Thanks Sportz, was up until a rough trot last night, but with a bit of luck it could have been alot better.

Moeee, thanks for the interest.

There are not many races that pass by on tv that I don't watch either at the time or after the races have been run, so you could say I have a good knowledge of most dogs running around.

People use speed maps in the gallops to great advantage and I can look at a race field of greyhounds, and do a very similar sort of thing.

I love a greyhound that is of a better class than the field they are meeting, and this would be the only thing that would make me select a greyhound that does not have good early pace. A good dog from a bad box will beat a bad dog from a good box......on most occasions.

I love to back dogs who I think will lead, the one turn tracks I love because they seem to be fairer I think, in the fact that with a longer run to the first turn each dog has more of a chance on it's merits.

But most of all it comes down to times. A dog who can run quick times I have a lot of respect for, and if they look the likely leader around 100m-150m after the start then I want to be on. This s where the speed maps I mentioned earlier help, as I would say on average I am close enough to correct with these maps on say %50 to %60 of the time, and that is very close to my overall winning average.

Then, after all that is said and done, you would be a fool if you did not bet when you could secure value. I dont back all the dogs I select, because some just don't have the value that I expected when I selected them, and I don't mind letting them pass. Case in point, Parra State last night at Ipswich, paying $1.30 and $1.40 on the totes, but I was able to secure $2.10 on Betfair. ALas it got beat, but I will take $2.10 any day about a dog I believe to be a $1.50 or $1.60 chance. Thats where you can make profits.

Form guides, I don't use so much, only the GRV website to look at the fields, as I said I pretty much know each greyhound and most of its statistics.

Just a bit of an insight into how I come about selecting my bets.

Of the 54 bets so far, 44 of them have placed for a place strikerate if %81.48 so hopefully some of those placegetters will be winners in the future, as usually my strikerate is 2/3 winners to places, but at the minute it's running at 50/50

I'm not happy with the way you go about finding your selections Shmucta.
Yes you are doing good, but I think a lot of your work depends on what sort of mood you are in.

Because you don't seem to be doing any Mathematics in your studies, a lot of your results will depend on your emotions at the time of making your selections.

I stick with only Victorian Racing.
So I can devote more careful study to what I am doing.
I've noticed you seem to bet on anything that the Bookmakers are having a Market on Shmucta.
Good Luck to you if you can make it profitable, but I would be sleeping in the gutter or an asylum if I tried doing that.

Thanks for putting up your tips.
It caused me to study those Races in Victoria where you had a tip and I made not bad Profit in All 3 Races that I looked carefully at.
Your selections done good too, well done.

Maybe if you enjoy it, you could perhaps look at if any state of Australia is letting you down, and maybe skip them Meetings.

Thats understandable Moeee, the way I bet is not for everyone, I would say though that probably %80 of my punting is on greyhounds, I do also love a sportsbet.

The mathematics side of it I am not sure what you mean?

I factor alot of things into my selections, but statistics can be good and bad, such as a dog who has won say 3 out of 3 from box one, but statistics dont factor in that tonight the 2 box is a sharp railer with more pace and will maybe cause trouble to the red. I work alot on times, they are one of the major factors, so I do factor maths into the equations. I know which dogs were unlucky and why, and whether or not they will have a change of luck, most likely, tonight with differing conditions.

We all have different ways of selecting winners, and you did very well last night, and I am having a trot of running places lol, but it will turn.

Cheers for your comments.
