Got them WMD's! Got that Pandemic!
I'm going greyhound racing in 30 minutes, I've never been before and suck at gambling. It's also a work party.

How do I win big? Can I read greyhound form by eye? Will I become a dog whisperer?

You should have posted this thread after your experience, so you won't have to feel awful for attending during the races.

On the plus side, greyhound rescues are a thing and they are baller dogs.

ive been down the dogs before in essex one time and let me tell you this the trick is to watch what dog shits itself before the race and stick a monkey on it, think about it lighter dog equals quicker dog

yeah but be careful when you do that, looking for making GBS threads dogs is the race tracks equivalent of counting cards...

Bad Moons, Bad Moons, wot ya gonna do?


My tip would be to completely ignore all the bizarre coded poo poo which gives you information about each dog. Literally noone on earth understands it, you may as well just try and read the necronomicon it'd probably be easier.

I have a greyhound and they are real weird. She stares at me while I'm on the computer and it's creepy as gently caress.

I'm pretty sure if someone killed me, she would sit there and stare at my corpse until she died as well. Good dog.

I hope you have a flat cap and one of those jackets Del Boy wears.

Also say random phrases in a cockney accent to fit in.

I always thought it unfair that when a dog actually catches the mechanical rabbit lure during a race, they aren't crowned automatic Winner Of Greyhounding and instead are painfully shocked to death. What more do you want the fuckin dog to do, ya know?

They should really jazz up the sport. Attach the dogs to gliders, fire them out of cannons, and have them chase a rabbit-quadrocopter through the countryside.
