Best ever introduction and advice to Greyhound Racing,
By Beverly J. VanBuren (Roscoe, Il USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How To Beat The Dog Races (Paperback)
From Beverly Vanburen of Illinois. This is not only an introduction (or how to) book, but is filled with many factors of racing and suggestions on how to use them. There are helpful charts included, as well as greyhound racing terms. If you take the time to read and study this book, you will find yourself winning more often at the track. I've read the book three times and I was not a novice when I bought the book. I had been handicapping for severl years, yet I still learned from Bill's book. It will be one of the best selections you've ever made.

Best I have seen,
By cakeman (fayetteville, ga United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How To Beat The Dog Races (Paperback)
This is by far the best book I have ever read on Greyhound racing. If you are relatively new to handicapping the pups this book will put you well ahead of the competition, if you are a veteran it is sure to provide plenty of information you might be neglecting in your capping. You will be able to design your own system by following the steps laid out in the book, and that means you will stand a chance when you go to the window to place a wager. There are few books out there worth reading in the Greyhound racing world, this is one of the few.

If you want a Greyhound Racing book, this is definitely the one to get,

This review is from: How To Beat The Dog Races (Paperback)
I recently got interested in greyhound racing, and my results have been pretty hit or miss. Time to get educated. So I bought this book.
The ideas presented in this book will take time to apply. Make no mistake. He is not giving you a system here. He is teaching you how to look at past results and develop your own. There's no quick and easy path here. You gotta work for it. Don't misunderstand me though. He definitely does throw in a lot of extra factors to consider which show his vast experience in this field. If you are willing to put in the work, I think the ideas presented in this book will give you a very good chance of positive returns at the track. He also presents some worksheets in the book that you can use as you develop and apply your system. The concepts could easily be applied to other forms of gambling, but the extra bits of info are all clearly geared towards greyhound racing. Good book. But reading it is just going to be the start. I don't plan to wager another dollar at the track until I apply what I have learned in this book. I don't know how it would be possible to do better than this book if you are trying to decide which greyhound racing book to purchase. Edit: I listed this book at 5 stars, but Amazon dropped it to 4. Not sure what happened there.
