How to Win at the Dog Track - Honestly


Greyhound Dog Racing Tips.

Everyone loses at the dog track. The trick is to win more than you lose. The people who can do that - and I hope you're one of them - are winners, even if they do lose once in awhile.

Some people won't admit that they lose though. To listen to them talk, you'd think that they never picked a dog who faded in the stretch or backed a favorite that ran out of the money. While they may think that this makes them look good to their friends, they're really only hurting themselves.

Bank balances don't change based on what we say we won at the track. They only change when we really DO win. So telling your friends that you "did okay" when you lost $100 doesn't do them - or your - any good. It just adds dishonesty to lousy handicapping.

No matter what you tell your friends, your spouse or yourself, you know when you're denying the truth. So, if you're not winning enough to cover your losses - and then some - come clean. Stop saying you won when you lost.

Once you do that, you can do something about WHY you're losing. Do you need to pay more attention to the program? Do you need a good handicapping system? Or should you find someone who can mentor you and guide you to being a winner?

You're not going to get better at handicapping with denial. It just puts off the day when you have to admit to yourself and everyone else that you're not very good at picking winners. If you'd like to get better at it, lose the denial and get some help with handicapping.
