How to Bet on Dogs With a Handicapping System

One of the most confusing parts of greyhound handicapping, even with a good system, is how to actually bet what you pick. Depending on the method that you use to handicap, there are always more possibilities than the sensible bettor would want to bet on one race.

Whether you handicap by picking the best-looking dogs, or by eliminating the worst-looking dogs like I do, the only way to make money is by betting your picks. But what’s the best way to bet them?

Well, if you use a system that picks dogs by eliminating them like I do, I suggest 4-dog quiniela boxes. That way, you have a better chance of covering all the dogs that you like without spending more than $12 on a race.

Of course, that’s assuming that you can handicap well enough to get down to four dogs that you really think have the best chance of being in the quiniela. If you can’t do that – even with a good handicapping system – then it’s time to practice on paper some more before you put your money down for real.

If you pick dogs by looking for the best dogs, then it might be that a trifecta bet is best for you. It might even be possible, depending on how good you are at picking the top dog in a race, that a wheel or key bet is best for you.

I’m usually not good at picking one standout dog in a race, although I’ve been known to pick a few longshots with my favorite system. So keying and wheeling don’t work as well as boxes for me.

However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t think they’re good bets if you’re the type of bettor who can find that one dog to key on with a good chance of being right. If that’s your style, go for it.

If you’re more like me – good at narrowing it down to 4 dogs or less – then try the 4-dog quiniela box for bets. And increase your odds by being very selective about the races you bet on.

No one can bet every race and make money at the dog track. You’ll find that the most successful bettors are the ones who know what their strengths are when it comes to picking dogs.

If you’re good at picking a key dog, then bet keys and wheels.If you’re good at narrowing the quiniela down to four dogs, play quiniela boxes. And no matter how you bet, never bet more than you can afford to lose.

You can make sport bets on different sporting events online, but nothing comes close to the excitement of putting your money on a price fighter.

Study The Boxers

Research plays a major role in any sports bet that you make. Your betting outcomes can be fairly attributed to the amount of information that you have. If you want winning sport bets in boxing, you have to study the previous matches of both boxers. You have to consider their training and levels of motivation prior to the fight, or if the boxer is moving up or moving down in weight. The skill of the trainer is also a major factor in determining the outcome of a fight. These and many other factors should be the basis for your sport bets.

Window Shop For The Best Odds

When you have already decided on the fighter to place your bets on. It is now time to ask around for the best odds and money lines. Put your sport bets on the odds that would earn you the most money. If you can’t get information by asking around those who are directly involved in the fights, you can go to gambling sites for tips.

Money Lines 101

There are betting rules in every sport. In boxing, money lines are one of many rules that you have to take note of. Simply, money lines are determined by the match records of the two fighters and the wager amount. Let’s say that in a super featherweight championship fight, the money line is -200 to win $50. This means that if you want to put your money on the heavily-favored fighter, the champion in this case, you have to bet $200. If you are rooting for the underdog, you will have to make a $50 bet. If he wins, you get $200!

However, profits tend to be less in one-sided matches like these because of the many bets that are placed on the odds-on favorite. But if the odds of both boxers are stacked evenly, the betting can be very exciting and intense.

Hit Two Birds With One Bet

In gambling parlance, a parlay is when you make two bets in one. When you bet in boxing, you can win more money by betting on the winner of the fight and how the fight was won. If you placed your bets wisely, you will really win more money. Because boxing fights are so dynamic, you have to see if betting in parlay can rake in the profits or not. Sometimes, it is best to stick with the odds and not push your luck.

Because of the many factors affecting the outcome of boxing matches, winning in boxing bets can be very fulfilling and lucrative. So if you are thinking about making sport bets, place your money on boxing.
