Winning At the Dog Track Without Dramatics 2008-05-22 07:08:54 When I first started going to the dog track, I loved betting on closers. Not for me the early speed dogs that went off at low odds. Nope. I was the one who bet on the dog that hung back until the last turn, then put on the juice and passed the tiring speedballs that [...] Read more:Track

Winning At the Dog Track With Class 2008-05-21 07:08:09 Greyhound handicapping is all about finding the keys to winning. Class is one of the things that almost everyone says is one of those keys, but that doesn’t mean that everyone agrees on what “class” really is.
To some bettors, “class” means grade. To them, a “class dog” is one who runs in the highest grade [...] Read more:Track

Winning At the Dog Track With Simulcast Races 2008-05-20 07:08:36 The first time I walked into a track where they were simulcasting races, I was like a kid in a candy shop. I hardly knew which track to play first. It cost me almost $20 for programs and when I spread them out on the table, I barely had room for my coffee cup and [...] Read more:Races

Winning At the Dog Track Against the Competition 2008-05-19 07:08:46 To win at the dog track, you have to be better than the average bettor. Because pari-mutuel betting is betting against the other bettors, not the track, it’s the guy or gal next to you that you have to beat, not the announcer or the track owner or managers. (Unless they’re betting too, which shouldn’t [...] Read more:Track

Winning At the Dog Track With Consistency 2008-05-18 07:08:35 Winning greyhounds are consistent greyhounds. In my opinion, if you’re not handicapping for consistency, you’re not going to win at the dog track. When you think about it, consistency is just another word for class. If a greyhound doesn’t run in the money at a certain grade, it drops down. If it wins once [...] Read more:Winning

Winning At the Dog Track By Getting With the Program 2008-05-16 07:08:45 Let’s say you go to the track a couple or a few times a week. You usually meet some friends there and you all have a good time, drinking coffee, sitting together, going over your programs and talking about the dogs. It’s a pleasant way to while away an afternoon or evening, but it’s not [...] Read more:Winning

Winning At the Dog Track With Dogs Who Disappoint 2008-05-15 13:00:48 “Disappointed.” Have you ever seen that term in a dog’s lines on a racing program? Well, it doesn’t mean that the dog was disappointed because it didn’t win, although a lot of bettors probably were. It means that the chartwriter was disappointed in the dog’s performance in that race. This is one of those lines [...] Read more:Winning

Greyhound Handicapping: Winning With Form 2008-05-13 09:18:22 We often hear about dogs being in form or out of form, but what does this really mean? A simple explanation for form is “running well” but there’s more to it than that. I think most handicappers would agree that the definition of form has to include an element of time to mean anything. Dogs [...] Read more:Winning

Winning Enough to Beat the Track Takeout 2008-05-10 12:00:23 If you’re a longtime bettor, you know that the track has a take out, a percentage they take out of each bet. At some tracks, the takeout is as high as 21% on trifectas and other exotic bets, while lower on win, place, show and quiniela bets. At other tracks, Twin Rivers in RI springs [...] Read more:Winning

Winning At the Dog Track For a Living 2008-05-08 08:05:08 Is it possible to make a living at the track? Well, I’d have to say, yes, because I know several people who do just that. How do they do it? That’s the downside to making a living at the track. They work at it - harder than they’d work at a 9-5 job.

Winning At the Dog Track With Connections 2008-05-25 15:35:21 No, not those kind of connections; there’s no godfather of greyhound racing, no matter what anyone tells you. I’m talking about the kind of connections that give you a lot more information than the track program. Access to information that 99% of the other people you’re betting against don’t know about and won’t look [...] Read more:Winning

Winning At the Dog Track With a System 2008-05-29 13:38:10 I sell systems. Right now, I have two for sale, both of which I use myself. Can you win millions if you buy them and use them? I doubt it. Can you improve your handicapping to the point where you can win more money than you lose? I do that with them, consistently. Should you [...] Read more:Winning

Winning At the Dog Track With No Surprises 2008-05-31 10:42:28 Greyhound handicapping is no match for reality, as my friend Willie says.

Winning At The Dog Track With Stakes Races 2008-06-02 05:08:10 A lot of greyhound fans love to watch the cream of the crop race in stakes races. Track

Winning At the Dog Track With A Clue 2008-06-01 05:08:31 This week at the track, I was standing in line ready to place a bet.

“So who do you like to [...] Read more:Winning

Winning At the Dog Track Fashionably 2008-06-03 05:08:52 Not that I think that dog tracks should have dress codes, but I can tell you that fashion can have a big effect on handicapping the greyhounds. What you wear and your accessories can mean the difference between winning at the dog track and losing your (alligator festooned) shirt.
Now, no one could accuse me of [...] Read more:Winning

Winning At the Dog Track With “T” Races 2008-06-04 05:08:50 Any dog track program will tell you how greyhounds are graded.

Winning At the Dog Track On A Budget 2008-06-08 05:08:52 Times are tough for greyhound handicappers and everyone else who lives on a fixed income. With gas, groceries and everything else going up, for some of us, it’s hard to come up with the money to make a few bets.

Winning At The Dog Track Without Getting Disqualified 2008-06-10 06:35:35 My friend, Willie and I were talking the other day about how often we’ve bet on a dog and had it get bumped by another dog, which is pretty discouraging.

Greyhound Handicapping: How Important is Time? 2008-06-15 08:35:49 As the song goes, “Fast horses win races” and so do fast dogs. So maybe we’re all over-complicating this handicapping thing. Maybe we should just go to the dog track, pick the fastest dog in each race and play it to win. Many people do just that, but I don’t think you’ll find them cashing [...] Read more:Greyhound
Greyhound Handicapping: How Important Is Post Position? 2008-06-17 05:08:55 It doesn’t take too long for greyhound handicappers to figure out that the best post positions at almost all dog tracks are the 1, 2, 3, and 8 boxes. If you look at the statistics in the program, you’ll find that the three inside positions and the far outside one account for way more dogs [...] Read more:Greyhound
Greyhound Handicapping: How Important Are Kennel Statistics? 2008-06-19 05:08:55 There’s usually a hot kennel at any dog track.
