Dingoboy,

Don't let me put you off anything. At most tracks, that's pretty much the order of winning strike rate: 1-8-2-7. But as BJ said, they are also often the most bet, so the other boxes could be better value.

I'm not a huge Greyhounds fan so I only bet on them occasionally, but sometimes I like to simply box 1,2,7,8 in any2s, quinellas & trifectas no matter what their form. It does VERY well on some tracks, not so great on others.

Currently as I write this there have been 3 Greyhound races run today. The results: 8-2-7, 2-8-1, 2-7-8. Trifectas were $92, $30 & $106.

Now I've said that, bet they don't get another one up all day. You watch.
