    Best sportsbook for greyhounds?

    Ive been reading alot of the reviews here. I noticed that BetUs is considered a bad, fradulent sportsbook so im very hesistant to go with them. But they offer an amazing variety of dog tracks, including my local Flagler dog track which is the one I really want to bet on. Any dog players have any advice about the best REPUTABLE sportsbook to play dogs on?


    Also it wouldnt hurt if it had good Formula 1 and NASCAR odds, as BetUS also had an amazing number of prop bets for these sports which I would love to play.

    Any info would be greatly appreciated!

    Very few books offer US dogs. I think other than betus there is maybe 2 or 3 shops around that do, who cater to a US client base.
    One thing to remember check the max payout rules on the dog tracks.
    They will be much much lower than at the track.
    At the shop where I work we offer it mainly as a courtesy to our players that might want to bet it from time to time. But I will be the first one to say the limits are LOW and the max payout even LOWER. My advice, go to flagler to play the hounds. And use the offshores for your sports.

    Why not play at a ADW so you get full payouts on exotics?

    I thought more offered it... I know most the euro books do, however, no US tracks.
    at any of the ff family of books the rules and payouts will be the same http://www.youwager.com/help/sportsbook-horse-wagering
    Like I said though... payouts are pretty low for dogs, if that's your game of interest you can and should do better.
    I am surprised I couldn't find any other info for books that offer it as well

    I have a hard time understanding how any book could offer US greyhound betting in they are not in the parimutuel pool . I used to live near an active greyhound track (at least by US standards), and a $100 win wager on an average race would move the odds considerably.

    do you use youwager.com, C.S.? Are they considered reputable?

    also what do you guys think of those american sites that offer only horse and greyhound betting, premierturfclub.com being one of them. Im most tempted by them but im not sure about the reputation. I admit i am completely new to the online betting thing.

    Servo,
    Hands down go to dayatthetrack.com. Have been using them for years and they are the best site online for greyhound and horse betting. Let me know if you have any questions. All withdrawals are free and the first is a little wait (5 days I think), but after that money is in account a day or two after withdrawal request. Customer service is great I cannot say enough good things about them.

    dayatthetrack has been great for me, if you are in the US. Legal, and the money goes into the pools -- but you also get the dreaded W-2G if you hit big.

    Thanks mtneer1212. Can you still use this site if you are from a state that does not allow horse or greyhound racing? I know TVG.com is very strict about this.

    nope -- they use a third party to check your residency.

    ADW"s are licensed by States not by the US government and if you look at sites like YouBet,TwinSpires they will say licensed in Oregon. I would be careful with these guys.

    DATT is 100% legit. I have withdrawn about $600 the last couple days money in my account in a day or two nothing to worry about. I wish there was 1 sportsook as good as DATT.
