I am going to explain my handicap system for greyhounds. I mainly focus on ES or early speed. Open a results table of any greyhound track and you’ll see that the dog that gets to call 1/8 first will end up in the winning position or in place more than 80% of the time. No other factor comes close. This is only 1 factor and you have to consider other factors like late speed, class, time – I use daily track variants like Beyer speed figures for horse racing. I did the math and did my own math to calculate this factor and post the position. Each of these factors must be calculated for each runway at each distance and each grade. It seems like a lot of work and the truth is that it is. But it is because of this hard work that 99% of the public will not put in the time and effort to do this. You don’t have to do all that work for this method to work for you. You have to be good enough to pick the dog that can take the lead on the racing track of your choice.

Let’s go back to factor #1: ES (initial velocity). Let’s say there are 15 races on a card for your race track. You will most likely only find a few playable races. A playable race is one in which you KNOW (although you can never 100% know) that a certain greyhound will take the lead. For example, an inside runner from an inside post position. For this example we will use frame #2. You look and see this dog can snap and if he takes him he will hang on to win or win. Now he has to look at the adjacent post positions and hopefully he won’t run into playing style conflicts, like the #. #1 opens wide or the no. #3 has a habit of breaking inward. So we have found that dog 1 breaks slowly and dog 3 is also slow and runs outside. It seems that no other dog of said breed can pass on to your dog #. #2 until the turn. Well, you just found a playable race. I usually find on a 15 run card that I can play 2-4 runs. You must have the discipline not to bet on the other races. Only bet on those where you know you have the advantage. Pass in all other races. With all that being said, I focus on eliminating the 2 worst dogs of the breed and choosing 2 other dogs, one of which will win money. I then use my trifecta bet method like so:

The 1 represents my dog ​​Key. 2 and 3 are options 2 and 3. etc.

$1 Three-part wheels 1/23/23456 $8 1/456/23 $6 1/23/23456 $8 456/1/23 $6 This is a total amount of $28 per race. I have listed on my website my picks and results and current winning percentage which is 71.4%. If you can hit more than 20% of your trifectas, you’ll make money, at least with this system. The hardest part is choosing the key dog. The second hardest thing is to pick 2 dogs so they don’t end up in the trifecta and for me the easiest is to pick 2 other dogs of which only one of them has to show at least. That’s how I handicap and I bet. I post random selections, usually for the Palm Beach Kennel Club. So far I have always been able to submit my free picks before Saturday night for the Sunday race card.
