Most people choose to gamble through the lottery, poker and casino games but nowadays you really can bet on anything.

As illustrated by this year’s Westminster dog show, which bookmaker TCBets.com is already taking a flurry of bets on from dog-loving punters.

Alongside the main prize of Best in Show, gamblers can bet on almost anything including the types of props the dogs might be using.

David Banks, TCBets CEO, said: “You can bet on which group the ‘Best in Show’ winner will be from. The current favourite is the herding group at 3/1. We offer prop bets such as: Will the winning dog be from east or west of the Mississippi?

“I felt that this would be a great event to bet on. It last two days and has six hours of prime time live coverage on the USA Network.”

He added that the firm had taken over 1,000 bets on the dog show already.
