All About Us

I have always had an interest in greyhound racing and have kept racing data for years. I liked to select certain dogs that had been running well and then follow them. The biggest win I ever had was using this method of following particular dogs. 

The one dog I had been following had been climbing the grading ladder starting in grade 7. She went onto smash the opposition winning by 4 lengths and had even stumbled at the first bend. She then went onto grade 5 and then 4 but had blown the other dogs away. The next race was a grade 3 but she still looked good enough to win, when comparing the opposition. She was priced at a massive 8/1 and I couldn’t understand why considering how she had raced before. I followed my instinct and placed a bet £100 bet on 8/1, thinking that her odds would tumble but, they didn’t. Something though was digging away at me so I put another £100 on and then another £100. This is something normally I wouldn’t do, gambling so much money. 

Anyway, she went on to win easily and I banked a massive profit, just from following a certain dog. This gave me the push I needed and my record-keeping then, stepped up and before long I was keeping stats and data from every greyhound in the UK.

I was manually entering this data at the beginning and as you can imagine, it was taking a lot of time. I had some software built that kept better records than I could store manually and now every aspect of a greyhound’s previous races in analyzed, even how they get on in the race.
