Greyhound Dog Racing Tips.
No matter how good you are at picking winning dogs, sometimes your bets don't come in. What you do when that happens can make or break your handicapping career.
If you just chalk it up to bad luck and go on to the next race, you might be missing something important. The biggest reason handicapping fails is because of trouble. That's right. It's not because you have trouble handicapping. It's because of trouble in the race.
Trouble calls after a dog's lines in a race indicate that either that dog caused trouble or was on the receiving end of trouble from another dog. Maybe it got bumped. Maybe it bumped into another dog. It could have run up behind another dog and onto it when the other dog slowed down.
Whenever there's trouble in a race that upsets your handicapping efforts, you should pay attention to what exactly happened. If you do that, you'll have an idea as to whether the trouble could have been anticipated when you handicapped the race.
If that's the case, you'll want to be aware of that kind of possible trouble in future races. If it wasn't something a handicapper could have anticipated, then there's nothing you can do about it, so moving on to the next race is the logical thing to do.
If you're a reasonably good handicapper, most of the time "trouble calls" will be behind your losing bets. It's the biggest cause of losing at the dog track and something that we can do nothing about, unfortunately. When dogs are racing at speeds of up to 45 mph, there's bound to be some trouble in some of the races.
Just be sure that you put enough time and effort into your handicapping, so that when you lose, it won't be for lack of trying on your part.
