Science of Greyhound Racing Prediction by Guy Slade
It's not a Game? It's a Science!
Hello, welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit my greyhound prediction pages, my name is Guy Slade. I am an avid follower of the open race dog scene here in the United Kingdom and enjoy collecting greyhound racing memorabilia, mainly old race programmes! I have also attended race meetings at dog tracks in the USA and Australia.
In this article I explain how you can predict your own future race winners by using the Greyhound Predictor v2.0 software program and will be discussing the various racing statistics and dog formlines needed to be entered into the 'Race Predictor Stat Screen'.

Science of Greyhound Racing Prediction - Introduction
Greyhound Racing in the 21st Century offers 'greyhound punters' worldwide the chance to interactively bet on the dogs. This has created many opportunities for all predictors of dog races, with newly promised increases in UK Super Jackpot payouts, live internet race betting facilities and the increasingly popular number of dog racing web-sites, never before has the dog racegoer experienced such a revolution in greyhound racing information and technology.
To start using the 'Predictor', I firstly recommend you aquire a good informative 'daily racing newspaper' with full in-depth coverage of all today's or this evening's dog meetings, turn to the greyhound section and select a race you wish to predict!
"Greyhound Predictor Software" lets you predict dog races run over 3 middle-distance race lengths. These include: 515 metres = 563 yards, 500 metres = 547 yards and 480 metres = 525 yards. When choosing to predict a race, try selecting a race run exactly over or very close to any of these three race distances to obtain the best results!
Now start up Greyhound Predictor, double click the 'Crystal Ball' icon on your desktop.
If you haven't yet downloaded and installed Greyhound Predictor Version 2.0 then you can download a free trial. Initially you will be taken to the Information Boxes, click I Agree to start the program running. Please note: The Greyhound Predictor v2.0 trial version is 'free to try' before you buy!
As soon as the dog race simulator has loaded Press Spacebar to move through the information screens to Main Menu, from here you can select either Predictor, Betting, Gallery, Information or Options. I suggest, you start by selecting Options from the Main Menu.
Greyhound Predictor v2.0 offers a maximum 8 dog runners per race, by selecting the Option Menu you can alter the 'race settings' to the correct number of runners required and change any race length measurement into either 'metres or yards' or to enter a dog's racing weight in either 'kilos or pounds'!
Alternatively, you can pre-set your own race settings, by finding the Configuration Utility on your computer (Start - Programs - Greyhound Predictor v2.0 - Configuration) You may set any combination of the 'racetrack settings' mentioned above as the default mode of your choice. Each time you start up Greyhound Predictor both six or eight dog races run in metres or yards, kilos or pounds, will only then be saved for you!
Now are you ready to start predicting greyhound races?
From the Main Menu select 'Predictor' to navigate throughout, simply highlight your answer by using the Up/Down/Left/Right Cursor Keys situated on your keyboard, when you have selected your answer Press Spacebar to continue.
The 'Race Predictor' requires you to answer ten dog racing question categories for each selected dog runner. The first 3 questions however, always relate to each individual race set-up. Please read on.
