Greyhound Dog Racing Tips.
If you're a pretty good handicapper, you've probably got a handicapping system that works for you. You may not get rich, but you probably pick quite a few winners. You may bet quiniela boxes like I do and make enough to take your spouse out to dinner without spending your social security check.
But how many times have you picked a winner or a quiniela, but haven't won anything? Of course, you hate it when that happens. We all do. Sometimes, you're not even sure WHY it happened.
You marked the dog in the program. You walked up to place your bet. You stood in line and when you got up to the window, you didn't bet what you wrote down. Why did it happen?
Well, maybe you were going to bet the 6 dog and overheard a trainer telling another bettor that the dog was wormed yesterday and wasn't going to come in. That got you looking at the 6 and you decided that it didn't look that hot on second thought, so you bet on your second choice, the 8.
When the 6 romped home three lengths ahead of the other dogs and the 8 trailed the field, you were pretty disillusioned. But that didn't keep you from doing the same thing when you were in line three days alter and heard someone say that he had a tip that the 1 dog was juiced up and couldn't lose.
You looked at your program and saw where the 1 had won another race from the 1 box, so you changed your bet from the 3 to the 1. Too bad the 3 hit the board at 10-1 and the 1 was fourth.
Letting other people influence your betting is a really bad habit. Whether it's a tout, a tip sheet, the program picks or a friend, don't do it. Now, I'm not saying that you shouldn't pay attention to these things - although I never take tips from friends or touts. What I am saying is that you should have the confidence to stick with your picks, rather than trusting someone else's judgment.
Use a good handicapping system. Do your homework. Make your picks and bet them. That's the best way to win at the dog track.
