Greyhound Dog Racing Tips.
Nobody likes to dwell on their failures. From the time we're born, the rest of the world tells us to focus on the positive and let go of the negative. This is good advice for the most part. When we make mistakes, the best thing to do is often to move on.
But when it comes to winning money on dog races, it's sometimes better to focus on the losers we've picked, rather than the winners. There are a couple of reasons for this. One of the biggest reasons is that it will help you become a better handicapper.
If you tend to just quickly move on after a losing race, without analyzing it to see if your handicapping approach could have been at fault, what's to keep you from making that same mistake again? Nothing. But if you realize that you overlooked something or gave too much weight to one factor or not enough to another, you'll be able to correct those mistakes.
Also, if you look at the dog you thought would win and see why it wasn't as good a bet as you thought it was, you'll be on the lookout for similar dogs. Maybe it was track bias that did this dog in. Maybe it was the running style of the dogs next to it.
There's an old saying, "Those who do not learn from their mistakes, will keep making those mistakes, over and over again." Unless you want to keep picking those losers, go over the races where you didn't succeed until you know why you didn't.
Of course, sometimes, you won't be able to figure out what went wrong. That's a lesson too. In greyhound races, just like in the rest of life, there's no sure thing, and you can't ever be 100% certain that you can predict the future.
