Greyhound Dog Racing Tips.
Are you a dog person or a horse person? Or both? Do you go to the horse track only to think about the dog track and wish you'd gone there instead? Or do you wonder who's winning at Santa Anita when you're at Palm Beach Kennel Club?
It's human nature to want what we don't have. If you consistently find yourself wishing that you were at a different track though, betting on a different type of animal, maybe you should listen to your heart. Some people are purely horse players and should stick with that.
I'm a dog player. Even though my friend Willie keeps telling me that horses are easier to handicap because they run truer to form, I stick with the puppies. Willie plays both and does well with both. (Of course, he uses my systems at the dogs.)
But what is it about the dogs that makes them more attractive to me and less attractive to another bettor? Well, I don't like the fact that there are jockeys in horse races. No one sits on the dogs I bet on, telling them what to do.
Other people, though, like the fact that they can use a jockey's stats to handicap, as well as the horse's. They like the fact that horse have workouts that are clocked, instead of just schooling races like the dogs have. I like the fact that the dogs don't get disqualified if they bump each other. Horse players go ballistic when they bet on a dog that gets bumped by another dog.
I guess it all comes down to which sport you can handicap the best. If you're good at figuring out how a dog race is going to play out. If you can picture the whole thing from the break to the finish line and see where each dog should be. It's obvious that you'll do better handicapping greyhounds.
However, if you remember jockey standings, workout times and how the horse ran on a muddy track two years ago at this distance, you're likely to do well at the horse track. It's an individual thing and we all have to decide the best way to make money at the track.
