What is a forecast and tricast in greyhound racing?

A forecast bet requires you to predict the first two finishers in a race in the correct order. A straight forecast names one dog for first and another for second; a reverse forecast covers both possible orders but costs twice the stake. A tricast extends the challenge to the top three finishers in exact order. Because getting the precise finishing order right is harder than simply picking a winner, forecast and tricast dividends are typically much larger than win-bet payouts. Dividends are calculated either via a Computer Straight Forecast formula (CSF) or from a totalisator pool, depending on the operator. In a six-runner greyhound race, the tricast has 120 possible permutations, which is why returns can be significant even when the placed dogs are not long-priced individually. The dividends displayed in tonight's results represent the return to a £1 unit stake.

Which UK greyhound tracks race tonight?

The specific tracks racing on any given evening depend on the SIS schedule, which rotates fixtures across the 18 GBGB-licensed stadiums. On a typical weeknight, two or three tracks will host evening meetings, each running 12 races from approximately 18:30 to 22:00. Common evening venues include Romford (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), Sheffield (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday), Monmore, Newcastle, Hove, and Nottingham, though exact schedules shift seasonally and are confirmed by SIS and The Racing Partnership each week. The best way to confirm tonight's specific fixtures is to check the daily schedule on a results platform or the SIS fixture list. Morning and afternoon cards — primarily BAGS fixtures for the betting market — run alongside the evening programme, meaning there can be racing at multiple tracks throughout the day even if only two or three host evening meetings.
