# Betting on greyhound racing from Ireland: markets and settlement rules > Greyhound racing betting in Ireland: win, forecast, tricast and tote bets, how combination costs add up, and which operator rules are still to be verified. Source: https://bookieledger.com/sport/greyhound-racing/ Updated: 2026-11-07 Greyhound racing bets on Irish betting sites include win, forecast, tricast and pooled tote bets, and each operator's own rules set how non-runners and combination returns are settled. TDCO Limited, trading as Tote, appears on the GRAI register according to our research notes. No operator wording is recorded yet. ## Which greyhound racing bets exist? - **Win.** The selection finishes first. - **Forecast.** First and second in the stated order. - **Reverse forecast.** First and second in either order, placed as two bets. - **Tricast.** First, second and third in the stated order. - **Tote.** Pooled bets paid from the pool, not at fixed odds. Names and availability differ by operator. **Bottom line:** win, forecast and tricast bets are the core menu; tote bets are pooled. ## How is the cost of a combination counted? Example with invented figures: a reverse forecast on two dogs is two bets. At €2.00 a bet it costs €4.00. A combination tricast on three dogs covers six orders (3 × 2 × 1). At €1.00 a bet it costs €6.00. The total is the unit stake multiplied by the number of bets covered. **Bottom line:** cost is the unit stake times the number of combinations. ## What rules can change a payout? Operators' rules cover non-runners, reserve dogs and what happens when a race is void. They also state how forecast and tricast returns are calculated. None of this wording has been recorded yet. The fields to record are in the [settlement rules table](https://bookieledger.com/data/cash-out-and-settlement-rules/). **Bottom line:** payout rules are operator wording and are still to be read. ## Which licensed operators list greyhound racing? Operator names are candidates, licence to be confirmed on the GRAI register. A cell stays unverified until the operator's own page is read. **Greyhound racing section and rule wording by operator.

Its entry is to be confirmed on publication day: [GRAI licence register](https://www.grai.ie/register/licence-register). **Bottom line:** no operator's greyhound rules are recorded yet. ## Where do race times come from? Race times and venues come from the body that organises greyhound racing in Ireland. Its site has not yet been identified; the source is to be found at the facts stage and rechecked every 7 days. No race time is shown on this page (could not be verified on 7 november 2026). **Bottom line:** the organiser's site is the source for times, and it is not yet named. ## What does this page not cover? Odds are not published here. We did not test any bet. The page does not rank operators for greyhound racing. For the horse-racing equivalent, see [horse racing](https://bookieledger.com/sport/horse-racing/). Sections by operator will appear in the [market coverage table](https://bookieledger.com/sport/market-coverage/). **Bottom line:** no ranking is possible until rules and menus are recorded. ## Safer gambling and help 18+ only.
