In conventional, six-dog races, the first two home represent the places. An each-way bet is two separate bets: a win bet, and a place bet.
What is the best way to bet on dog racing?
The most common way to bet on greyhound racing is to either pick a dog and back it to win a particular race, or you can back a dog to be placed in order to have a better chance of winning. This means it must finish in the top two, though your winnings will be lower than if you select a dog to win the race.
How do you pick a winning dog race?
Good draws win races Look for the races when the runner in trap one is the only railer – that's a dog who prefers to run on the inside of the track. If every other dog has a 'm' for middle runner or 'w' for wide runner in brackets after its name, you've found the ideal race. It's the quickest route to success.
What is the best box in dog racing?
There is data to suggest Boxes 1-3 clearly have the best strike rate. Box 6-8 have the poorest winning ratio. There is a short run to the first turn and greyhounds can get posted wide and checked, so the data makes sense.
Which greyhound trap wins most?
