Betting On Greyhounds For A Living

Can you actually make a living betting on greyhounds? The answer is yes with the right tools. Even though there are no jockeys to steer the dogs, greyhound racing is more predictable because there are only 6 or 8 runners, the going (ground) is consistent unlike horse racing, and the different grades mean the dogs are all of a similar standard … usually.

If you can predict which dog has the right draw and and the early pace to lead the others round bends one and two, you’ll regularly pick winners, as 65% of races are won by the dog that leads at the first bend. Other sectionals are obviously important, but none are as important as the first sectional.

Using sectional timings to consistently pick race winners is therefore the way to make a regular income. Analysing sectionals though for every race is virtually impossible. To do it you need a piece of greyhound racing software like the one I use, it’s called “Sectional Timings”. It uses 5 years of greyhound results data to analyse the chances of each dog in a race. It will only advise dogs on any day that have a stand out chance of winning, meaning they meet the systems set criteria for winning dogs.

It won’t pick the winner every time, but it does the majority of the time!
