Greyhound Dog Racing Tips.
If there were one perfect method of greyhound handicapping it would make it a lot easier to pick winning dogs, wouldn't it? Unfortunately, although there probably thousands of different systems, some of which work and most of which don't work, there's no "one perfect system" that works for everyone.
When you think about it, that makes sense, because no two people handicap dog races the same way. Even if you use the exact same system as your buddy, he does it just a little differently than you do. For instance, if the system gives points for each dog who improved since its last race, you each might have a different idea of what indicates improvement.
If the handicapping method you're both using says you should play dogs who are coming back from a layoff, what's your definition of a layoff? A week? Two weeks? A month?
We're all different. We all have our preferences and little quirks and ways of doing things. One big difference between handicappers is how much effort and time they're willing to put into using a system. Do you hate to write things down? Well then, a system that involves lots of marks on the program isn't going to work for you.
You'll use it for a short time and then go back to whatever method you used before - one that doesn't call for writing at all. Do you hate math? Well then, a system that has you figuring percentages and speed figures will definitely turn you off the first time you use it.
This is why there is no one system that works for everyone. Before you plunk down your hard-earned cash for a greyhound handicapping system, make sure that it isn't something that is so complicated, math-heavy or time-consuming that you won't use it.
No matter how well a system works, it's useless if you don't use it. So be selective. Do your research and choose a system that fits your style of handicapping. Then try it out on paper first before you make real bets. That's one system that works for everyone.
