Who bets on greyhounds

“among the 3.2% who bet on greyhounds, the average age is not quite 41—younger than the average Facebook website visitor, The Bachelor Australia viewer, or The Man from U.N.C.L.E movie-goer. Much of the lower age average is driven by the overwhelmingly popularity of greyhound racing among 25-34 year-olds.”

“Betting — on horse races, trotting, greyhound races and sports — was the third most popular form of gambling, behind buying scratch or lottery tickets and playing poker machines. However of the three, betting has by far the most online participants.”

“Analysing betting patterns over the last year shows a decline in Australians placing bets on Racing events including Horse Racing, Harness Racing and Greyhound Racing while more Australians than a year ago are now betting on Sports. Men are far more likely to bet than women with 12.3% of men in an average three months now having a bet compared to only 6% of women.”
