Betting Tips to Pick a Greyhound Winner
When it comes to picking a greyhound winner, it helps to consider:
Recent form: Just like horse racing betting, form is key when betting on the dogs. Analyse past performance in the last five or six races your chosen dog has run in. Also check past performances on the specific track, and look at trainer form.
Race grade & trap position: If a dog steps down or goes up a grade, it can affect its chances of winning. Trap position can have an impact, as greyhounds in the widest trap positions often have the advantage.
Pedigree: Dogs with good lineage may indicate a good potential chance of winning.
