thefan,
Mr J is spot on!
Greyhounds in Australia provide the best opportunity for profits out of the three race codes because of INEFFICIENT MARKETS.
The favourites are overbet by the public.
Notice also that the selections given out on the radio or internet by the racecaller are always shorter in the market than they should be.
I love betting at Casino on Friday afternoons:
Big pools because lots of blue collar workers at the pub on Friday afternoon with their pay cheques.
Bad dogs which means if you can find the leader at the first turn, you will be on the winner on 85% of races.
Circular grass track suited to front runners. This is why the first sectional is so important. My strike rate at Casino is lower than other tracks BUT when I do back winners there I often get good odds. It is not uncommon to find a dog which has the best sectional that is well boxed that speeds to the front at $10 and wins by 5 lengths. Bad dogs can get pushed over the line at Casino. Lismore used to be the same until they changed the surface to sand.
