Dog Racing
also called greyhound racing the racing of greyhounds
around an enclosed track in pursuit of an electrically
controlled and propelled mechanical hare (rabbit). Dog
racing is a 20th-century outgrowth of the older sport
of coursing (q.v.), in which dogs hunted by sight rather
than scent.O.P. Smith demonstrated dog racing in 1919
at Emeryville, Calif., and the first track opened there
that year. The sport was introduced |

| The sportsbooks or bookmakers are very well informed
and have a very long experience in determining the odds.
Their starting prices are usually excellent indicators
as to which greyhounds are likely to be among the first
three in a given race. Sometimes the mass of the punters
will put a lot of weight and money on a greyhound which
will then go to a false price and because of that the
other prices of greyhounds will drift in the market, that
is get longer. As a result a greyhound shown favorite
or second favorite in the early starting prices may then
drop down the list as the start of the race approaches
and his odds improve significantly, that is get longer.
This doesn't always happen but when it does, bet on the
greyhound that was initially favorite. It is always a
good value bet and in the long run you should make a profit.
