Should I rely on greyhound betting odds specified by sports books.

Question

There are many online sportsbooks offering greyhound betting odds of all the latest, greyhound races. I want to know, should I rely on greyhound betting odds specified by online sports books. Are they authentic and worth your money. Please specify.

Answer 1

The sportsbooks or bookmakers are very well informed and have a very long experience in determining the odds. Their starting prices are usually excellent indicators as to which greyhounds are likely to be among the first three in a given race. Sometimes the mass of the punters will put a lot of weight and money on a greyhound which will then go to a false price and because of that the other prices of greyhounds will drift in the market, that is get longer. As a result a greyhound shown favorite or second favorite in the early starting prices may then drop down the list as the start of the race approaches and his odds improve significantly, that is get longer. This doesn't always happen but when it does, bet on the greyhound that was initially favorite. It is always a good value bet and in the long run you should make a profit.
