There is no single best way to bet on the dogs, with the unique qualities of each race dictating the method with which you might want to have a flutter.

For example, if you have a strong feeling about a short-priced favourite then the best way to bet might be ‘on the nose’, e.g. win only. Alternatively, if you like the chances of a long odds outsider, betting on them each way gives you a wider margin for error if they don’t win the race but do finish in the places.

Betting on a greyhound race is like solving a puzzle, with numerous elements to be considered before you get to your selection.

You should always check the recent form of each dog, as well as study how well they fare against a specific grade of opponent. Are they ready to step up in class? Do they generally succeed at a particular level? Do they have previous victories at a specific track to their name?

You can also look to the form of the dog’s trainer/owner and how they fare in this particular race type. Checking the greyhound’s pedigree is also useful in identifying those with plenty of potential.

If it was easy to pick out a greyhound winner, everybody would be doing it!

The key to being successful is to do your homework. You may be able to pick a winner or two by sheer luck, but in the long run you’ll need to develop a system of identifying repeated winners – how you do that will be the result of trial and error.

But as mentioned above, checking a dog’s form, their pedigree and their win rate at each grade of racing is an excellent starting point, as well as tracking their previous race times to see if improvement is being made from one start to the next.
