For those who are simply not too into the horse racing scene, greyhound racing is an excellent alternative that can be both fun and highly profitable on race days – provided that you know how to place your wagers accordingly, of course.
Given that greyhound racing relies virtually entirely on the dog itself rather than a human element added to it (as is the case with horse racing requiring the use of jockeys) each wager must be placed based upon careful consideration of the dog and its performance in the particular situation. This means that looking at both the dog’s condition, age and weight in relation to the track that day is all important to consider.
Take, for instance, a track that has recently had a bit of rain come through. The wetter ground and damper atmospheric conditions tend to mean that heavier dogs rather than lighter ones will actually get better traction on the turf and make better time. Conversely in dryer conditions lighter dogs would be better choices.
On the same token, recent wins or losses also need to be considered carefully as they can all play an important role in determining the current condition of the animal. An animal with a strong record but has not run in some time, for instance, may have recently suffered some sort of injury or illness and may not run up to expectations.
Additionally, pay close attention to all original payout ratios. These generally reflect the overall likelihood of the dog winning in the race that day as they are set by highly experienced betting professionals. Those ratios that exist closer towards the actual race time generally reflect the adjusted numbers that vary due to individual bettor interest, so bear this in mind carefully when looking at ratios as a guide as it can mean all the difference in some situations.
