How do you pick a winning in greyhound racing? ›

Picking the right greyhound as a winning dog primarily entails understanding a combination of deciding factors such as the dog's pedigree, physical health, performance track record, temperament, and intangible qualities that make it stand out as a potential champion.

Picking a Winner by Reading the Form

Form is the record of a horse's performance in previous races and is seen by many as a good way of predicting a horse's future performance. Comparing horses' form should enable you to pick the likely best performers in a race.

The JACKPOT is an exciting bet where you are required to choose the winner of the four consecutive Jackpot races. This is obviously harder to win than the Double, but the rewards are much higher. To make this bet easier to win you can take a permutation, where you select a number of horses in each race or leg.

The percentage of favourites winning greyhound races is approximately 35%. This statistic varies across different tracks, racing classes, and other factors. In this article, we will delve into the factors that affect the success rate of favourites, as well as the payout implications for bettors.

Greyhound Trap Win Percentage: A Statistical Analysis

Although the difference in win percentage between traps one to four may seem quite close, the age-old saying that “every little helps” comes to mind. The extra 2% edge of trap three over the nearest competitor makes it the most successful trap overall.

In the steeplechase, the numbers between 11 and 29 have proved to be the most successful, supplying 12 winners over this period. 35 and 29, 13 and 10 lead the way, however, with these numbers claiming victory twice each so far.

The safest bet you can make is a SHOW bet on the favorite. While it's the most likely to hit, it delivers a small return. If you want to make more money, you need to bet on the more exotic wagers. They include the EXACTA (top two horses in order), the TRIFECTA (top three in order) or the SUPERFECTA (top four in order).

The easiest of the so-called exotics to cash on are the EXACTA (pick the first two finishers in one race in exact order) or QUINELLA (pick the first two finishers in one race in either order, though this bet is not widely available), and the DOUBLE (picking the winner of two consecutive races).

What is the most profitable bet in horse racing? ›

In conclusion, the most profitable horse racing strategy is value betting. It involves identifying discrepancies between a bettor's estimation of a horse's chance of winning and the odds provided by the bookmaker. By taking advantage of these apparent errors, bettors can maximize profits with higher chances of winning.

A favorite amongst seasoned bettors, the trifecta serves as the biggest payout in horse racing but is also one of the most difficult to hit. It's similar to the exacta but with a much harder twist. Betting a trifecta means picking the three horses to finish first, second, and third.

Though it might seem counterintuitive, bookmakers generally don't care who wins a race. Their main aim is to balance their books so that irrespective of the outcome, they make a profit. Their income doesn't come from the outcome of individual races, but rather from the overround built into their odds.

Win and Place Markets

Betting on a dog to win is the simplest type of bet. However, you can also bet on a dog's place, which typically means finishing in either first or second position. The odds for a place bet are usually lower than for a win bet, but the chances of winning are higher.

The Heinz bet is a six-selection bet consisting of 57 bets: 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 fourfolds, six fivefolds and a one sixfold accumulator. Aptly named after the 57 'varieties' company slogan from Heinz, this 57 bet wager is a unique bet that combines every permutation of the 6 selections into one single wager.

Greyhound races are extremely unpredictable. For every race that you feel you can predict the outcome, there are usually 10 more that you will not. You will hear all the stories about how fans are making money at the track but there are very few who'll make money in the long run.
