Britbet provides technology to its greyhound racetrack partners which gives them the option of placing seeding bets into the britbet greyhound pools. The aim of this is to create initial base liquidity which helps to provide indicative guide prices to improve the customer experience and endeavours to provide greater pool stability. All such bets are placed in accordance with the britbet pool betting rules and will only use information that is available to other customers.
On greyhounds, the seeding applies to single leg pools only including Win, Place, Exacta and Trifecta. There is no seeding on multi-leg pools such as the Pick 4 or Pick 6.
The seeding takes place typically 30-60 minutes before race 1 and then c15-20 minutes before each race thereafter. Once the seed bets are placed on each race at these times, no further seed bets are placed on that race.
The amount of seeding varies by track/pool but is typically £100-£300 per pool.
The seeding bets placed into the greyhound pools make a net loss overall, but the racetracks choose to do this to improve the customer offering.
Winning tickets should be claimed on the day or at a future meeting from any window at one of our racecourses.
Alternatively If you wish to claim winnings via post, please send the original ticket along with your full contact and payment details to:
