My 7 top tips for Sports Betting on Greyhounds

Discipline – Arguably the most important thing with regard to betting on greyhound and or any Sports betting for that matter is being disciplined. Only bet what you can afford, never chase your losses and don’t bet for the sake of it.
Knowledge is King – Get to know the sport of greyhound racing inside out. Watch it, read it, live it and breathe it. If you’re serious about making money on the dogs, immerse yourself in greyhound racing and rewards will follow.
Build a Bank – Start your greyhound betting career with a betting bank behind you. Divide it into 50 or 100 and there you have your unit stake. Stick to this strategy and you’ll be sure never to dip into personal funds you shouldn’t.
Keep Records – It may be boring and time consuming but keeping records of your greyhound betting activity is crucial. You’ll know exactly where you stand from a profit and loss point of view and it will also pinpoint the types of bets that work best and worst for you.
Lose the Emotion – Emotional Sport betting are normally losing bets as a rule. Just because a dog you backed last time was unlucky in running doesn’t mean it will win next time. Avoid all previous emotional ties and only back the greyhounds on their merits.
Know the Form – Understanding the form of greyhound racing is a basic prerequisite but one that is surprisingly often overlooked. Punters around the country are betting on the dogs without really understanding what the form figures mean. Use the wealth of information freely available on the web to gain a full understanding of greyhound racing form before dipping your toe in the punting waters.
Visit the Track – While videos and race results can give you an idea of how your greyhound has performed, there is nothing quite like seeing them run in the flesh. Make sure you visit your local track as often as possible and you will develop an eye for what to look out for when betting on greyhound racing
Greyhound Betting

Do you bet dogs to win? Do you play them to win and place? How about show? We all have our preferred wagers, but most of us pretty much stick to one type of bet for our non-exotic plays. I used to only put my money on win, ignoring place and show. Then I realized that a lot of the dogs I picked came in second at pretty good odds, so I added place bets if I thought the odds and the pool showed that they’d pay at least enough to cover my wagers if they came in.
I’ve never made money on show bets, so I stopped playing them a long time ago, unless a dog is at really long odds so that a show bet will pay more than most do. But one day, when a dog I liked was a big favorite, I discovered something about how good place bets can be in certain situations.
I always watch the pools and, to my surprise, there was almost no action in the place pool for the big favorite. Everyone was playing it to win and in exotics, but apparently no one thought it would come in second. My theory is that any dog, no matter how good it looks, can fade or stumble or just not quite have the energy to come in first, so I put a little bit on the favorite to place instead of playing it to win, which would have paid peanuts.
Well, it DID place and I made more on my place bet than I would have made if I had played it to win and it had won. Much more. That’s when I realized that I had a spot play. Since then, I’ve cashed tickets on this play many times. Whenever there’s a big favorite in a race, I look to see how many people are playing it to place. If it’s all out of proportion to the win pool, I play a place bet. If it wins, I might not get much, but I’ll get my money back.
And if it places, I’ll do very well. This is one of the many spot plays that I’ve found by watching the dogs, the board and the changing patterns in greyhound racing. Keep your eyes open and you can spot these things too and add them to your greyhound handicapping toolbox.

Romford Dog Race Dead Heat

Romford Dead Heat

Three-way dead

Greyhound

Punters at Romford Greyhound Stadium witnessed an unusual occurrence when three dogs finished a race in a triple dead heat.

Killishan Masai, Ayamzagirl and Droopys Djokovic could not be separated in a photo finish at the Coral-owned venue.

The result was made more amazing by the fact that it occurred after a 925m race – the longest distance in the sport.

“No-one can remember it happening in greyhound racing before,” said Coral spokesman Simon Clare.

“The odds on it happening are many millions to one. It would be like winning the national lottery and then getting struck by lightning minutes later.

“Immediately after the result was called, one of the track bookmakers rang his father, who has been betting on greyhound racing since the 1940s, and he said that he had never seen a triple dead heat before in his lifetime.”

Killishan Masai (4-1) started in trap one, Ayamzagirl (4-1) raced from trap five and Droopys Djokovic (12-1) from trap two.

Officials at Romford said the owners of all three greyhounds would receive a trophy to celebrate their unique achievement.

Joker heads the Tote Gold Cup pack

THE Tote Gold Cup at Shelbourne began on Saturday night with Thurlesbeg Joker taking the opening heat in impressive style, clocking 28.32sec.

Last year’s Scottish Derby favourite and Irish Derby Plate winner blew away the cobwebs on his seasonal debut, beating a good field including a young and exciting prospect De Ex Factor.

Thurlesburg Joker, who ran out of trap five, took charge around the third bend putting three lengths between him and his rivals by thefinishing line.

The second heat was a much tighter affair with Da Hatter beating the highly touted youngster Colourful Champ by a head in 28.55sec. The runner-up appeared as if he needed the race after a winter break.

The third heat went to Tyrur Giovanni in trap five in a time of 28.75sec.

He used his all-round pace to gain a length down the back straight on the very talented Tranquil Time, in trap six.

The winner was just too hot for his rivals in the early stages.
Tranquil Time was reeling him in fast by the end and looks more suited for the Derby trip of 550yds.

Fatboyz Nodrog took the fourth heat from trap three.

He clocked a winning time of 28.47sec, destroying the field with his trademark slick trapping by over six lengths.
Almost Chilli was second but had no answers to all-round pace of the winner.

There was a big shock in the fifth heat with Tullymurry Act crashing out due to a slow start.

Tyrur Bucko showed off this talents with a trap-to-line success over last year’s Irish Derby runner-up Oran Classic in 28.66sec.

Pablo Supreme won the sixth heat 28.85sec after being the subject of some considerable ante-post interest.

The seventh heat was a messy affair, with trap one runner Fane Basher getting the upper hand over Beaming Dilemma in the closing stages, with a winning time of 28.87sec.

The eighth and last heat of the night went to Romeo Reason in a smart 28.60sec.

Moveit Jamie looks a good ‘un for team Draper

BARRIE DRAPER has half the field through to the Tuesday’s [Feb 23] Dual Distance final at Sheffield – which is over 500m, the Tuesday 16th eliminators being at 480m – after qualifying all three of his heat runners when sending out the forecast in the opener, and then taking the last heat in tremendously impressive fashion with Moveit Jamie.

This looks a proper dog, and after prevously ‘winning’ a debut void race, proved he is indeed something special when taking a first bend baulk in his stride before smoothly accelerating down the back to lead at the third in the manner of a right good sort.

His time of 28.12sec was the fastest, though he faces a tricky decider with five unseeded runners.

Droopys Ranger, who showed good pace to lead second to third, also went through with Farloe Razl missing out after having led up.

The Draper ’cast was Magna Flintoff (made all, 28.39sec) beating Freedom State two lengths. Derby finalist Farloe Reason walked out of the boxes but ran creditably to take a close up third after finding crowding too.

Heat two was bunched, and fell to sprinter and rank 14-1 outsider Honchos Hawk (28.45sec) who slipped the field at the first bend,

Both Arc hero Farloe Titan and Ninja Jamie mistimed their starts and were in the proverbial all sorts. Farloe Titan battled on to qualify and has drawn red in the £1,000 decider.

Earlier Charlie Lister enjoyed better luck when Bandicoot Tipoki won [backed into 4-7F] on his first start of the year, soon leading to clock 29.04sec over 500m. Draper’s Farloe Rocket kept close rails on his 2010 reappearance and showed enough to suggest he will be winning soon too.

Eden Dom kicked off a Draper treble when taking an early lead in the 720m open.

Dog Tips

Greyhound betting is becoming increasingly popular among many people. There is quite a lot of money involved in this sport, not to mention the factor of risk. As with any other form of betting, luck is very important, however it is not the only thing, which can decide whether you win or lose. If you are looking to increase your winning streak, here are some helpful tips on how to improve your betting skills in greyhound racing.

When examining the racers, the first thing you want to know is the age of the dog, as this will tell you a lot about their expected performance in the race. The most desirable male dog is two years of age, and as for female dogs, they are usually their best at the age of three. Also, choose the dog, which in the past has given a consistent performance. You should refrain from betting on greyhounds, which have an irregular pattern of racing, because although they may sometimes give a superb performance, they may give a bad one when you place your wagers on them.

In order to be a good bettor in greyhound racing, your focus should not only be on the dog itself but also on the track he or she is running. While some greyhounds give exceptional performance on a certain track, they might not be quite the same on another track. This is why you should always get information regarding the track and how well the dog is adapted to that track before a race to make sure you are playing with the most up-to-date information possible.

Although it is very tempting to bet on the favorite dog, be sure to not overlook the odds. You should be meticulous regarding the greyhound, and in many cases, betting on any dog other than the favorites can earn you a lot more profit if they win. Moreover, from time to time, you may want to bet on any dog whose odds before the beginning of the race are very low. This is because there is a huge chance that some person has inside information regarding that greyhound which no one knows that may be an indicator of the race’s actual outcome.

Be careful as well that the dog you pick is not racing after a long time off the track. You should always go for the greyhound that has run quite recently and is in its top form. This is because if you choose a dog that has not been part of a race for a long time, regardless of how fast or competitive it was, it might not be quite the same, as it is getting back into racing shape. For instance, it might have experienced some disease, injury or something else related to its racing, which might hamper it from giving its best, so bear this in mind when looking at which dogs are available.

It is only natural to be tempted to bet repeatedly once you have won the wager, but you should also practice abstaining from betting every so often, and give yourself some time to enjoy the money that you have won, rather than risking it again immediately. Greyhound betting is a risky and extremely unpredictable business, and although you might have won the first or second time, you may not be lucky every time.

Sports Sad Loss

Sports Sad Loss

The sport has lost two giants of the training ranks in the last 3 weeks with first the legendary Geoff Demulder passing away and last weekend Wimbledon trainer Phil Rees left us at the age of 67.

Phil will be remembered best of all for his exploits with Pagan Swallow who won the very first Derby to be held at plough Lane. Rees took up the reins from his father who also won the Derby at White city in 1976 with Mutt Silver. Having started his professional career in 1978 at Wimbledon, Phil never trained anywhere else until handing over the licence to his son Richard 2 years ago. Phil leaves a wife, son Richard, daughter Debbie and five grand children.

It is not just Phil Rees the sport of greyhound racing is mourning after the legendary Geoff DeMulder died aged 79 on the 11th December. Geoff trained at his Meriden kennels for many years with fantastic success and was seen as one of the great trainers in an era which was one of greyhound racings most memorable. With the likes of John “ginger” McGee, Ernie Gaskin and John Coleman the open race scene was at its best.

Geoff will be remembered for the terrific dogs he took charge of including the prolific Derby winning Sarahs Bunny successful in 1974. But from a personal point of view greyhounds such as Ballyard Curtis. The big strong brindle was to be one of the best sprinters in the country. My favourite however would have to be the magnificent Labana Mathew. This striking white and fawn dog won middle distance races up and down the country and was a big favourite wherever he went.

There are countless greyhounds we could mention. However the most endearing character of this proud Yorkshire man was his honesty and ability to listen no matter who you were. Just the name of DeMulder on the race card made you jump in your car and travel to what ever track he had a runner at knowing that you would see something special. Having met the man on a few occasions he was a colossus in the training ranks. It is not often that one person has such an effect on the racing public but the Wizard from Meriden was one such character.

The sport is going through a tough time at the moment and losing such great ambassadors for the game does not help. Lets just hope that 2010 offers more hope and prosperity for those involved in it and that the industry can pull through what has been a really testing time.

As dog racing drops, greyhound adoption need rises

As dog racing drops, greyhound adoption need rises

Dog Racing

Associated Press Writers

= KENOSHA,
? Seven dog tracks halted racing across the country last year, forcing hundreds of greyhounds into an uncertain future. With fewer tracks available for them to race, the sleek long-limbed dogs are now flooding the adoption market at a difficult time.

Economic hardships are preventing many dog lovers from adopting, or worse, forcing them to give back animals they can no longer afford to keep. Misconceptions about the breed â?? that greyhounds are hyperactive and crave constant stimulation and exercise â?? also scare away some potential owners, advocates say.
And most have spent their lives inside racetracks and kennels with little exposure to families, kids or even the most basic household activities, say greyhound lovers like Rhonda Mack, who took in two dogs from the Dairyland Greyhound Park in southern Wisconsin, which closed last week.

“You bring a dog home … They’ve never been outside the racetrack,” said the 50-year-old from Lake Zurich, Ill., who now has three greyhounds, including new additions Lexi and Jack. “They go into your house â?? they don’t know what a window is, they don’t know what stairs are. They walk right into windows like they aren’t even there.”

The track in Wisconsin ran its last dog race on New Year’s Eve; another in Phoenix and one in Massachusetts also ended dog racing last month, bringing the total to seven tracks that pulled the mechanical rabbit in 2009.

There are no precise figures, however greyhound advocates estimate more than 1,000 greyhounds now need new homes. That’s in addition to the best racers, who will be sent to tracks that remain open elsewhere or to breeders.

Since greyhound racing began decades ago, there’s always been an issue of what to do with retired race dogs. Previously they largely found homes through a fragmented network of breed adoption and other placement groups, but the recent deluge of dogs in need of dwellings has magnified the issue.

“It is a domino effect,” said Michael McCann, president of The Greyhound Project Inc., a Boston-based nonprofit that provides support and information about greyhound adoptions. “Everything that happens in one state affects … the dog adoption effort in other states.”

It doesn’t help that the economic downturn has made some people hesitant to become dog owners and pushed others to give up their pets because of the costs of caring for them. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals estimates that as many as 2 million pets have been abandoned since the recession began in December 2007.

Modern day greyhound racing started in 1919 in California and at its height in the 1990s, more than 50 tracks operated nationwide. The number of tracks offering races has steadily decreased in the past decade, from 46 in 15 states in 2001 to 30 at the start of 2009. This year, no more than 23 tracks in eight states will operate dog races.

Year-round racing in some states has pushed seasonal tracks out of business or track owners aren’t able to afford the high taxes, said Tim Horan of the National Greyhound Association, which represents greyhound owners. Competition from other sporting events and gambling hasn’t helped, he said.

In Massachusetts, two tracks ended racing last year after voters approved a ballot question sponsored by the group Grey2K, which claimed widespread mistreatment of greyhounds, including confining them in small cages in warehouse-style kennels.

The racing industry nationwide vigorously defends its record on the treatment of dogs during and after their racing careers.

With so many dogs needing homes, Kevin Neuman of Overland Park, Kan., started the nonprofit greyhoundcentral.org, which he hopes will serve as a clearinghouse for greyhound adoption.

The aim is to connect available dogs to owners, as well as people willing to transport animals from kennels in one state to new homes in another, said Neuman, who has adopted 11 greyhounds over the past 16 years.

When Woodlands Greyhound Park in Kansas City closed in 2008, Neuman said his group found homes for some 500 dogs, including about 200 placed in adoptive homes in the area.

He worries the outcome won’t be as positive for these canines.

“There are many ways for these dogs to disappear, to go to tracks that might be outside the country, in Mexico for example,” where the dogs might be run harder and get less adequate care, he said.

Still, there are some safeguards.

Wisconsin state law requires that all greyhounds be adopted, sent to another racetrack or returned to their owners.

The Massachusetts Racing Commission requires that no greyhound be euthanized unless all “reasonable efforts” to place the dog for adoption have been exhausted. Owners must provide the commission with a detailed explanation as to why a dog was put down rather than adopted.

And in New Hampshire, where two tracks ended racing, only greyhounds that sustain severe injuries while racing can be euthanized.

In Wisconsin, the Dairyland track has offered a $5,000 incentive to its kennels to find all dogs homes by Feb. 5. General Manager Bill Apgar said even if that deadline is not met, the kennel compound will remain open until all are placed.

On a recent visit to the track’s kennel, there were some positive signs. Almost all the dogs’ cages had “adopted” signs on them. The message on the scoreboard read: “Retired greyhounds make great pets. Visit our 1st floor adoption office to find out more!”

“We are just besieged with adoption requests,” Apgar said.

Greyhound lovers are constantly trying to clear up misconceptions about the breed. Despite their athletic training and competitive instincts, the dogs are calm, easy to care for and do not require constant exercise as might be assumed, they say.

“If you want a dog to go play Frisbee with, this isn’t it,” said Kari Morrison Young, director of Arizona Adopt-A-Greyhound.

Lynn Rapa of Methuen, Mass., has adopted six former racing dogs.

As “sight hounds,” they are bred to chase a lure, so that chase instinct could be a problem in homes with cats or other small pets, she said. Rapa recommends that greyhounds be kept in a fenced backyard or on a leash.

Dogs who have spent their lives in track settings also benefit from transitional foster homes, where they can learn how to do things like go up and down stairs and become acclimated to unfamiliar household noises such as microwaves or vacuum cleaners, she said.

Mack, who adopted the dogs from the Kenosha track, agrees.

“I had a huge dog that came home … Two minutes it took him to figure out the stairs, but his back legs, he hopped like a bunny. It was this gigantic dog hopping like a bunny down the stairs,” she said, laughing.

Greyhounds walk great on a leash, sleep 22 hours a day and are “couch potatoes,” she added. “They are very, very laid-back dogs.”
