take an early price on any dog, and if the SP is higher, you get paid at the higher price.
See below for a list of top UK bookmakers that offer Best odds Guaranteed on greyhound racing.

Live Greyhound Racing
Unlike many horse races, greyhound races take a matter of seconds with common race distances being between just 550 – 660 yards. This can make watching live greyhound racing extremely exciting. Also, races generally take place just minutes apart from each other and so once one race has finished, another is set to begin.
Many of the top greyhound bookies offer live greyhound streaming which allows customers to watch the races and bet on them too. Live streams of greyhound races are available with bookmakers such as Betfred, William Hill, Paddy Power and our recommended bookie, Bet365.
Bet365 provide live greyhound racing streams every day for races across the UK, Ireland and other parts of the world. They also offer extremely competitive odds as well as Best Odds Guaranteed on all races.
Racing Post Greyhounds
The Racing Post is a go-to destination for many greyhound punters. Not only does the Racing Post list all upcoming races but they also provide insightful information on each of the runners.
You’ll find information on the recent form of each of the runners in every listed race as well as helpful stats such as the dogs performances at the track they are running at, their trap record, record in particular classes and much more.
On top of the stats, Racing Post greyhound tips are also available for each race and they’re completely free. Although we recommend tracking the results of the selections made by our own greyhound tipster, Michael Smyth, it’s always good to compare the records of multiple greyhound experts.
If you’re looking to place forecast or tricast bets, the Racing Post greyhound predictor can be a helpful tool. Based on their statistics of each dog, along with their greyhound tips, they provide a simulation of the race which displays in which position they predict each dog to finish.
Tips On Choosing A Good Greyhound Bookie
As we mentioned earlier, if you plan to spend a lot of time betting on greyhounds then you need to choose a bookmaker that can cater for your needs. Our recommendations above is the best place to start. However if you want to look at some other options as well, we’ve compiled a quick checklist of what you need to look for.
The best greyhound bookies will:
- Offer markets on all greyhound races, with competitive odds.
- Include form and speed ratings within their website, to help you make your selections.
- Offer live streaming so you can watch the race after you’ve placed your bet.
- Give Best Odds Guaranteed so you can take an early price with confidence and still get paid out at higher odds if the SP is higher.
