Flying winner

If you are looking for some new trading ideas you may want to look at Greyhound racing. Most meetings are bags meeting and attract little volume, but the televised meetings seem to pull in decent turnover. Last week I stumbled across an evening card at Perry Barr and had a dabble.

You can put through reasonable volumes through these markets, in one race alone I accounted for just over 7% of the the entire market! It was a curious market also, the favourite plunged into 1.04 at some point, possibly a case of fat fingers or a similar error but the backer got away with it as the dog won comfortably.

Despite my turnover, I only managed to get just over £80 in total from the two races I did. Not a great return on turnover but a useful result none the less.
