Each week I’m getting closer and closer to some greyhound strategies I want to share with you. Let me pass on my ideas so far…
260m – it’s Speedy Gonzales!
So far in my greyhound investigations I have found that 260 metres is the sprint distance for them there dogs. What does that mean for us punters?
Well, like the horse racing, these races are over quicker than you can say “Usain Bolt”. And how can we profit? I think favourites in these races are vulnerable, just as their horse racing counterparts would be in 5 furlong sprints.
If you don’t spring the traps, well then you’re in trouble!
And there’s the ‘barging’ at the first bend which will occur more so in these races.
I am, therefore, taking note of the results for 260m races on a daily basis. Do the favourites have trouble? We shall see.
Handicap-tastic!
The second area in greyhound racing is Handicaps. These races are denoted by an HC in the race title.
Traps are staggered here and the best dogs are handicapped by distance, so traps 5 and 6 have the longest way to go, and traps 1 and 2 have clear air in front of them and the shorter distance to go.
What I want to know is how do the first three traps perform consistently? How do traps 5 and 6 perform as they have the most difficult route to victory?
I have just followed one race for instance, where traps 2 and 3 won with trap 6 third. Trap 1, the worst dog in the race, did not feature.
Can we Lay trap 1? It has the best of the handicap but the worst of the form.
Can be Back traps 2 and 3 consistently?
Once I have some consistent angles into the dogs, particularly in these two matches, I’ll be opening up the new dogs section atwww.whatreallywinsmoney.co.uk for your delectation.
Next week will be results update week. Me and my partner, Beaker from the Muppets, are in the Lab collating results as we speak (and write)!
See you next week with a full report on the portfolio and peripheral strategies and their performance.
