Greyhound Selections – Process

So yesterday I promised I would show you how I got the greyhound selections in just 15 minutes for the 61 selections.

I'll show an example below and I have selections for Perry Bar.

First off the results for yesterday.

There were a couple of non runners with reserves in their place, I didnt bet these, although one of them won so it would have been more profitable just to back the reserve in the same trap.

I suggested dutching all the selections, but that option would have lost money as it turned out, with a loss of two points although we did win 12 of the 22 races assessed.

The best profit came from betting all selections to level stakes, which gave a 13.66 point profit and a 22% return on investment. These results are calculated on prices that I got in the minutes before the off on Betfair.

I think that the level stakes profit is better than dutching because it capitalises on the value selections that are uncovered. The first winner of the day, in the first race was matched at 13.0.

What I used to get the selections is BagsBeater 2, this version of the software works out all the times for you and it just takes a couple of clicks of the mouse to get the selections.

(Unfortunately Bags Beater is no longer available)

So the process is to open Bags Beater 2, select the race from the drop down boxes, click the extract button, then click on the Bags Beater tab.

The Bags Beater tab will take you to this page where you have to make a judgement, this is the first race of the day and to me it looks like Trap 3 has lots of space.

Which in turn will give trap 4 plenty of room and trap 6 also looks likely to have space, although you could argue that trap 1 should be in the mix!

This is the first race of the day rather than a perfect example but it shows that you will have to make a judgement.

  1. The most profitable way is to take the selections in selected forecasts.
    If interested in how to arrive at the f/csts please email me,and I will give you my criterea.

  2. In the Bagsbeater scree shot, i don’t understand what it is you are looking for.
    Firstly is the screenshot supposed to depict the dogs at the finish line or at first bend?
    If at the first bend, then is the bend to the left or to the right? And is this always the case?

    If I assume that the picture depicts the dogs at the first bend and that the bend is to the left, then does BagsBeater already take into account the extra didtance that the dos in the outside traps will have to travel, or do we have to figure that in for ourselves? Because to me it looks like trap 4 may collide with trap 3 because it has further to go etc.

  3. Hi Ian

    The bend is to the right of the image and it is showing 1st time over the line.

    As the dogs approach the bend they will all tend towards the rail to some degree even the wide seeds, so everything gets squeezed up.

    So the 3 the 4 and the 6 will have space, it’s not so much about leading around the bend as it is about not getting a bump.

    Hope that helps

  4. Hi,
    Now you have me even more confused about the track. You say that the bend is to the right – so the track must be clockwise, wheras the diaagram from the software clearly shows the bend being to the left meaning that the track is anti-clockwise.

    Its confusing.

  5. Sorry to confuse Ian

    The bend is to the right of the image but the dogs are about to turn left around the first bend heading anti clockwise.

    The top of the screenshot shows the zoomed out view where you can see which way the bend is turning.
