Handicapping greyhound racing. Track Bias

I have commented recently how much profit I have made at a particular track using ONLY track bias and nothing else. I mean, when certain post positions win 62% of the time and you frequently get odds of 10/1 and higher on those post position, why make handicapping harder than it has to be?

Most recently I was listening to some decent handicappers break a race down to the nth degree. Meanwhile the posts I liked were sitting at 7/1 and 14/1 respectively. Their logical winner missed the board completely and I hit a $30+ winner.

Do you know the bias at the tracks you play? I'm not saying this situation happens all the time at every track, but it is an exaggerated example of how much track bias could help your greyhound wagering skills.

If you don't have a comprehensive plan for playing the greyhounds you will lose. You must know all angles, all of the time, to win consistently. That's what we teach at www.greyhoundtracktips.com

The max bet for max profits when greyhound betting

The correct amount to wager depends on several thing. When people ask what makes us different at www.greyhoundtracktips.com I tell them it's because we cover important things like this. No one else does.

1. When you are a novice player with a small bankroll your bets should be based on only one thing. The size of your bankroll. You should never bet more than 5% of your betting bankroll on a single race. 2% is the most optimum.

2. When your bankroll grows some your priority changes to betting according to your advantage. Your skill will also have grown. You will bet more on races where you have a huge advantage and less in races where you have a small advantage.

3. When you have the maximum bankroll and knowledge you will be looking to bet the maximum that the pool you are betting into can withstand. You will want to extract as much money from that pool as possible while maintaining a minimum return for your wager.

Those are the guidelines. It is more complicated than that because you must know how to bet. You must know what your advantage is in a race. You must know what pool wagering ratios are and what the minimum return is. But now you know where to start. If you want to know more than just a starting point we'd be glad to teach you at www.greyhoundtracktips.com

Greyhound tips, picks and software

I get more questions about greyhound picks, greyhound tips and greyhound software. Everyone wants to know which of these will give them winners. The answer is ALL of them will give you winners. But here is what NONE of them will do.

NONE of them will tell you what races to play
NONE of them will tell you how to structure your wager
NONE of them will teach you bankroll management
NONE of them will help you with the psychology of gambling
NONE of them will let you walk beside a professional player and learn

www.greyhoundtracktips.com DOES do these things. If you have tried all else, why not try the only online greyhound university?

How many tools are in your handicapping toolbox?

When I first started playing the greyhounds at the greyhound track I only knew speed. Back in those days I would take a calculator and add the running times of each greyhound up, divide by the number of races and get an average. That was the extent of my handicapping abilities, and it picks a fair amount of winners, but they are usually the chalk of the race. The worst problem is that it is only one tool in a toolbox that needs to be full of handicapping tricks.

I later learned about the importance of class, post position and other things. As I got better at handicapping my toolbox filled up. The thing I LOVE about greyhound racing is that no matter how long I play I can still learn more. I am always searching for something to give me an extra edge over the other players at the track.

My advice to players who want to win but aren't is to play less races. Play the TYPES of races you know you are good at playing. As your tookbox grows so will the number of races you can play. One day you will reach a level so you can play 50% or 60% of the races profitably.

I founded www.greyhoundtracktips.com to help players fill up their toolbox of handicapping skills. That is why we call it an online greyhound university. It's much more than a pick sheet or some pithy advice. It is an on going education. I mean, it took me nearly a decade of serious study and many losing years to learn to play profitably. I can tell you now that you won't learn to be a winner in a week, month or more. We are there for the long haul at greyhoundtracktips.com. You come in as a losing player and you learn at your own pace. And our goal is to have you leave us a winning player.

How full is your toolbox?
