pcbear 10,913 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Anyone go? I was at Crayford dogs tonight and they had the Shawfield races on the screens there, apart from losing all my money I had a good night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurrayWilson 3,381 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Went a few weeks ago after the partick home game, took the family. It has without doubt seen better days but we had a good night out and the youngest boy whos 10 even picked a couple of winners. A change from the pictures anyway.

I studied all the form, last races, what category, what trap, times to first bend etc etc betted accordingly and never won a coin, my wife picked the dogs she liked the names of and was quids in.

MurrayWilson 3,381 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 You can study form all you want, the scientific method my 10 year old employed was to watch which dog had a crap just before the race and go for that one. It stands to reason its going to be lighter, his dogs won and mine never so who am I to argue? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEE 4,880 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Good night out and would suggest it for a cheap stag night. The betting is fucked up though, know a boy with a dog and he feeds it mars bars etc before a race a good few times until odds go up then lumps on.

"That dug's had a shite!" someone shouts, and about 40 people descend on the Tote waving £20 notes about shouting Trap 4! Trap 4!. One thing that put me off it a wee bit is there's a very short turnaround time to get your bets in between races. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
