Knowing About First Four Bet Type Often Heard About In Greyhound Racing News

 Greyhound racing is the second most bet upon racing code in Australia and has a massive following across the country. Greyhound racing is conducted in every Australian state and territory and is prized for its short turnaround on a punter’s investment. The First Four as a bet type is perhaps the ultimate wager on the TAB and is probably most challenging to achieve as it is popular in greyhound racing news.

What is a First 4 bet?

 A First 4 bet type is selecting the runners that will be 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th in order in a particular race. To increase your chances of winning the greyhound races, you also can take several First 4 bets by marking multiple selections in any of the finishing positions.

If all selections are put in the first column, this creates an Always First 4, meaning your racers can finish in any order for the bet to be successful. The First 4 betting is available on selected races nominated by TABtouch.

How much does a First Four cost?

First Fours can be as cheap as $1 for a complete unit or even more expensive, where several additional winning combinations are also included.

A Straight First Four is the cheapest and the hardest - of all, as a punter can only make one selection for each position and needs to tip the first four greyhounds home in order. On the other hand, a Boxed First Four - which allows the horses to finish in any order - with the same number of selections will cost a minimum of $24 due to the increased number of winning combinations in greyhound racing news.

Whichever First Four type you choose, the cost of the First Four will increase for every possible winning combination, so Boxed First Fours and Standout First Fours represent a much more costly proposition than Straight First Fours. However, the bonus is they can significantly enhance your chance of winning depending on the number of combinations.
