A lot of times, they’re happy to see that they’ve picked more winners than they usually do, which makes them think that their system is hot [...]

Handicap Greyhound – dog play to win the most logical
08/10/2011
Greyhound handicapping isn’t an exact science, but it does often hinge on logic. For instance, if a dog has had 20 races, placed in ten and run out of the money in the rest of them, would you consider it a good win bet? Well, even though there are some people – born optimists, I [...]
Greyhound handicap – Bets
07/10/2011
My bet of choice is the four-dog quiniela box. When I finish handicapping the program, I figure out how many playable races there are and then decide if I want to bet all of them, based on how much I feel comfortable spending. True, I’m a conservative bettor. My idea of a wild bet is [...]
Handicap Greyhound – how to split a losing streak
04/10/2011
We’ve all had them. Losing streaks are pretty depressing, especially if you don’t know why you’re having one. All of a sudden, you stop hitting winners and start picking losers. It seems like the universe is laughing at you by making your dogs fall down on the turn, get bumped on the break and fade [...]
Secret Handicap Greyhound essential

I admit it. I’m slow. But even I caught on to the secret of winning at the Greyhound track. True, it was only because I overheard someone else say it, but still. When I heard it, I had the sense to stop and listen and think about it. The secret? It’s simple: Pick the best [...]
Handicap Greyhound – In the spot, do you play the system?
29/09/2011
Spot plays systems have gotten a bad name. To most people, they’re just mechanical systems that pick dogs based on a special situation that tells you that the dog is going to win. You’d have to be pretty stupid to believe that something like that exists, now wouldn’t you? Except that Spot Play systems CAN [...]
Handicap Greyhound – Please do not go off the rails.
14/09/2011
Handicapping a Greyhound program can be overwhelming. There’s so much information that it’s hard to take it all in, never mind analyze it and use it to pick winners. For instance, there’s post position. Many people think it’s more important than any other factor. Then you bump into someone who thinks it doesn’t matter at [...]
Handicap, the Greyhound – The location is better than winning bet bet?
14/09/2011
Do you bet dogs to win? Do you play them to win and place? How about show? We all have our preferred wagers, but most of us pretty much stick to one type of bet for our non-exotic plays. I used to only put my money on win, ignoring place and show. Then I realized [...]
Handicap Greyhound – a simple system speed B
14/09/2011
While every Greyhound handicapper has a different opinion, most consider early speed a factor in picking winners. There are many ways to find it, including complicated calculations and computer software programs. I’ve actually seen people stand at the first turn to clock first to turn times in every race. Me, I don’t have that much [...]
Greyhound handicap – it's lonely at the top "
13/09/2011
During the 30 years I go to follow the dog, have a lot of people make a living betting on dogs affected me. They came to me, of course, there was no need to declare it. I found them on the line every day and talk with them, listening, observing how they use and how [...]
