wintz Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I am going to the dogs in Dublin this coming Saturday and it will be my first time at a dog track. I was wondering if anyone has any tips on the right way to bet at the dogs - should I do reverse forecasts or what? Any trap take preference? Is there a rating system for who gets what trap? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trackspy Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: greyhounds Cant help at the moment as I only cover english form but the irish greyhound board do have a cracking website with form etc so you can look at the runners beforehand. I think the site is http://www.igb.ie I will have a look myself and get back to you if I see anything worth a bet. Mike:- not too sure about the shiny pin thing!! actually some nights it could well be better!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trackspy Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: greyhounds I have had a look at the card and I must admit I am no expert on Irish Open racing, which makes up the card on Saturday night. There is some quality animals on show and the only thing i can pass on is about Tyrur Jim from Paul Hennesseys kennel. Paul sends his dogs over to my kennel quite alot and I know he tinks a lot about this dog. The card tipster also has him tipped. The only other dog I could possible tip is another likely fav in tomsheaboy. The racecard can be found from the link below and you would probably do ok following the comments and tips on the card. Sorry I cant be any more help, if there is anything you need to know about English racing just let me know. http://www.igb.ie/RACECARDS/SPK080105RACECARD.PDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintz Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: greyhounds Many thanks for you time taken to check the races for me. I have to say there are some very friendly and helpful people on these forums. I will do some reading and pick myself a few winners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
