I have decided to post my Australian Greyhound Selections here

I posted a meeting here earlier http://community.betfair.com/greyhounds/go/thread/view/94094/29467493/nowra-greyhounds-australia-311012---my-approach?sdb=1&pg=last#525636671

But thought that it'd be easier to put all my meetings into one thread

The first meeting was a poor result with a loss of 41 units from a 101 unit outlay, I have started with a hypothetical 500 unit bank

I will post all future meetings and results as replies

I have also started posting them as a blog here - http://community.betfair.com/hollymount_hero/blog/?message=WW91ciBwb3N0IGhhcyBub3cgYmVlbiBzdWJtaXR0ZWQh

Feel free to reply or comment, it is all about sharing ideas and improving!

Dapto Greyhounds 1/11/12


Race 1
I think we can Race 1  a bit early on here
8 - has been flying on country tracks and is in a top kennel, looks the winner.
1 - has ran an ok time here and has the gun draw
5 - has been close in good races the last 2 weeks
7 - perennial place getter, one for multiples but also a good lay opportunity.

Bets
Win bet on 8 (20 units)
Quinella 8/1-5 (5 units, total cost 10)
Boxed quinella 1-5-8 (2 units total cost 6)
Trifecta 8/1-5-7 (1 unit, total cost 6)
Boxed trifecta 1-5-7-8 (1 unit total cost 24 units)
Lay 7 to make 10 units
Total Outlay 66 units (plus lay exposure)

Race 2
8 - was a very fast heat winner and looks to have a bit on these
3 - a slow beginner who just keeps on coming

Bets
Place bet on 3 (40 units)

Race 3
7 - looks to have the right credentials but may be a risk at the price to win, however it appears an absolute moral to finish in the top 3

Bets
Place bet on 7 (40 units)

Race 4
A tricky maiden heat with some inconsistent runners and newcomers
4 - looks the winner on trial form

Bets
Too many unknowns, no bets

Race 5
5 - steps up to 600m, a distance which he appears to be begging for and may represent value
7 - appeared to be going to win by panels last week before copping a check, the form is no indication of the run
8 - made a great middle distance debut in an easier class, leading all the way.

Bets
A small speculator on 5 to win (10 units)
Boxed quinella 5-7-8 for 2 units (total cost 6 units)

Race 6
A race full of enigmatic dogs who can all gallop on their day, way too hard.

Bets
No bets

Race 7
Another tough race with a couple of speedy conveyances drawn the inside having their first go at the distance, prefer to watch these ones

Bets
No bets

Race 8
Another tough race, 7 & 8 would be my preferences but they may have trouble crossing the field from the tricky draw with a bend start. Leave me out.

Bets
No bets

Race 9
The second of the maiden heats, not a betting race at all

Bets
No bets

Race 10
This race looks to be a mad charge into the first turn. 6 looks the winner if he begins as well as he has in the past but will start favourite and may be a touch risky given the ability of dogs inside him to begin well.

Bets
No bets

Total Outlay - 162 units

Good luck and good punting!

Wentworth Park 2/11/12


Race 1
In a race full of average or slow beginners the run to the first turn will be crucial, on form 6 only needs a touch of luck in the run to blow this field away. Trained in a top kennel and capable of fast times. The main danger looks to be the 3 who's experience at the track sits her in good stead.

Bets
6 (10 units win 20units place)
Quinella 3&6 (5 units)
Trifectas 3-6/3-6/Field & 3-6/Field/3-6 (Total cost 24 units)
Race Outlay 59 units

Race 2
Not an easy race being a final that had heats conducted elsewhere. 8 has really found form of late but may struggle to cross the field to lead, 1 is a speedy customer who looks well boxed, 5 has an element of class. I think the winner will come from these three. The rougher place hope looks to be 3 who is strong and will keep coming right to the line.

Bets
Boxed quinella 1-3-5-8 for 5 units ( total cost 30 units)
Boxed trifecta 1-3-5-8 (total cost 24 units)
Race outlay 54 units

Race 3
A very tough affair, whilst I'd lean to 1-8-3-6 as possibilities in that order I find it way too hard to invest here

Bets
No Bets

Race 4
I like two dogs in this race. 2 only needs a modicum of luck in the running to dominate the affair whilst 8 will keep coming and may get a nice run early courtesy of the speedy dog in box 6.

Bets
Win bet 2 (20 units)
Win bet 8 (5 units)
Race outlay 25 units

Race 5
A race decimated by scratchings and full of unknowns at the track, I like 6 to beat 1 but can't invest here

Bets
No bets

Race 6
Love the look of 5 here, talented chaser who should lead. I was impressed with the run of  3 last week and it represents value.

Bets
Win bet on 5 (40 units)
Quinella 3&5 (5units)
Trifectas 3-5/3-5/Field & 3-5/Field/3-5 (Total cost 24 units)
Race Outlay 69 units

Race 7
Not really the sort of race to invest on, 8 looks the main hope but I'm prepared to risk at this stage. If I had to bet I'd be betting each way on 3 who should be around 8/1. But this race is not for me.

Bets
No bets

Race 8
In an open affair there looks to be a few hopes. I'm leaning towards 7 who looks to be over the odds but will need some room early.

Bets
Win bet 7 (5 units)

Race 9
A hard race to nail a winner but I like the look of 1, especially for a place.

Bets
Place bet on 1 (40 units)

Race 10
Another reasonably open affair, I think the winner could come from  5 or 8 but not with any confidence. I think the 6 is under the odds and presents a great lay opportunity.

Bets
Lay 6 to make 15 units

Total bet outlays - 252 units

Current bank before meeting (451 units) -49

You are definitely right, but Woody's the man I'm afraid.

Its an insult that you thought anyone would actually take any notice of your tips, most of the judges on here get on before they spout out, they dont bet on every race and they usually match the selection with its price. They also probrably work a lot harder than yourself to come up with the requisite selection.

Why bother telling the world ?

Mate if I'm not welcome I won't post

If you read the post you'll see there's not a bet on every race but a comment on all.

My opinion is valued by professionals in the industry here.

I bet before I post.

I won't bother any more.

Feel free to post your opinion Hollymount Hero, i'm not sure if anybody on here bets Aussie greyhounds but that don't mean you can't post your thoughts on the races.

Good Luck.
