Real Money Betting on Greyhound Dog Races
You use race cards to gauge the chances of each dog in the race with the card's details of their past performances. Each line of the form guide refers to one race and you usually get the details of the last six. In open races, where any dog can run, it's likely there will be a couple of favorites and some rank outsiders. Avoid those dogs which aren't good enough to compete and look at the dog's overall form.
The dog tracks racing office manager arranges graded races in an attempt for the race to be run as closely as possible. Any of the 6 runners have a chance of winning. This makes the result unpredictable, but does mean the odds on each dog should be better and you'll find few short priced favorites.
Greyhound Dog Races
It is said that dogs don't win from behind, but that's not quite true. Most greyhound races are won by one of the dogs who are leading or who is running second or third at the first bend. Overtaking can be a problem as the dogs can bump into each other and get into trouble, losing ground. On your race card you'll notice a sectional or split time, look out for a dog that consistently has a better time than it's rivals, it should lead and give you a good chance. If a dog gets a clear run, it has a good chance of winning, so pick a dog that tends to avoid trouble.
When a dog is attempting a new longer distance, check its form to see the distances it has been running as this is a good indication that the longer distance may suit it and its experience of the shorter races should give it a good early pace.
Dogs run most of their races at the same stadium and before they can compete they must take part in three trials at the venue. They are then graded according to their performance. Races are graded from A1 to A11; dogs start at A11 and move up one level if they win a race. The best dogs at each stadium run in the A1 races. There are other races, which are described by these letters.
OR is for Open Races
T is for the trials
D is for distance races
S for sprints, and
P for puppy races
