More On Greyhound Racing
GREYHOUND RACING FREE PROGRAMS AND RESULTS are usually available at each Greyhound track's website. I believe some GREYHOUND FREE PROGRAMS AND RESULTS are only available at www.rosnet2000.com ....At this latter website, you have to sign up for a free membership first.

greyhound racing
The format used by Rosnet2000 is standard, same for most tracks, and generally more dependable than www.greyhounds.com. Rosnet does not cover a number of tracks that are quite profitable for wagering. Several shareware, freeware, or very low-cost applications parse the text files from Rosnet to "automate" data entry. The http://www.paydog.com/ site is sanctioned by the Racing Commission of Oregon, and is relatively stable.
Good Luck

The problem is essentially the same as for thoroughbred and harness "selections." They put together an algorithm that picks some chalk, then "automate" the app to churn out page after page of "selections" that generally replicate the program selections at the track. For $19.95, if you just want numbers to bet on, throw darts. You will probably get more winners at better prices. The same thing goes for the cheapo harness and thoroughbred "subscriptions" that give you "ratings" for every horse at every track every day--no human has looked at the data in weeks, or possibly months. And then only when the app breaks.
In this field, as in almost no other, the saying that "you get what you pay for" is true. That doesn't mean that pricey ratings are necessarily better--it means that unless a human analyst is doing something every day, all you get is computerized drivel. And any selections that involve actual analysis, rather than "data processing" cost a whole lot more than $19.95 a month.
The upside, of course, is that they are worth it.
 Good Luck

The one time I played greyhounds when we were in Connecticut last year, I used Quick dog.. Pretty easy to use and not a bad program overall.. And free trial was nice :-)
I ended up going to the live greyhound races up there.. Hit a little super and it was a good time/

I have been watching them race at the Palm Beach Kennel Club for about a year now and they are fun to watch.
With so many Thoroughbreds races having only 5-6 horses in them it's hardly worth the effort to handicap them. I thought I would add a few dog plays and see if I could boost my earnings. So far so good.
Still learning and trying out different software's..DogOne is the one I am playing with now but I intend to give the others mentioned on this thread a shot as well.

greyhounds
The big issue is not the cost of the software, or even the ease of downloading race data. It is "What does it do?" In most cases, you can gain a considerable advantage with a pocket calculator; skip M, D, C, and B races, bet only A and AA, and average final time of the best two of the last four races. Period.
It won't give you plays in every race, but it will pick a substantial number of winners, often at decent prices at tracks where "class" is overbet (greyhounds going up in class are routinely dismissed as "outclassed" at the higher grade).
"Handicapping software" usually doesn't do much more--there are a number of class rating and speed rating formulas that are almost universally used, and all are based on the same basic arithmetic operations performed on the last half dozen or so races.
Shoreline Star is one of the most profitable greyhound tracks in the country, followed closely by Plainfield.
Good Luck at the Greyhounds

I just downloaded Quick Dog..Looks OK. A few quick questions.
What is the Knife method? Morgan method? If you purchase the software do you get a manual?
TIA

Track takeouts on the greyhound races
How do the track takeouts on the greyhounds, compare with those on the thoroughbreds? Generally higher?... Generally the same...or Generally lower?
Thanks,
T2W

I just checked Gordon's Pico site, and he still lists Plainfield as a file option. Has it really been closed that long? I thought it was being simulcast to Phoenix fairly recently, but I could be wrong. Lincoln is OK, but really small mutuel pools. Pender Noriega is still selling the same application?
