Betting Belle View

[mark1975]

I'm going on a my bro-inlaw to bes stag do on Saturday night and we're starting off at Belle View. It's the first time I've ever been so see Greyhound racing, let alone betting on it, does anyone know the sport, have any info or even better, any tips for Saturday's race night?

The cheeseburgers there are superb.

Erm, that's about it.

Greyhound racing? I usually pick a number and stick with it for the night. I do better than most.

I always do a 2 euro reverse forecast when I'm at the dogs. I know nothing about greyhounds (other than I like the fact they're on the other side of a fence) but usually strike it lucky once a night at least with a reverse forecast and it can usually pay for the rest of your betting.

I had 6 out of 10 one night in Shelbourne. Pure luck.

Ross's fear of dogs rears it's ugly head again.

Cheers lads, so it's just hit and hope then? After a few bevvies I probably won't give a fuck anyway.

I like Gerry's idea - pick a number, any number

It also has the added bonus of annoying people who have rigorously studied the form, when you beat them. If you don't no big deal, as you're only in it for the craic anyway.

I've long given up predicting greyhounds, unless its a big meet.

Bet on the one who's just had a shit. Lighter 😉

never back a grey dog.

It's like backing a white man for the 100m

Ha! I'll bare that in mind, and I'll look out for the one who's just a dump George.
