If you are looking for valuable greyhound tips and picks then file this one away in your arsenal. To understand it you must first understand some basics of greyhound handicapping.
1. In almost every greyhound race there are at least 6 dogs that can win. Sometimes all 8 greyhounds on the track have a shot.
2. Speed in most races means just as much as the speed of your car when driving in the city. If you have a 12 cylinder Ferrari and The person next to you has a 4 cylinder Honda you will probably move through the city at about the same rate of speed. The difference will be who gets trapped behind slower cars, catches more lights and other factors not related to how fast the car is.
In greyhound racing the first turn is the great equalizer. If you don't survive the first turn you can't win. If you don't get to the turn near the front then your chances increase of not surviving.
When you evaluating the greyhounds in a race compare the break and 8th call of each greyhound in relation to the greyhounds on it's side. The greyhound to the inside of your greyhound will have the greatest impact unless the greyhound you are looking at likes to break wide (to the right instead of the left.)
You will see the public betting fast greyhounds down to favorites that have dogs on either side of them that will give them trouble getting clear. On the other had a slower dog that comes out faster than the dogs surrounding it will have a good chance of clearing the turn on the front.
When you are evaluating what greyhound to bet on consider the view!

New Year Resolutions to help you win more money at the greyhound track
Every year I like to think about the previous year and any new lessons I may have learned that can be written in stone and become part of the handicapping Bible. I do pick up new things here and there along the way, but I find that the basics always seem to yield the best results. So to help us all focus and prepare to profit more in 2013 I present to you...
New Years Resolutions to help you win more in 2013
1. Play fewer races
I never understand why this isn't the easiest rule to follow. I guess it is because people who gamble really like to gamble. That means playing every race. I realize it is boring to watch a race sometimes when you have nothing riding on it but what is more important to you, winning money or not being bored? In a recent conversation with lifelong professional greyhound player Jimmy Smith (now with track data systems and bigjackpotbetting.com) we talked about this very thing. He said when he was playing for a living he would just make a straight trifecta wager on the races he knew he should pass. It only cost $2 and he still had a rooting interest in the race. And the bonus is that occasionally he would hit the straight trifecta, sometimes for a lot of money. So whether you do this, or make a $2 win wager or go to the bathroom, let's wager on less races in 2013. Pick your very best races and put all of your money on them. You will be putting more in races you have a better chance of winning.
2. Play fewer combinations
If you can hit a trifecta for $12 but you are spending $20 then you are costing yourself money every race. In fact, for only $4 more you could double the $12 bet and hit the trifecta twice instead of once. I can't do that you say? Let me ask you this, have you tried? I find that most gamblers that play greyhound racing are lazy. They will use all of their time, talent and 'know how' looking for the winner in a race but after that they just casually select the other runners for the trifecta. Have you considered this? Do you spend 10 minutes looking for the winner only to spend 1 minute picking out the runners to put with your pick for the trifecta? Devote MORE time figuring out the place and show dogs as you do picking your winner. You can hit the same trifecta tickets for less money which will mean MORE profit for you at the end of 2013.
3. Learn something new from someone that is successful
If you want to have success then you need to emulate success. I am not suggesting you need to come learn with me at "Pup U" online at www.greyhoundtracktips.com . Of course you would learn a lot of you did. But you must know someone that plays the puppies that is better at it than you. Talk to them. Learn from them. Even if you only learn one tiny thing you will benefit for it the rest of your life. So it is well worth the investment to attain it. I recently had someone ask me why they should pay me $40 a month to learn from me. I asked them a simple question. If you only learned one tiny thing that helped you either win $10 more a month OR lose $10 less every month, then you small investment with me would earn you $3,000 over the course of the next 25 years you play the greyhounds. And thats if you only learn one tiny little thing. Imagine if you learned a lot! So again, you don't have to learn from me. Just surround yourself with people that know more than you do about greyhound racing. Learn something new!

Hollywood Dog Track to Test Single Pool Wagering
This is the headline from the article linked here
When I read this headline I was somewhat interested as I know Jim Smith with bigjackpotbetting.com has been pushing for a 'win only' wager. I fully support the win only wager. As a professional player I would much rather be able to only pick one greyhound and have a large enough pool to bet into that I could show decent returns on my wagers. But alas it is not to be. They are testing this on the trifecta pool.
Based on the pools last week this would have meant a $11k trifecta pool which isn't extraordinary by any stretch of the imagination. An $11k win pool on the other hand would have been an oddity worth talking about and wagering in. I don't understand the thinking here. I really don't get it.
I already have a home for $10k plus trifecta pools. And I'm comfortable at that home. Mardi Gras on the other hand is a track I struggle with. So I won't be dumping large amounts of money into their $10k plus trifecta pool. On the other hand, I would have eagerly made a $100 win bet into a $10k plus win pool. And I would play that pool regularly.
How does this affect the casual player? Think about it. Most casual players aren't betting the trifecta pool. They are making Win/Place bets and betting the quinella pool. That's what they do. Where do you think they will go when the trifecta wager only race comes up? I don't know. I hope they would give it a shot. Some of them will. I suspect most will just go play the slots though.
I'm not trying to demean Mardi Gras greyhound park by any means. I really appreciate the steps they have taken to cater to the player. The lower take out on w/p/s wagers was appreciated. The other things they are doing at the track and online have been appreciated. They are taking chances and breaking new ground in a sport that has typically been happy with the status quo or worse, making things worse for the player year after year.
Kudos! Hollywood. Kudos on not being afraid to shake it up. Thanks for your courage. But I must admit I don't get this move. I really don't get it at all.

Close counts in greyhound racing
To be successful in greyhound wagering you must have a chest full of 'tools' to help you be successful. A few items on this list should be:
1. Proper Bankroll
2. Ability to find power keys
3. Ability to find Value keys
There are many more. Today I will discuss Value keys. In my daily grind as a professional handicapper I rely on POWER KEYS for more than half of my wagering profits. These keys win a high percentage of the time but are usually chalk (betting favorites). I leverage my ability to spot them and play them with a mathematically advantaged wager structure. In short, I hit the exotic wagers with less combinations bet than the average person playing the race. Their wasted wagers/combinations wind up in my pocket as profits.
Value keys come from several different insights. The easiest to spot is the 'close' greyhound. Let's assume you have a race with a really strong greyhound. When you compare this greyhound to the others in the race you see that there is one or two others that are very close in speed and ability. Now the obvious greyhound may go off at 2/1 odds or less, but these other 'close' contenders may go off and 5/1, 9/1 or even higher. If you can learn to spot these races and track them you will find that the obvious greyhound doesn't really win at a significantly higher rate than the others that are close. But you are getting a lot higher odds on the close contenders. So what is your strategy here?
I would say you dump the chalk and play the VALUE hounds in that race. You may find when the chalk key wins the trifecta may only pay $50 or $100. But when the CLOSE contenders with it could pay $500 or higher. This is especially true when the obvious chalk missed the board (which happens often!) So you should always have a combination or two played that takes into account the chalk greyhound not even making the money.
Be smart and you will see that CLOSE counts in horseshoes AND greyhound racing!
I train the most talented and profitable group of greyhound players anywhere. We would love to have you join us. For about the cost of one good wager a month you can be a member too. Even better you will move from being a losing player to being a profitable player. I have a couple of slots open right now which is rare and won't last long. I cap my membership at 35 players.

Using Quickdog handicapping software - backtesting
At my website I teach people how to use Quickdog software as a tool to win. In my opinion NO software can pick winners for you and make you profitable. But Quickdog can put all of the tools, information and stats you need at your fingertips to help you handicap to win! On my site I teach players every aspect of winning. Handicapping, playing trifecta's, wager structuring, bankroll management, how to know what races to play and what races to pass. It is a 100% comprehensive university for greyhound players. But many people ask me about the basics of quickdog. I try to provide as much free assistance to players each year as I can. Below is a link to a 20 minute video on some of the features of quickdog. It is Part 1 of a 3 part series on backtesting. I hope you enjoy it.

Greyhound wagering is as easy as you make it
In nearly 10 years of working with people and helping them become profitable playing greyhounds I have learned one thing: Everyone has something that they do pretty well. The only players this doesn't apply to is someone who just started playing greyhounds this week. If you have been trying for several months or years then YOU have something that you do pretty well.
The easiest way to start making money right now (or at least start limiting your losses) is to evaluate what you do well and then do more of it!
The first step in this process is to keep records. Every race that you play (or play on paper) you need a record of your picks, your wagers, your wins and losses, what grade the race was and the distance of the race. In the old days keeping records was a nightmare. With computers and spreadsheets so readily available now and so easy to learn, there is no excuse for not keeping records.
Maybe you see you can pick the winner a high percentage of the time in Grade A. Or you hit the exacta in grade A a high percentage of the time. It could be that you are really doing well in maiden races. Look at everything from every angle and put your money where you have the best chance of winning!
If you see that you are losing 95% on Grade C races at 660 yards....DONT PLAY THEM ANYMORE. You can keep playing them on paper and figure out how to make money. But don't bet another real dollar until you figure it out. Take the money you would be betting on these races you have no record of being profitable in and add it to your wagers on the races you are doing well at.
Being profitable is hard but it isn't difficult. Using some good ole common sense is your best bet.

What is more important. Handicapping or wagering?
This may be the easiest question I have ever answered about playing the greyhounds. Wagering is by far the most important thing that will affect your profit and ROI.
If I were in a contest that required me to place wagers on handicappers and who would do best over time, I would bet all my money on the modest handicapper with outstanding wagering skills over the worlds best handicapper with poor wagering skills. How important is wagering? I'll give you a real life example from today. I had a member of my pro greyhound training site , www.greyhoundtracktips.com , ask me about races to play today. I told him I would give him my best race of the day but he should apply the things he had learned so far to play it the best he could. At the end of the day we would compare notes on how he played it, how I played it and make adjustments to his process as needed.
The race was Palm Beach Matinee Race 3 (todays date 9/22/11)
We just talked a few minutes ago and here is how he played the race:
$3 1/8/A
$3 1/A/8
$5 exacta 1/28
He hit the race. His total wager cost $46 (in our first conversation based on his bankroll I advised him to shoot for an investment of around $50 on the race). His return was $100.10 for a profit of $54.10
Now that is very respectable. He made OVER 100% ROI on this race. In our discussion I first congratulated him on picking it right and getting a very respectable return on his wager. And then I shared my wager.
The reason I thought writing about this today is because we had the exact same dogs narrowed down for our play. So his picks were exactly like mine. The only difference was how we wagered it. Here is my wager
$3 1/28/28
$2 1/A/28
$10 Exacta 1/28
My total wager was $50 exactly. My return was $180.50 for a $130.50 profit. For the same investment I made nearly triple the profit and ROI for my wager.
Now I'm not saying I would always wager better than him on an individual race. There would be some races I might actually miss or only hit small on a single line of wagering that he would get paid and I wouldn't or get very little. But what I did do, and what I always try to do is MAXIMIZE my return when I am RIGHT!
If I could ask you one question that might help improve your returns it would be this. Do you ever make a straight trifecta wager? If not you should. You need to handicap the race the best you can and then make a wager that reflects you being right. Why? A straight tri is only $2. And you won't be exactly right a lot of the time. But when you are right, your ROI on that single line will be massive compared to your $12 line where you hit it for a $1 payoff. So spread your wagers and make sure at least ONE of your wagers will reward you when you are EXACTLY right!

Chalk in greyhound handicapping. Another greyhound track tip
It is Saturday morning as I write this. I am preparing for a great day of matinee and evening performances to play and win! I just visited the members forum at my online greyhound players training site. This is where I teach people how to win. They win by watching me, a professional player, in over 50 hours of streaming video.

"Prior to the U (He means Pup U, as my members have dubbed it) I would have been one of the guys arguing with you about playing the chalk, but no more. Also love the at a glance style of your methods. Looking forward to the next installment. Some live capping with this method would be great. It's been a while and these are always my favorite videos. Thanks and keep winning"
Playing so called "chalk" correctly is one of the most profiable, low variance ways of playing. I have several arsenals I use at the track. But find REAL sold chalk key dogs is my bread and butter.
So what would be my best tip for playing chalk? It's real simple. You have to identify the REAL chalk and stay away from false favorites. Every race will have a favorite. In most races these favorites will be bet down to less than 2/1. At less than 2/1 make sure you have a dog and really and truely dominates the rest of the field. This key dog can't be slightly better. He/She must be better by an overwhelming margin.
Come learn how to win with us. In the quote from one of my members above, he asked about live handicapping video. These are my most popular videos on the site. My members get to watch me actually handicap and play races. It is an invaluable tool. It can be what gets you to the next level!

Stand out puppies for Palm Beach Kennel Club 8/9/11
A few puppies look like standouts today.
Race 5 - 4 Fanny Bay
Race 6 - 8 Youandme
Race 8 - 8 Oaks Clyde
Race 12- 5 RK's Conk Gonk
And in Race 14, Ruthless Dream has enough speed to finally get a win. The question is does she have the heart?
As with all thing, wagering on these greyhounds depends on a lot of factors. But they are ones to check out closely when looking at the card today.
Good luck!!

What's the most important thing to win at the greyhound track
Everyone wants to know how to win at the greyhound track. And everyone wants to know the secret to winning more at the greyhound track. The truth is, there isn't really just one thing and there certainly isn't a secret. So why am I writing a blog about this? Simple, there is one thing that will help. It isn't the ONLY thing and it isn't a secret. But it is the best starting point. Of course, this is my opinion. But I think my opinion carries some weight. I have been winning for over 15 years at the track.
The starting point for successful handicapping in my opinion is speed. It is from this launching point that all other factors should be considered. Let me illustrate this with an extreme hypothetical race situation. Lets assume you have a standard US 8 dog race. Seven of the greyhounds average a finish time of 31.00. Now lets imagine the remaining dog has an average finish time of 29.00. A whole second advantage. I would submit to you that post position, track conditions, class of the other dogs or anything else wouldn't matter much in this race. Is it possible the standout dog could lose? Sure, anything is possible. Is it going to happen enough that betting against this greyhound would be profitable? Not likely.
So it is from a first evaluation based on speed that you begin your journey. In races with very closely matched dogs, speed won't be the factor. But you must know the speed to identify this. So speed is still the first factor. Once you evaluate the speed of the greyhounds you can rank them. The top half are your most likely contenders (it could be all 8 of course if they are ranked closely enough) and you start with these contenders.
What will make the difference for these contenders? Will it be the post? Will it be track bias? Will it be the kennel? How many other things can you look at that will matter? You need to look at them all until you find a greyhound best positioned to get the advantage.
So the answer to the original question in my opinion is speed. It is merely the starting point, but it is an important starting point. Possible the most important of anything you can look at.

How to win more at the greyhound track in these uncertain times
You may be aware that several pieces of legislation in Florida and other states have been up for votes this year that could potentially eliminate many greyhound tracks around the country. It looks like most of them have failed for now but I am certain they will come up again in the future. If you earn your income from playing the greyhounds then this legislation is very important for you. Even the casual player should have a plan as well and learn how to adapt in these changing times.
How should you change your play?
If you are a person that only plays one track you should seriously begin looking at other tracks to play. Many basics of handicapping apply to all tracks but each track has unique qualities you will learn. The only way to learn this unique aspects of other tracks is by playing them (even if on paper), keeping records and learning what works and doesn't.
If you play multiple tracks your strategy should be a little different, especially if you are a 'spot player' or cherry picker. If even one track you normally play were to close then you could miss out on several plays a week you have become accustomed to playing. The way to adjust is by looking for at least one more play per track each day. These won't be cherry picked plays, they will need to be value plays. Look for patterns or opportunities to play a potential long shot you wouldn't normally play.
No matter your current method of play you need to always be prepared for the future!
I have 3 slots open at my greyhound university where I teach players to play like a pro. My most recent video training series has just been published for members to view and learn from. In this series "7 days with Pup" My members get to see me play days in a row. They learn how I approach the races everyday, decide what races to play, structure my wagers and cash big. One of the races I hit was for over $1,800 with multiple trifecta and superfecta tickets on one race.
You can play like a pro too. You just need to learn from a pro.

Greyhound handicapping made easy!
You want to win money at the greyhound track? Do you want the secret to winning at the greyhound track? I am going to share it with you in this blog ONLY if you promise NOT to tell anyone else!
To win you must pick the greyhound that will reach the finish line first!!! That's it in a nutshell.
If you are thinking you have just wasted 10 seconds of your life reading this, give me a chance to redeem myself. I am making the point that too many players get hung up on things other than the goal I stated above. Let me give you an example or two.
Have you ever spent 5 minutes trying to figure out what dog would break first? Have you agonized on deciding what dog will clear the 1/8th call first? I could go on and on but you get the idea. While these are certainly aspects of handicapping, if you don't make the leap from that one bit of information to this...which dog will win...then you are not accomplishing much.
What does it matter if a dog breaks first if he will be passed by another dog before the turn? What does it matter if a dog clears the 1/8th call first if he will be passed on the back stretch?
There are many things that happen in a greyhound race. You need to understand them all to pick a winner. And ultimately you need to be able to answer the most important question of all when you are done. What greyhound will reach the finish line first?
If you have read books, tried software and listened to the advice of others and still find you are losing money at the track...let me help. Your path to becoming a winner starts here: www.greyhoundtracktips.com
