How to pick winning dogs over and over again
Is your luck on the track unpredictable? Are you doing great one day and not so good the next? Have you given up trying to figure out why you win or, more importantly, why you lose? If that’s the case, maybe this article will help you change all that.
Greyhound handicap is not an exact science. We all know that. But there ARE things you can do to improve, no matter how long you’ve failed at it. Even if you hardly have days to choose the right dogs, if you put some time and effort into learning how to really analyze the most important factors in a breed, you’ll be surprised at how much better you’ll do.
First of all, stop thinking that luck controls whether you win or lose. Of course, luck has something to do with it. But it’s only a very small part of winning at the dog track. The most important part is developing a system that works and sticking with it. Not doing this is the main reason why people cannot consistently win at the greyhound track.
Think about it, if you don’t focus on what works, but instead keep trying different techniques that you hear about or think of in the heat of the moment, how the hell can you hope to win? Start with a good foundation, then build on it. If you’re really smart and good at figuring things out, put in a lot of time and effort and really study the breeds until you find your own personal handicap system for greyhounds.
If you don’t have a lot of time or have never been able to figure out the runs, don’t keep wasting your time. Find a mentor, someone to guide you. Or, if you don’t have the thousands of dollars that mentors charge, or a friend who is a disability genius, stay within your budget with reasonably priced disability books that can help you develop a system. Like I always say, you shouldn’t spend a fortune to make money at the dog run.
You can also find free advice on the net, but I think we know the old saying is true: you get what you pay for. If you’re not willing to pay at least a token amount, you’re not really serious about winning. Expect to have to work on developing a good disability method even with good information and guidance from a disability book. Success does not come overnight.
Even with a good handicap system, you have to take your time, learn the method and, above all, learn to apply it to the tracks you play. All tracks have their quirks and you should keep this in mind so that you can customize your playing according to the circumstances. Tracking bias, quality and consistency of dogs, and several other factors have a large effect on breed results.
Start slowly. Learn the ropes. Above all, once you’ve learned how to pick more winners, be consistent. Don’t jump from one thing to another. This, plus a good handicap system, is the secret to choosing winning dogs, time and time again.
