but surely its the general public/spectators who give their money to the bookies who then take their bets?yes the bookies make money from it but its not their money its the publics.without the public the bookies wouldnt be taking any money.and if the general public were made more aware of what REALLY goes on in greyhound racing and how many dogs are put to sleep every year then maybe they would choose to spend their money elsewhere.its the same old story.EDUCATION. :thumbsup:greyhoundp said:As a recent kennelhand at a greyhound Trainers its not the spectators that keep the racing going its the Bookies, if you took the bookies away from the Greyhounds, in other words the income the greyhound racing receives from the Bookies there would be no more racing, that i guarantee. I believe it is somwhere around £6 million pounds that the Bookies pays to greyhound racing, so how much are the Bookies making out of greyhound racing??, millions upon millions.what really happens in this sport then there would be a big boycott of it
