Say what? Having trouble sleeping?


First of all, on the subject of favorites at the greyhound track, I found a study that evaluated 4,723 greyhound races and found that the favorites win 22.3% of the time. Yes, really.

Now, why such a study and by whom? Here's the link. See for yourself

Actually, there's some really good information in there for the serious handicapper if you wish to mine for it. The bottom line: Favorites in greyhound racing are overbet and longshots are underbet.

Or, if you wish, you can sleep on it.

P.S. Here's an older similar study from NC (2000).
