How To Bet On Dog Races And Win

If you have found a runner who you feel is better class than the others, study his most recent form carefully. Has he been recording times fast enough to enable him to win in a lower grade? Has the ability to lead or, if he seems to be a greyhound who comes from off the pace, has he been unlucky in recent outings?

There are, of course, no hard and fast rules in working out or deciphering current form and it is very much personal opinion which will decide the direction you may take. Most races will comprise of runners of near equal ability but a greyhound who has consistently recorded faster times than the others but, for one reason or another, has failed to win would be a natural choice if we could be assured that every greyhound enjoyed a trouble-free run.

This is where the trap draw if of vital importance - it is, in fact, one of the most telling factors when coming to make your selection. If you have managed to narrow the race down to two runners, perhaps even three (anymore and you should not even consider having a bet) that you feel have a realistic chance on your assessment of class and current form. You should only bet if one of these is drawn for a trouble-free run. For instance, say one of your choices has shown its best form from trap six and is drawn in trap four with fast starters either side, it will probably struggle to find a clear passage.

Should it be drawn in six again and have a slower starter going from trap five, he would probably be sure of finding a clear run into the first bend and, therefore, have a realistic chance of showing his best , or near best form.

It is equally true that a greyhound who has appeared unfavourably drawn in recent races would almost certainly benefit when he is again granted a draw that is more favourable to his style of running. Many races, particularly ones over four bends, are won by whichever greyhound leads into the first bend. A study of the racecard will help you decide which greyhound, in a trouble free race, would have the best chance of leading.

In the case of an early paced type, you have to decide whether he can clear his rivals by the first bend or is he more likely to be crowded or bumped. Or, will a strong finisher turn close enough to the leaders and have a realistic chance of finding a way to challenge later in the race? As the novice punter begins to visit a track more regularly, they will learn where particular greyhounds seem to race - near the rails, in the middle, or out wide.

Place betting on dogs is quite popular and this time, you are placing a bet about your chosen dog will finish the race in the first or second place. Note that it does not have to win the race: As long as the dog is in the top two, you will win this bet. Place Bets – The place bet in dog racing is very close to the win bet. In this wager, you pick a single dog and win the bet if your dog comes in first or second place. This bet is a little easier to win so the payout odds aren’t quite as attractive as they would be for a straight up win bet. For $12, I can bet a superfecta key with my quiniela picks first or second and the other two dogs coming in third and fourth. For instance, if I like the 1 and 2 dog for the quiniela and the 3 and 4 for third and fourth in either order, I'd bet a $1 superfecta key: the 1/2 over the 1/2 over the 3/4.

All of these items can work in your favour but each and every one need to be answered before you can confidently have a wager.
