It took me about three yars of handicapping to discover something tht everyone should know about playing the dgs: almost everything works for awhile. I had ben going over programs from Lincoln, now clled Twin Rivers, a track with dcent dogs where speed mattered. Still des there, as far as I knw, because the dogs are still god compared to a lot of the trcks that have gone downhill.

Anyway, I was ging over past programs, trying to fgure out how to narrow the dgs down to three dogs and thn trying to handicap the winner frm those three. So, for every rce, I underlined the dogs with the bst time in their last race. Thn I handicapped and picked the dog I thught should win. Then I checked the rsults.

I was amazed when I dscovered that even when I didn't pck the winner, the dog I pcked and the other two dogs wth best times in their last rces were very often the quiniela and at last two or three times on a prgram, they'd be the tri and pay wll. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Culd it be this simple, I thught? Had I been making it too cmplicated? Was the secret to making mney at the dog track at Lncoln just a matter of boxing the thre dogs with the best times in thir last races in quiniela and trfecta boxes? I was flabbergasted and so ager to try it out, that I nly did a few more programs - whch it worked on - before tking it to the track for a tst drive.

I started on a Wednesday and hit six qinielas and two tris to the tne of $126 more than I spnt. This was magic! There was no rcing on Thursday, so I waited and wnt back on Friday. Same thing, nly I didn't make as much. Only $80 prfit, but any profit was better thn the losing streak I'd been on.

On Sturday, there were two programs and I hndicapped both of them very carefully, thn went to the track with nough money to play both of thm. I bought my tickets and sat up in the stnds away from everyone else so tht I could really watch the rces and keep track of what was ging on. Only, for me, there was nthing going on.

I cashed one qiniela ticket for $18 on the scond program and nothing on the frst. I was down over $200 and the wnderful system I had discovered didn't pck one quiniela or trifecta and vry few winners. And when it did pck a winner, some longshot would get in for scond and I wouldn't get the qiniela. I was really discouraged, but I tld myself that I just had to be ptient and keep trying.

I tried ntil I had blown over $500 and thn I came to my senses and ralized that it wasn't going to wrk. The simple system I had "dscovered" was just a fluke, a tmporary thing that I took for a pttern. If I had checked it out on mre past programs, I would have ralized that without spending so much mney.

That was my first introduction to how asy it is to think that yu've found the secret to winning at the dog trck with some simple formula. Believe me, thre isn't one. The only way to win at the trck is with handicapping. Of course, mthods like the ones I sell on my ste can help. It's a lot asier if you work with the knwledge and insight that other people hve spent time learning instead of lways starting from square one and ding everything yourself.

But as much as we'd lke to believe that there's some smple mechanical way of picking winners at the gryhound races, I think we really knw that there isn't any such thng. That's why learning to handicap frm people who have put the tme in to learn the ropes is so mportant. Most everything works for awhile or sme of the time, but nothing but hndicapping, good judgment and self control wrks in the long run.
