In the movie Ocean’s Eleven after the almost impossible mission was described in detail\u00a0-the simple question was asked-what to we do then just walk right out with the money?\u00a0The\u00a0deadpanned\u00a0response\u00a0-yup.<\/p>\n

In greyhound handicapping with over dozens of factors to\u00a0figure out- with different track\u00a0surfaces,distances,racing style biases-on and on – the answer to\u00a0are we going to win?\u00a0– is still the same-yup.<\/p>\n

We\u00a0all know how to read a program. Hundreds of different\u00a0variations of handicapping\u00a0thought processes will be tossed your way -most of them probably right in application, Define yourself\u00a0and build your own-it is your money you are investing.We are looking at some of them-none my own\u00a0but well thought out by brilliant handicappers.<\/p>\n

We will look at the 5th race at OP Wed afternoon 8\/17. There are\u00a08 dogs -they all couldn’t win? In most races no. So we will begin by selecting the 3 dogs we believe\u00a0will not finish first or second. Many articles\/handicappers believe a key is to cut the field down to 5.<\/p>\n

Note: You can find the program for the above race here<\/a>\u00a0and the charts here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1.best time\u00a032.37 closest 16l behind\u00a0NO. 2. best 32.10 closest 16 l behind NO. 3. our key dog\u00a04. espd -first official race 5. sneaky 31.21 but has cleared in only 1\/4 races 6.same as 1&2 NO.\u00a07.espd with a little life 8. vgood breeding with espd but first official race. We will toss 126 and if they finish 3-8 th we have succeeded in this exercise. Why not key the 3 with \/4578\/all in a $24 tri bet after all our work.<\/p>\n

Eliminate\u00a0 the 3 dogs that will not finish 1\/2 at any track or program and see how well you do?<\/p>\n

Becoming well versed in this will slice your cash handicapping to just 5 dogs. good luck!<\/p>\n
