Dogs probably in fairness better than horses although just as easy to fix and unless you have lots of knowledge or better still the inside track. Without, it's almost impossible to win long term. You must also use your edge on liquid Betfair markets as there is so much over-round on the average book.

Remember going Coventry dogs years back at the speedway stadium - always a good night, but so unpredictable with the bumping on corners and dogs being hampered.

I used to work with a lad whose family owned dogs and were in horse syndicates.
He said the dogs was on another level when it came to fixing.

My uncle used to have greyhounds and raced them.

He had one fabulous dog I remember. Won so many races, but he would just feed the dog before a race if he didn't want it to win, therefore getting better odds on it the next time it raced.

My mate was part owner in a few dogs, mainly racing out of Romford, and also ran a bookies pitch across quite a few southern racecourses and he said exactly the same that the dogs were much more corrupt and a lot easier to fix.

They generally know when they've been fed and its more difficult to disguise tteir lethargy. I could tell you quite a few stories, but one thats safe was my grandad often took them for a long swim early. They generally trapped fresh but tired near the end.

I always remember a story from another mate of mine who’s Dad was involved in dog racing who said that pleasuring said dog before they raced also left them less than race fit!

How much of that is true and how much is bollocks, pun intended, is up for debate!

I'm sure the trainers got a lot more pleasure out of it than the dogs.
