I'm still convinced there is a loophole in the dogs in SA. Dev keeps saying greyhound racing is illegal in South Africa. But is greyhound racing from the UK illegal in South Africa. No, its not. For me, it is not illegal to back greyhound racing from UK but it would be illegal to back greyhound racing from SA. Or, have I gone around the twist?

Mac is it just not greyhound racing that's banned ? Not the backing off greyhounds

Just when I thought that I may have something going I found this from scholars.law.unlv.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cg...cle=1011&context=glj page 80 and 81 last para, B the current legal position in South Africa: "dog racing in South Africa is prohibited by provincial legislation, and betting on dog racing is prohibited by both National and some provincial legislation (The ordinances being the Abolition of Dog Race Meetings and the Prohibition of Betting on Dog Races Ordinance No 4 of 1949 in the Transvaal). What I find interesting is that it is quite specific that it is only applicable to the Transvaal. The other ordinances respective to the provinces only refer to the abolition of dog racing not the prohibition of betting (see top of page 81).

Furthermore, www.thedti.gov.za/news2011/Gambling_review.pdf (page 145) although illegal, greyhounds are
raced in South Africa, primarily in the Free State, where enthusiasts have exploited a loophole in the relevant Provincial Ordinance which defines an illegal dog race as one in which spectators are present thus allowing for the highly improbable event of spectator-free amateur racing on which no bets are placed. Racing is held on Saturdays and, like horseracing, it has its own annual "ARCSA" awards. The main racecourses are in Welkom (Goldfields), Soutpan (Elite), Bloemfontein (Central), Deneysville (Vaal) and Potchefstroom (Tokkelos). Despite being illegal the authorities have not stopped them and these races sometimes attract local corporate sponsorship.

Ugh anyway ... interesting reading especially the history of the scrupulous British robbing workers from their Friday paypackets...
