The title is a little misleading because there really isn't a secret to winning more at the greyhound track. In fact it's quite simple. To win more you must...LOSE LESS!
That seems simple enough right? It seems too simple to even be true. But it is. Every dollar you lose is a dollar you have to win back. Then you have to win even more back on top to make a profit. Here are simple ways to lose less and win more at the greyhound track!
1. Play less races
Go through the card at your track and find the top 5 races. These would be the races you think you have the best shot at winning. ONLY play those 5. What do you do the other races? Enjoy watching these amazing animals run! Maybe make minimum win wagers just so you have a small stake in the outcome. But that's it. Save your major money for the 5 best races of the day!
2. Play less combinations
If you are playing exacta's or trifecta's, play less combinations! Most people are boxing 4 dogs to win. Or they will wheel a key with almost every dog in the race. Start by eliminating at least 2 dogs that can NOT make the money. Then see if you can eliminate 1 or 2 more. Make your exotic wagers based on these remaining dogs. Sure, you will lose some races because you left a dog out. But the money you save over the long run will be way more! Don't believe me? Try it 6 months and track your results both ways. You will see.
I could blog every hour of the day and not come close to everything we teach at www.greyhoundtracktips.com. The best part of our training are the 30+ hours of video where you get to play along side a pro and see what I do everyday. You learn to win but being with a winner.

Looking for a cash cow? Here's how to find one!
It's no secret that you will go broke if you play the favorite to win in every race. If you play exotics and you key the favorite in your wagers you are very likely to go broke as well unless you are very accomplished at wager structure. This brings us back to one of the prime goals in wagering: finding value. For the purposes of this article we will call it "Finding the cash cow."
There are several different spot plays that yield high priced puppies to wager on. One of my favorites is looking for class, or back class, in a race that is pretty evenly ranked in terms of ability otherwise.
Let's say the entire field (or the competitive portion of the field) has ART (average run times) within a margin of error that they could all win. In this case there is no clear winner. No one that stands above the rest.
Many times in this instance you will see a greyhound that is outside the limits in terms of ART. They may have been out because of injury, training or other reasons. You will often see these greyhounds come back and school with pretty slow times. These greyhounds are diamonds in the rough.
Let's say the race is a GRADE D race. Your potential cash cow was competitive in GRADE A 3 months back, More competitive in GRADE B two months back, and didn't do really well in GRADE C before going on a break. In today's race this puppy is coming back in GRADE D. That's a triple drop from GRADE A where the greyhound was competitive only a few months ago.
Even though the results in it's most recent races don't look good, it's likely this greyhound is ready to fire today for a nice price. and if not this race, then the next one. So put some money on this puppy and get ready to get paid more often than not and some nice odds.
I train players to spot all kinds of spot plays like this AND to wager properly and dominate greyhound racing in many aspects. Visit us online at www.greyhoundtracktips.com

Playing a longshot? Not so fast!
If you are like me then you abhor the thought of playing a 6/5 favorite. I nearly refuse to do it! Notice is said nearly...
There is a favorite in every race, many times paying 2/1 or less. The wise player will not play this weak favorite or false favorite. The wise player will look for value. The thing you must always remember are the two words I used: weak and false.
A REAL favorite should not be bet against. Even though you may not be getting good odds to bet the favorite, you are also probably not getting good odds to bet against either. This leaves you with a few options.
1. You can key the true favorite with some 'value' dogs for the quinella, exacta or even the trifecta.
2. You pass the race and just enjoy watching it run.
Of all the tools you should have as a handicapper, being able to spot a TRUE favorite is one of them!
We teach every possible angle of professional greyhound wagering at our online greyhound university. Our latest video training series is on the win bet. It is just one of the many facets of play that we teach you to master at www.greyhoundtracktips.com
