Greyhound Dog Racing Tips.
There's a delicate balance that you have to keep when you're trying to make money as a greyhound handicapper. You can't be cocky and arrogant and think that you know it all. But, on the other hand, you can't constantly complain that you have bad luck and think of yourself as a loser either.
Somewhere in between confidence and false-confidence is where you'll find the people who make a living at the dog track or supplement their incomes with it. How do you develop this attitude? Or do you only have it if you're a successful handicapper?
Well, before these people became as successful as they are, most of them had doubts about their ability to pick enough winners to make money. I know I did. When I first started out at the dog track, I really thought that it was all a matter of luck and I thought that the only luck I had was bad luck.
It didn't take long for me to figure out that I was thinking wrong, but it held me back for awhile. Then I got better at handicapping and developed confidence in my own abilities and realized that luck had very little to do with how much I made at the track.
If you're struggling because you feel like you're not good enough to pick winners, you need to adjust your attitude by taking a realistic look at where you are with your handicapping abilities. Be honest with yourself and go over your record of wins and losses. If it's not where you want it to be, there are things you can do to improve it.
Don't just blame it on bad luck. Look at how you're handicapping. Find better ways of picking dogs if what you're doing isn't working. Remind yourself that someone wins at the dog track and why shouldn't it be you? Instead of wasting time knocking yourself down and dissing yourself, use your time to get better at greyhound handicapping.
Nothing worth learning is instant. If you want to get good at something, you have to work at it. Greyhound handicapping is no different than any other accomplishment. So give it your all for awhile. Stop looking at yourself as a loser and start seeing yourself as a learner. Think of all the other things you've learned in your lifetime that you weren't very good at to begin with.
I bet you weren't the world's best driver the first time you got behind the wheel. And you probably have learned many more things during your lifetime that you weren't sure you could master. Put some time and effort into learning the ropes of handicapping and you'll very probably find that you become much better at it as time goes by.
