G'day Darky,

Have seen your 'set of pearls' around the traps on box 1/8 then 2/7

Given 1/8 dominates, how or when to play 2/7 ?

Also, what do you make of this somewhat loose logic...

1. If 1 is a short fav, box 8 is the value play
2. If 8 is a short fav, box 1... etc
3. 5 is an each way play in scenario 1 or 2


Cheers LG

Hi LG,
I wouldn,t go there.
Cheers

You're completely igorning the ability (or lack thereof) of the dog LG. To back a winner at the dogs you need to do a speed map, ascertain what habits the dog has ..... wide runner, railer, so you can work out where the "clear runs" are, and it must be up to the grade it's competing in. If it's up in grade then usually it's going to have a couple more for company going to the first turn.

Good input Mr Rubble - logic looks sound.

Have seen this approach elsewhere on here (or a variation on it) but not a record of consistent winners as far as I can see from the wash up at the end of a evening's card.

Have you managed to carve out a profit in this way?

LG

LG, I just don't believe you can win at the dogs without a minimum of watching replays ..... end of story. I wouldn't touch the country dogs with a ten foot pole !! Yoiu're talking to a bloke who used to go to the dogs 4 to 5 times per week for 15 years ..... I know what I'm talking about actually.

Thanks Barny, I believe you mate.

Wasn't looking to win or make a killing on the dogs in particular - just interesting in different viewpoints, including yours.

Cheers LG
