Eb Netr On Greyhound Handicapping
Greyhound In Form What Does it Mean
By Eb Netr
We often hear about dogs being in form or out of form, but what does this really mean? A simple explanation for form is "running well" but there's more to it than that. I think most handicappers would agree that the definition of form has to include an element of time to mean anything. Dogs come into form and go out of form as they run and it's the smart bettor who takes this into account when handicapping.
How do we know that a dog is in form?

Look Out He's Got A Gun
Packin The Heat Races Thursday Night At Hollywood
Well actually he, as in the James O’Donnell Kennel’s prize pup, Packin The Heat doesn’t have a gun but it sure seems like it when he shoots out of the starting box. Packin The Heat, based on his performance in last Saturday Night’s Hot Box Feature Race has gained the attention of all the railbirds at Hollywood Greyhound Track including “THE RAILBIRD” , Brian Lee from Portland Oregon. Packin The Heat was matched up in a mini stakes event for his maiden voyage over the Hollywood oval with some of the top maiden runners in the country. This star studded field including Packin The Heat’s full brother Big Bad Leroy proved no match for Packin. Shooting out of the seven box, Packin clocked a sizzling 5.62sec to the first sectional and romped to a easy win in the blazing time of 30.30 while coasting to easy six length victory.
Packin The Heat has already captivated the greyhound community at Hollywood and talk of a potential superstar in the making is abundant. Nobody doubts the talent of this young pup and even rumors of a World Classic entry have been discussed albeit prematurely but nonetheless the buzz has begun. None other than George “The Eskimo” Quinn of GreyhoundNews on Twitter was quick to spot the enormous potential of this superstar in the making. George tipped off “All Night Amy” Connors regarding Packin The Heat ‘s ability and Amy was quick to alert her viewers on her weekly TV spot to be on the watch for “The Heat”.
George Quinn was so sure he had spotted a champion in Packin The Heat that he printed up tee Shirts for himself and a few twitter buddies to wear to the track for Packin’s first race. Unfortunately for George an overzealous security guard stationed at the escalator spotted George’s shirt and turned him away at the door. To the security guard’s credit not one escalator has been stolen on his watch.
Thursday night Packin The Heat has drawn into the seventh race of the late night card and the track is bracing for a big turnout to see this event. This race is most definitely “must see TV” and you can see it and the whole night of racing action right from your own home computer by logging into http://www.bigjackpotbetting.com
See you at the races!

Winning Wagers By The "Pup"
Mardi Gras (formerly Hollywood in Florida) announces lower take out on Win wagers.
By "Pup"
www. GreyhoundTracktips.com
For the serious greyhound player we must ask ourselves is this something to get excited about? My simple one-word answer is YES! There are several reasons to be excited about this change at Mardi Gras. Let's look at some of them.
1. More Win wager action
I play horses and greyhounds. While they are both sports where animals race in a circle, I play the two completely differently. Why?
Because there isn't enough money in the win pool in greyhound racing to make a $100 win bet on your pick. In horse racing there
is over $100,000 in the win pool at some tracks. You can safely wager $100 without crushing the pool and ruining your return. Our
hope is that this decreased take out will encourage more players to wager in this pool which gives us another option for wagering.

Eb Netr On Greyhound Handicapping
Greyhound Handicapping - Don't Go Off the Rails
By Eb Netr 
Handicapping a greyhound program can be overwhelming. There's so much information that it's hard to take it all in, never mind analyze it and use it to pick winners. For instance, there's post position. Many people think it's more important than any other factor. Then you bump into someone who thinks it doesn't matter at all and you wonder why you've been putting it first when you go over the program.
Well, post position IS important. But it's only one factor amongst several that you need to really compare as you analyze races.

"Bad Bill" & Lady Luck
YOU, THE GREYHOUNDS, AND LADY LUCK
By “Bad Bill” McBride
After 23 years of studying the greyhounds, writing two books and hundreds of columns and articles, you could expect that by now I’ve learned how to rule “LUCK” out of the picture. LUCK is for those number bettors, right? It has no place in the serious handicapper’s results, right?WRONG! “Luck” is always a factor when it comes to wagering! ALWAYS!
On any given race card, here are the two major ways the experienced handicapper can be affected by bad “luck”:

Hollywood At Mardi Gras Now Has Live Racing
Live Racing Returns To Hollywood With Mini Doubleheaders
Hollywood Greyhound Track at Mardi Gras opened for live greyhound racing Sunday Night December 12 with a double header of racing action. Racing began with a first post of 7:30PM EST for the evening card and eight races were contested followed by a short 30 minute break and then at 9:30PM another eight races went to post comprising the late evening card. Hollywood will be running these mini doubleheaders every Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings throughout their live season which will extend into late spring.
Opening night showcased some great racing and the invaders from Dubuque, Iowa acquitted themselves quite well. A new innovation of Sectional Times was available for those patrons at the track and later this week it will be available to everyone no matter what venue you will be wagering from. Also the Jackpot Win Bet with 16% takeout (the lowest in the industry) was introduced and play in that pool was running about 100% higher than in previous years. Hollywood officials expect that the Jackpot Win Betting Pool will continue to increase as the season progresses and patrons become more aware of it and its benefits. The general feeling is that the Jackpot Win Bet is the only wagering product that has shown any potential for growth and the initial reaction to it has been positive on all fronts.
You can follow all the action at Hollywood on line at www.bigjackpotbetting.com.
See you at the races!

Handicapping With Eb Netr
Should You Ever Bet More Than One Dog to Win?
By Eb Netr
Well, it happened again. I probably shouldn’t complain, because I made money on it. But I just don’t get it. It was the only race I wanted to play that day and the dog I liked, the 2, was listed at 4-1 in the morning line. The 1 was listed as the big favorite at 6-5.
I don’t know who the handicapper is for that track, but if I met him or her, I’d ask them a question. Why in the world would they rate a dog at 6-5 to win, when it’s had 16 races and has come in second 10 times, but hasn’t won a race for months? Sure, it won a race in a lower grade, but not lately.
I figured no way would the bettors let it go off at such low odds, but they apparently agreed with the track handicapper and bet it even further down to even odds. By the time the race went off, it was at 3-5 and the dog I liked was at 6-1.
Well, the 1 did take off like a rocket, took the lead and then halfway around the track, my 2, who had steadily been gaining on the 1, passed it and the 1 never came back. They hit the wire like that. My 2 dog won with the 1 second. The 2 paid $14 and change to win and the quiniela paid $12 and I had it.
The bettors were stunned! Stunned, I tell you, that the 1 hadn’t won. Maybe they thought it was due, like a friend of mine was always saying about dogs that always came in second. I knew better. I knew that it was one of those dogs that likes to follow, not lead, which is why it always drops back after it jumps out of the box.
I don’t hold it against dogs like that. Some dogs, like some people, just like to lope along with the rest of the pack, not be out in front. But I don’t bet dogs like that to win and I hope that you don’t either. Keep an eye on those “win” and “place” columns before you bet a dog to win and make sure it’s had some practice winning before you put your money on it.
If you see a favorite that always comes in second, look for other dogs that win more often than they place and – if the odds are right – put a couple of bucks on one or two of them. This is one of the few times when betting more than one dog to win can actually pay off.

Greyhound Handicapping With Eb Netr
By Eb Netr
Do you bet on sure things? When you see a dog that is much faster, on average, than the other dogs in a race, are you surprised when it doesn’t come in? What about the numbers? Do you crunch them for each dog in every race and then watch in bewilderment when the numbers don’t work?
Don’t feel alone if you do any of these things. It happens to all of us. Although, in general, playing dogs that are likely to win is the best course to follow, it doesn’t mean that they’ll always win, no matter how good their numbers look.

Greyhound Handicapping With Eb Netr
Are You On a Losing Streak?
No matter how good you are at handicapping, sooner or later you end up on a losing streak. It's really discouraging when you do what's worked for you before and it doesn't work now. You begin to question your skill at picking dogs and wonder if you'll ever pick a winner again. Unless you've radically changed what's worked in the past, you will pick winners again. But it may take a while, and some changes, to get back into your stride.

WIN BETTING FOR PROFITS
by The "PUP"
In the modern world of greyhound racing players have been forced to play exotic wagers to get a
reasonable return on their larger investments. When you compare the $100,000 plus win pools of
thoroughbred racing to the anemic greyhound racing pools of less than $1,000 and the reason becomes
clear. To extract any value at all in the sport of greyhound racing you must play exotic pools.
I play the horses and the puppies. I play both sports in completely different ways. What works in horse
racing will not work in greyhound racing. It requires two completely different skill sets.

#1 Way to Make Money at the Dog Track? Spot Plays!
Winning With Spot Plays
By Eb Netr
If it happens once, it'll happen again," Willie said to me once, over forty years ago. My friend was right and that's why spot plays are such good bets at the dog track. What is a spot play and why do they come in? I'm glad you asked.
A spot play is a dog that is in a situation that handicappers know often leads to dogs winning or placing. For instance, one of my favorite spot plays is a dog that is switching distances. Many people think that this puts a dog at a disadvantage or that the dog will need a race or two to adjust.

Eb Netr On Greyhound Handicapping
Greyhound Handicapping Isn’t an Exact Science
By Eb Netr
Do you bet on sure things? When you see a dog that is much faster, on average, than the other dogs in a race, are you surprised when it doesn’t come in? What about the numbers? Do you crunch them for each dog in every race and then watch in bewilderment when the numbers don’t work?

It would be foolish to consistently bet against dogs whose past performance records show that they have more class than the dogs they’re running against. Usually, all things being equal, class dogs will prevail over dogs with less class. However, there are exceptions.

It's All On The Internet For Free
Do It Yourself With Help From The Internet
By Eb Netr
Greyhound systems are just another way of organizing as much information as possible and then analyzing it to figure out which dogs have the best chance of winning, placing and showing. Of course, the more information you have, the better chance you have of picking the contenders. It’s a lot easier and quicker to gather that information now. More important, it’s a lot cheaper – free in many cases.Monday, October 25, 2010

Handicapping Dog Races For Profit
How To Handicap Dog Racing With Any Handicapping System
By Eb Netr
Do you ever stop to think about why you lose money at the dog track? Or do you just keep on “keepin’ on” doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Why should what you’re doing work next time, if it didn’t work the last time?
Sometimes, we get so caught up in what we’re doing that we don’t ever put our heads up and look around and see what we’re missing. So, if your handicapping methods aren’t working, why not analyze what you’re doing and find out why it’s not making you money?

Finals Set
Down To Two
The Pro’s Vs The Public Handicapping Challenge has whittled the field down to the last two players and fittingly enough the final match comes down to HotInAz representing the “Pros” and Nelluc who carries the hopes of the “Public” with him. Saturday night saw two of the more popular players drop when both the “Pup” and Vera went down to defeat. “Pup” was a pre tournament favorite to go all the way based on his low seed number of four however he picked a bad night to be off his game because another “Pro” HotinAz came out firing from both barrels of his BB gun and was able to produce a great night of handicapping with three winners and a near miss out of his five races picked.
Vera also met her match but not before she had made some noise in the contest. In her run to the final four Vera took down both expert handicappers and self proclaimed expert handicappers. Week in and week out Vera brought her enthusiasm and her expertise to the tournament and all of us associated with Big Jackpot Betting are grateful to her for that and wish to extend a invitation to come back any time and participate in our future events.
Now it comes down to HotinAz going head to head against Nelluc for the championship match. Calling all the action trackside will be none other than the “Internet Voice of Greyhound Racing” the incomparable Randy Birch. The final promises to bring out the best in our handicappers and you can catch all the action beginning at 7:10Pm est. this Saturday Night October 23 on BigjJackpotBetting.com.

Are You Too Stubborn to Win?
By Eb Netr
How many times have you kicked yourself for betting against the favorite, purely because you were in an oppositional mood? Does it irk you so much when everybody jumps on a favorite that you bet the second or third favorite – or the longest shot on the board – instead? If you find yourself doing this more than once in a while, you’re robbing yourself blind. Here’s what you can do about it.

Down To The Final Four
Three "Pros" Advance
On a night when picking winners was like pulling teeth “The Pup” ,the pride of LA, was able to cash out the dangerous WezzInEville and advance to the final four. Waiting for the “Pup” will be the human BB Gun, HotinAz ,who was able to sink the GolfGuru and move on to the next round. Vera made it a trifecta for the “The Pros” by outlasting KC’s Kevin in a battle that went right down to the wire.
Also advancing was Never Nervous Nelluc who sent Willie Peck packing by tabbing two winners on the card. The “Pros” are sitting pretty with three of the final four spots wrapped up and if Nelluc is going to go all the way it will require knocking off a Pro in both of the next two rounds. The action resumes this Saturday Night October 16 at www.bigjackpotbetting.com.

Elite Eight Now Set For This Saturday Night
$600 BONUS JACKPOT HIT
Chris P. aka TheWezinEville, walked off with the Bonus Bucks Jackpot of $600 Saturday by showcasing an impressive display of handicapping when he correctly selected 4 out of 5 winners for the Evening performance at the Tri-State Greyhound Park. The Wez moves into the elite eight this Saturday Night and will run head on into the “PUP”. Holding a number 4 seed in this contest “The PUP” is the highest seed left standing at this point. PUP has been grinding away every week just getting the job done but he has yet to reach the top of his game. PUP is a lot like those top major league pitchers who they always say about “you better get them in the first few innings when they are vulnerable because as the game goes on they get better and better”. PUP will come out firing this week as will Vera who comes in after knocking out the number two seed in the tournament last week. Vera is on a run and her goal as always is to get the job done this week before looking ahead to next week. KC’s Kevin is hanging out at “The Plaza” just waiting to derail Vera this week.
The GolfGuru is standing on the tee waiting for HotInAz this week in a matchup at the top of brackets. HotInAz is coming in off a solid week but prior to last week he has just managed to squeak by each week. The GolfGuru has been shooting par each week so HotInAz better bring his A game for this round.
In another match coming this week Willie Peck and Nelluc will battle it out looking to advance to the Semifinals.
Congratulations to all of our Elite Eight contestants and a reminder that each of you have won a copy of Ryan Reed’s new book BORN TO RUN. Turn in to www.bigjackpotbetting.com this Saturday Night October 9th for all the action beginning at 7:10PM EST.
