Answer 1

ok, pick 4 numbers, what Im about to give you is the HOLY GRAIL in Dog capping,,, so take notes !!

your fav 2 numbers,,,, what are they??? 1- 2 are mine,,, NOW is where it gets fun,,, the remainiing 2 numbers you will use those to do 2 seporate 3 dog BOXED QUINELLAS,,

my 2 other fav  numbers are 5 and 8,, so heres how it goes,,

I bet 1-2-5 box Quinella 6.00 is the fee

then

i bet 1-2-8 box quinella 6.00 is the fee,,,

I will change my 3rd numbers sometimes but the key here is that if I change it, then I do  it in the Beginning of the evening, soooooo for every RACE,,, (every race) I makethe same 2 bets for all 12 or 14 bets, however many races I am there for,  I can sit back enjoy a Nice meal, I dont get a fknMIGRANE trying to OUT cap all the other Losers,  Ive made BLIND bets that more often than not will make me BANK!!

so I am wagering 12.00 every bet,  so for 10 races Ive wagerd 120.00.  I lose sometimes but I swear to YOU!! you will win more than you lose!! lololol,,,,

go to a piece of paper and write down the numbers that are your favorites, go to any one of your local tracks website, and look at a few of your previous race results,,,

this is the easiest and most fun you will have, if you overcomplicate this you will go crazy!!!

good luck

First tip is to buy a racing program. It is probably only a buck or 2 but the info inside is VERY valuable.

The best bets to make are called quinellas. This is where you pick the 1st and 2nd place dogs in the race correctly and you win. The average return is anywhere from $20-$80 so it is worth playing. You can also bet trifectas which is picking the first 3 dogs correctly. But since this is your first time, stick with quinellas because they are easier to pick.

I could write a book on handicapping greyhound races, but I'll give you some basic tips. The history of how the dogs have raced in the past has a big impact on how they will run today. First, look at the weights of the dogs since their last race. If they have dropped 1-2 pounds, bet on these dogs! A lighter dog will most likely be faster.

Next, look at the post position that the dog is coming out of. Some dogs like the inside of the track (boxes 1-3) and some like the outside (boxes 6-8). Look at the performance coming out of different post positions and if it is a favorable box for the dog, lean toward that dog.

Lastly, look at the class. Dogs are divided into classes A-E with A being the best dogs and E being the worst. If a dog has run a lot in A's or B's and is now running in a C race, then lean toward that dog. So if a dog is coming down in class, then he has more experience and has raced against better dogs in most cases.

There are many more things that go into handicapping such as speed ratings and closers vs. front-runners. But for now, use the tips I have provided. Nothing is certain in dog racing, but handicapping a race put the odds more in your favor.

And Good luck!  (Nothing beats good old-fashioned luck)
