If
you are visiting us for the first time visit, or visit us even once in
awhile, we would like to thank you for coming out to see some of the
most exciting action on the Seacoast.
Part of the fun of going to Seabrook Greyhound Park is the wagering.
Most of the people that wager at the Park, "play" their favorite number
or color or name. It's great fun to watch the race and follow your dog
as they streak by you at over 45 miles per hour! It's even more fun
when the race is over and you are holding a winning ticket!
The odds are better than the lottery and you get to see great racing
action. The Park can be great fun for you and your friends and
can be, "A Real Change Of Pace."
It you have never placed a bet before, don't worry it's easy! Just go to a betting window, and purchase a ticket.
Ask for your bet in this order:
1. Amount ($) of Your Bet
NOT THE TOTAL, just the base figure. For instance, $2 Quiniela, $1 Trifecta box, etc.
2. Type of Bet (Click on the betting terms below to learn more about
each. A pop-up window will appear for each term. Make sure
to disable any pop-up blocking software you may have enabled to view
each term.)
3. Program Number of Greyhound(s)
QUINIELAS: Lower numbers first (2-4)
TRIFECTAS: Exact order you want your greyhounds to finish (4-1-2)
BOXING: Low numbers first (1-2-4)
WHEELING: Specify whether you want your key greyhound to finish first
(on top, 5-all-all). Second (in the middle, all-5-all, or Third (on the
bottom, all-all-5)
4. Minimum Wagers
$2 is the smallest total bet you may make. However, $1 is the base bet
on some multiple bets even though they will cost more because of the
amount of possible winning combinations. Example: The $1 Trifecta
3-greyhound Box minimum cost is $6 because it has 6 possible winning
bets.
The $1 wagers are: Trifecta Box, Trifecta Key, Trifecta Wheel, Trifecta
Part Wheel. On these $1 base bets, your winning payoff will be one half
of the $2 payoff.
5. When you Collect
WIN, PLACE, SHOW-Win means to run first to win the race. Your greyhound
must win the race for you to win. Place means to run EITHER first, or
second. You win if your choice finishes either first or second. Show
means to run EITHER first, second or third. You win If your choice
finishes first, second or third.
6. Hold Onto Your Tickets!
WAIT FOR OFFICIAL SIGN - Patrons are cautioned to hold mutuel tickets
until after the red light, or signal signifying the official placing of
the dogs, has been made. No claim will be entertained for tickets
thrown away, mutilated or destroyed.
7. Cash & Bet at the Same Time
You may make single bets, or a variety of bets of all types, and cash winning tickets - all in one visit.
Caution:Always present winning tickets first when you plan to bet with
the proceeds. Mutilated tickets will not go through the payoff slot of
the totalisator terminal.

during the progress of the betting.

9. Program
The program contains valuable information which will help you wager
more intelligently. It tells you how a greyhound raced in his/her most
recent starts, at what grade, and against what competition. A
greyhound's previous performances are the best indication of how he/she
may perform today.
(4) The Grade:
Races are graded A, B, C, D, E, and M (maiden, non-winner).
Statistically, an A graded greyhound dropping to B grade has a better
chance of winning than a B upgraded to grade A
(5) Seabrook Record:
This Shows the number of times the greyhound has finished in the money (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th) versus the number of starts.
