Race and Final Conclusion
In this final section of 'The Science of Greyhound Racing Prediction' I explain how to use our Greyhound Racing Simulator to view your own dog races and discuss the relevant and underlying probabilities of achieving a successful winning race prediction.
The Race
Greyhound Predictor Version 2.0 lets you watch real-time simulated greyhound racing in the comfort of your own home!
Once the GP Greyhound-Track has loaded, you may then select the Display Mode by using the left/right cursor keys situated on your keyboard. This 'special race feature' lets you view the current 'dog speeds' in either metres or yards per second, miles or kilometres per hour and also shows the actual distances travelled by each greyhound at any point around the track.
Now Press Spacebar to start the hare running. As soon as the 'traps open' each greyhound's race position will be continuously up dated in the 'Predictor' shown on both sides of your computer screen.
During the race, you can Press Spacebar to pause the action. This allows all 'greyhound players' the opportunity to examine the expected racing positions of the dogs anywhere around the circuit, therefore, allowing you to study future possibilities of any crowding, bumping or baulking occuring between the runners at any time in a race. Please note: by re-pressing the spacebar the race continues from the exact moment in time, it was originally paused, note also that all winning racetimes or greyhound racing predictions are not effected by pausing then re-starting a race.
As soon as the race finishes, the official result will be displayed, together with the official winning time, the leading dog's fastest sectional time, the track conditions, the race length and each dog's predicted final finishing position!
You may then select Photo to see the actual virtual photo finish as the first greyhound crosses the winning line.
After the race, you may select Race Again. Please note: this limited game feature is only fully functionable in the full registered version!
Registering Greyhound Predictor not only lets you 're-run the race again' with all the dog statistics saved for you and thus informs you of other possible variations of the same race, but most importantly lets you go back and alter quickly any greyhound data that needs to be changed!
To get the very best results, I suggest each race set-up, be run several times with all 'final predictions' written down seperately and studied carefully! in order to obtain the necessary insight required to make an accurate and successful winning bet!
The Science of Greyhound Racing Prediction - Final Conclusion
It is with immense gratitude to my own family and friends and the many people, who over the years and more recently via the internet, have shared with me their own greyhound knowledge, that I'm now able to express my own original ideas and general observations in attempting to fully comprehend the complexities involved when studying 'the science of greyhound prediction'.
Dog racing fans, regularly inquire as to the actual 'strike rate' or 'percentage of winners' concerning the accuracy of Greyhound Predictor? However, unlike other greyhound tipping services, we believe, each 'Predictor' will have their own independent strike rate of winners and therefore no percentages are stated. Although, in fairness, I should explain the general probabilities involved in predicting real greyhound races.
Picking dog winners technically speaking, will always be easier in '6 dog racing countries' such as UK, Irish and European greyhound racing, where the probability of backing a winner is theoretically 1 in 6 compared to '8 dog racing nations' such as Australian, New Zealand, North American, South American and Asian greyhound racing, where the probability is always theoretically 1 in 8.
Predicting the first and second in a race, as in greyhound forecasts or quinellas is easier in UK, Irish and European dog racing, as the probability is 1 in 30 (6 x 5) compared to 1 in 56 (8 x 7) in 8 dog greyhound race countries.
The theoretical probability of successfully predicting the first, second and third as in straight tricast bets is 1 in 120 (6 x 5 x 4) in 6 dog racing countries which is obviously more predictable then 8 dog race trifectas where the probability is 1 in 336 (8 x 7 x 6).
Predicting the first four places in correct race order, as in Superfecta bets is only operational in greyhound countries with 8 dog tote pool races such as America and theoretically has a probability of 1 in 1680 (8 x 7 x 6 x 5).
All 'greyhound gamblers' will appreciate that these 'underlying probabilities' always exist when betting on greyhounds.
It is my opinion that a greyhound's fastest time is by far the most important statistic and therefore, I suggest you focus your attention on this 'race-time data', as overall, the accuracy of your predictions will almost certainly depend on the relevant accuracy of the information entered!
GP v2.0 allows you to pre-study middle-distance greyhound races run in real-racetime, it takes into consideration all the so called 'imponderables' and 'variables' and offers you a realistic chance of predicting your own future dog winners!
Greyhound Predictor really is "The tipping tool with a difference!"
