A friend of mine is interested in greyhound racing, mainly through being taken by his dad from a young age. He tries various different systems, but he has been dicussing one with me recently. I failed to see the long term potential in it, but he is trying it non the less. I doubt its a new system to anyone here, but this is basically what he is doing.
He uses
betfair to look at the odds and he places the bets within a minute of the racing starting. He initially looks at the odds for the favourite dog. The odds for the favourite determines the rest of the betting, the system works like this:
If the odds for the favourite are 2.0+, he bets 1 unit on the top 2 favourites.
If the odds for the favourite are 3.0+, he bets 1 unit on the top 3
favourites.
If the odds for the favourite are 4.0+, he bets 1 unit on the top 4 favourites.
And so on and so forth. Im sure 99% of you can see the idea behind this. I'm not so sure that this system has a long term potential. I mean if his unit stake is £10, then he makes aroudn £15 on average in a winning race, but a losing race with 4 favourable dogs results in a £40 loss.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this system?
