How to Make Money at the Dog Track With Hunches


Greyhound Dog Racing Tips.

Some people are just plain lucky. Whether it's coincidence or whether it's lucky vibes or intuition or whatever, some people seem to have all the luck. They look at the dogs before the race and say that the 3 dog is going to win, and it does. Or they say the favorite doesn't have a chance and it loses, even though it looked like the best dog in the race.

Why does this happen? That's a good question. Unfortunately, after a lifetime of trying to figure it out, I'm no closer to offering an explanation. What I do know, though, is that we all have the ability to use our intuition to some degree. Most of us don't listen to that little voice that tells us that something is going to happen, but maybe we should.

I'm not talking about only playing numbers or guessing or throwing dice and playing those numbers. I'm talking about those solid hunches we get every once in awhile that pan out. You've had them. Everyone has. All of a sudden, you feel almost certain that something is going to happen - and it does.

It's probably because of little things we've noticed and haven't consciously thought of, but whyever it happens, it works. Well, let's be honest. It works some of the time. This is why hunches can be a double-edged sword. When they work, it's wonderful and we remember how well they worked.

But when they don't work, we tend to forget that they didn't work. So, the next time we have a hunch, we remember all the times our hunches paid off and forget when they didn't. This is why, in order to make money with your hunches, you have to be selective and conservative.

The only time you should bet a hunch is when you're far enough ahead so that the bet won't affect your bankroll to any big extent. For instance, a $2 win bet when you're $40 ahead is one thing. A $24 trifecta wheel when you're only ahead by a few dollars is not a good bet.

You should also consider whether hunches fit into the greyhound handicapping system you use. If you use a flexible system, this might work, but older, more rigid systems don't have any room for hunches.
