Nulla,
I'm not going to get into a debate with you, all I am trying to to do is offer advise given to me by a bloke that wins more money at the dogs than 99% of us could dream of regardless of what we bet on.
If he would let me go with him on a sat and mon night I would basically never bet a nag again.
He won't let me as there is only about 6 bookies now at wenty and that is 99% where he places his bets.Forget the TAB as far as dogs are concerned, as a $1000 bet would kill your odds.
As far as other things mentioned here believe me or not I don't give a damn.
Let me just put one more thing to you.
If you were a dog and was being put in the box and you got a really hard squeeze on the nuts, how would you race?????
Food for thought because it's another thing that DOES happen.
Good punting,I just hope the bricks in the stomach of the dog you bet on are made from styrene.
