"I have never had so much success (or fun) with the punt. Thanx heaps and great
punting to all!”
"I am very appreciative of the efforts that go into producing this outstanding information."
In
the past few issues, I've canvassed the various ways you can look at
dog races, and properly analyse them, using various key factors.
For those of you interested in examining all this much further, I must
refer you to my articles in P.P.M. issues of February, March and April
(1990) and also a major article contained in the new 1991 P.P.M. Annual.
I
get a lot of mail from fans concerned because they are consistently
losing. These fans ask how to bet to win. I have no quick-fix method to
pass on. It takes a lot of work to become a winner in greyhound racing.
And it's difficult to say how anyone should bet since wagering is an
individual thing.
If you have a betting style that is generating a
profit, then by all means stick with that style. I think the main
problem with most betting styles is that fans try to force their styles
to hit the big one.
Last month in PPM, I outlined my new ratings approach for making your selections for greyhound racing. By using the ratings approach, you will boost your prospects of making money from such betting.
Over the years, readers have asked me about how to bet the selections they make at the dogs, the general complaint being that short prices mean a level-stakes profit is unattainable.
In
the second article in his exclusive series for PPM, the noted US
greyhound racing expert Pender Noriega talks about the selection process
and how to find "key" banker bets for the exotics. Noriega has written
five books about aspects of greyhound racing selection and staking, and
this series is extracted from his bestselling books A Complete Guide for
Greyhound Handicapping and Professional Guide to Handicapping Greyhound
Races.
Greyhound races are very evenly matched. There are about
three to four dogs in every race that have an outstanding chance of
winning and, in some cases, almost every greyhound has an equal
opportunity to win.
George 'Barker' Bellfield's new approach
Is there anything new in greyhound racing form analysis? It's an intriguing question and one posed to me by PPM Editor Brian Blackwell shortly before I set about writing this article.
Brian, who has followed the greyhounds since age 10, asked me if I could come up with a new angle or two. Ironically, I was already busily at work doing just that.
