Going well, mate. Keep it up. |
Thats the strangest thing to me.
That a Punter can be so skilful at selecting that his strike rate is right up at over 50%, yet the POT is Excellently Positive, but only hovering at the 17% mark. It just goes to show that it is not the strike rate that is important, but the Profit on Turnover. And what is most important about Shmucta selections, is that there is plenty of action. Well done Shmucta. Finally someone who actually is showing a profit on their methods and not just posting tips for the sake of doing it. Maybe you could post some ideas on how you go about deciding on which races to bet or or not to bet on. And what form guide you use. I would love to be able to do what you are doing and perhaps even do it better :) |

Thanks Sportz, was up until a rough trot last night, but with a bit of luck it could have been alot better.
Moeee, thanks for the interest. There are not many races that pass by on tv that I don't watch either at the time or after the races have been run, so you could say I have a good knowledge of most dogs running around. People use speed maps in the gallops to great advantage and I can look at a race field of greyhounds, and do a very similar sort of thing. I love a greyhound that is of a better class than the field they are meeting, and this would be the only thing that would make me select a greyhound that does not have good early pace. A good dog from a bad box will beat a bad dog from a good box......on most occasions. :) I love to back dogs who I think will lead, the one turn tracks I love because they seem to be fairer I think, in the fact that with a longer run to the first turn each dog has more of a chance on it's merits. But most of all it comes down to times. A dog who can run quick times I have a lot of respect for, and if they look the likely leader around 100m-150m after the start then I want to be on. This s where the speed maps I mentioned earlier help, as I would say on average I am close enough to correct with these maps on say %50 to %60 of the time, and that is very close to my overall winning average. Then, after all that is said and done, you would be a fool if you did not bet when you could secure value. I dont back all the dogs I select, because some just don't have the value that I expected when I selected them, and I don't mind letting them pass. Case in point, Parra State last night at Ipswich, paying $1.30 and $1.40 on the totes, but I was able to secure $2.10 on Betfair. ALas it got beat, but I will take $2.10 any day about a dog I believe to be a $1.50 or $1.60 chance. Thats where you can make profits. Form guides, I don't use so much, only the GRV website to look at the fields, as I said I pretty much know each greyhound and most of its statistics. Just a bit of an insight into how I come about selecting my bets. |

Of the 54 bets so far, 44 of them have placed for a place strikerate if %81.48 so hopefully some of those placegetters will be winners in the future, as usually my strikerate is 2/3 winners to places, but at the minute it's running at 50/50

I'm not happy with the way you go about finding your selections Shmucta.
Yes you are doing good, but I think a lot of your work depends on what sort of mood you are in. Because you don't seem to be doing any Mathematics in your studies, a lot of your results will depend on your emotions at the time of making your selections. I stick with only Victorian Racing. So I can devote more careful study to what I am doing. I've noticed you seem to bet on anything that the Bookmakers are having a Market on Shmucta. Good Luck to you if you can make it profitable, but I would be sleeping in the gutter or an asylum if I tried doing that. Thanks for putting up your tips. It caused me to study those Races in Victoria where you had a tip and I made not bad Profit in All 3 Races that I looked carefully at. Your selections done good too, well done. Maybe if you enjoy it, you could perhaps look at if any state of Australia is letting you down, and maybe skip them Meetings. |
Thats understandable Moeee, the way I bet is not for everyone, I would say though that probably %80 of my punting is on greyhounds, I do also love a sportsbet.
The mathematics side of it I am not sure what you mean? I factor alot of things into my selections, but statistics can be good and bad, such as a dog who has won say 3 out of 3 from box one, but statistics dont factor in that tonight the 2 box is a sharp railer with more pace and will maybe cause trouble to the red. I work alot on times, they are one of the major factors, so I do factor maths into the equations. I know which dogs were unlucky and why, and whether or not they will have a change of luck, most likely, tonight with differing conditions. We all have different ways of selecting winners, and you did very well last night, and I am having a trot of running places lol, but it will turn. Cheers for your comments. |

Shmucta.
How do you know which race is the one to post your tip on? Like for SANDOWN last night, how long did you spend doing the Form? How much time did you spend studying Race 1? How much time did you spend studying Race 6 where you found a selection? How much time did you spend studying Race 8, the Lizrene Staying Classic..GROUP 1? |
It varies from race to race, Turanza Bale was a standout to me, Was down in class I thought, and Sandown allows a dog a great run if they need room, as there is not as much interference, usually, at the first turn, and thats the way it panned out. It was a huge run the week before, and the time that night was sensational, a quick look through the others in the fireld and I could not see it being beaten, with an ounce of luck as usual, which you can never bank on.
I scan the fields, and usually the good runs over the proceeding few weeks will stand out to me, and I can make an educated guess on if I want to delve further into that races form, based on the runners. I pass a few races pretty quickly as they have a few winning chances and it all comes down to luck, such as the distance final last night. Interestingly I had Lady Moscato almost leading that race and proving hard to beat, but I thought it was too much of a gamble. I think on her run if she lead then she would have been hard to beat, as she was back near last and made up a stack of ground, good run, but I am glad I didnt bet. If you watch as many races as I do, the good dogs will stick in your mind, then the process is to work out what will happen in tonights race, if I like what I see, then it becomes a selection. Like I have said before, after all that is done, you still need value, so I do not bet every selection, but most of them I find are value, I would say 10 to 15 percent start unders. But betfair is a great addition to my punting options I must say :) |
You make no mention in your tips as to what is considered VALUE.
How do you work that out? Like, What Price did you figure TURANZA BALE was about the right Price? And what would be the Lowest Price that you would accept on it? I saw $3.90 on BETFAIR but I was too busy doing something and missed it. |
Value I base on how confident I am, and I have a price in mind when I select a dog, but it is really just a guide. If I am not comfortable with a price I wont take it.
Turanza Bale, based on the run the week before, I thought would be odds on. So any black figures was value to me. I got set at $3.20 on betfair, plus I also saved on UNITab because sometimes you cannot get on elsewhere, so the $2.80 was also value for me. That is all down to my confidence though, I really couldn't see anything in the field giving much trouble to Turanze Bale. Rowdy ran well, but it is a few lengths off Turanza Bale ability wise. I would not have been as confident had the race been at say Wentworth Park, as the first turn there is a killer, but like i said, Sandown is a very fair track, and the race panned out how I thought. Does not always happen though, as you can see by my posted tips lol |

I think you may be tipping just for the sake of tipping now Shmucta
Usually you come up with 2, maybe 3 selections per meeting. Looks like about 6 at The Meadows tonight. Good Luck with it anyway. Don't think I'll be betting too much in the Races you have selected. But I'll cheer yours home for you anyway :) |
Never ever ever just tip for the sake of it Moeee :)
I can't choose where the good runs start next mate lol, so I go with what I am dealt with. And The Meadows is a very very different form track than Sandown. It is a leaders track, so dogs that run good time over the shortcourse one turn tracks usually can sustain that speed for the 525m. Different altogether at Sandown, with it being a much fairer track, with dogs seeming to win from anywhere on the first turn. As to why The Meadows seems an easier 525 than the shorter Sandown 515m and I could not answer that. |
