Note: The information below is no longer relevant as the Wonderland Greyhound Park is no longer operational. The purpose of this information is to serve as a historic guide as to the way the wagering used to work at Wonderland.
The track has no financial interest in the outcome of the race, we simply hold the money, returning the winner's shares in accordance with state laws.
How it works:
Wagers made at the track are placed into individual betting pools: i.e. Win, Place, Show, Quiniela, etc. Each wager offered has its own betting pool. The race track serves as an agent, or broker, withholding the established "take-out." This take-out is divided among the state, purses for greyhound owners and the race track. The monies remaining in each betting pool is returned to the winning ticket holders.
Greyhound racing is considered by many to be the most consistent and predictable form of racing. Purchasing a ticket on your greyhound selections and cheering them on to victory is fun and exciting.
Wagering on the greyhounds is easy!
How to bet:
State your wager in this order:
Examples:
I'd like $2 to Win on # 5
I'd like a $2 Quiniela box on # 1, # 4 and # 8.
Remember to check your tickets and count your money before leaving the mutuel window. Claims that a wrong ticket has been punched must be made prior to your leaving the window. Tickets cannot be changed or cancelled after leaving the mutuel window.
Hold all tickets until the race has been declared official by the Judges. No claims will be honored for mutilated, lost or destroyed tickets.
Advance Betting
Advance betting is available daily for all tracks. Individual race tickets may be purchased from the time the Mutuel windows open until closing time (approximately 2:00 a.m.)
Program Accuracy
Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of our program. Track management is not responsible however for errors that might occur. In the event of an error in the official program, the announcer will broadcast any corrections. The call of the Announcer is not final, only the Judges' decision is final.
Incomplete Transactions
WGP assumes no responsibility for transactions not completed before the tote machines are locked. Please wager early to avoid being shut out.
How the Odds Are Determined
Odds for each starter in a race (horse or dog) is an indication of its popularity in comparison with others in the race. Odds are calculated by dividing the amount wagered on a given dog or horse into the total amount wagered, less the take-out
