What Are The Tips You Should Consider While Betting for Maitland Greyhounds

Greyhound racing is a popular sport that has been attracting spectators all over the world. It is an even bigger centre of attraction for racing enthusiasts who want to earn well by placing successful bets on greyhounds. However, there are some key factors punters should be aware of before placing bets on the Maitland greyhounds. Knowing and understanding these crucial elements of greyhound racing can significantly improve your betting strategy.

Early Speed

A greyhound's ability to 'get ready and go' is another significant factor in its chance of scoring. A dog that can jump off swiftly and accelerate straight away is less likely to face interference and is more likely to get a clear, unimpeded run out in front.

Stamina

Early speed does not signify much if your chosen greyhound cannot run out of the distance of its race. If your dog is suspected at the trip, you will be relying on interference behind it to get a sufficient mid-race break to hold on, and while this may work at times, it is not a good habit.

Running style

As mentioned above, some dogs like racing close to the rails, while others prefer a room to move out more comprehensively on the track. Of course, a perfect racer will have the combination of these traits and can go under and around dogs as required, but most will be one or the other. Therefore, it is a significant point to consider when placing a bet on Maitland greyhounds.

Another trait to watch out for in the greyhounds is whether your dog is a comfortable front runner or a steady back marker – some racers need to be able to lead to win, whereas others will not hesitate to barge their way through the racing pack from behind. But, again, this is where your analysis of early speed and stamina will come in really handy. If a greyhound has early space and needs to lead to win its races but is drawn against a field with great speed, it will face an uphill battle to get everything it is, particularly from a poor draw.

Box draw

The box from which a greyhound starts to run in a race will immensely impact its chances of winning. Some greyhounds can race better when they are closer to the rail, while others like a room to move and are better suited wide on the track. Greyhounds are also impacted by the dogs drawn alongside them – for example, if a railer is marked on the outside of a wide runner, it can lead to a disaster soon after the box rise if they collide.
