Winning Greyhound Strategies
As I briefly mentioned last month finding the winning greyhound in a graded race is about a lot more than the times it has achieved in the past.
Graded racing is the greyhound equivalent of a handicap race except that greyhounds are not allocated any sort of handicap to slow them down. Instead they selected to be as closely matched as possible.
The Racing Managers job is to put together races that are as closely matched as possible and to, if you like, create a puzzle for the punters. On course bookmaking at greyhound tracks is notoriously hard, mainly because when money talks in a small market there are not the opportunities to balance out a book. This is the reason that on course overrounds are huge at greyhound tracks and the reason that the Racing Manager does his best to make the races as decipherable as possible.
Don’t let any of this put you off, though, because winners can be found if you are selective and if the meeting is covered by Betfair then fair prices can be obtained also.
