Many years ago I would go to race tracks just by having a passionate interest in the greyhound, I found myself backing dogs for the sake of the bet.  The results were negative on most occasions and I would finish loosing until I began to study and realize the folly of reckless betting.

In future I would set myself a maximum wager of say €5 per race – in the event of a win your bet on the proceeding races you should revert to your original wager of €5.

Do not be avaricious by plundering everything on the next wage!  This will give you the opportunity of putting with your winnings with an average chance of profit.

I have no idea about horse racing form however I do know the professional punters can delve into each race using their skill with good results,  the same applies to greyhound racing.

Taking into account the each dogs racing form at a first glance of the racing card,  look at:

   1. Age - A young dog will usually improve where an older one could remain stable if over 3 years of age.
   2. Weight
   3. Recent and former running
   4. Dog or a bitch (male or female)
   5. Suitable trap draw
   6. Track - there is a difference in the going of every track,  finding out this information and compare one against the other.
   7. Season - A greyhound will clock faster times in Summer, particularly July & August whereas they will run slower around November & December.

Bitches could run a fast pace in March then come into season which means a spell of about 3 months without competing, after which she will need at least two outings before showing the same performance again.  Female greyhounds are more capable of performing well into their fourth year.

I am happy to share my knowledge with you via this website so make sure to visit regularly.

Wishing you every success,
