Introduction
Introduction
Today sports’ betting is a big industry for the book-
makers and race organisers. Of all the people who benefit from
sports racing the “punters” (or in this case you), are the last on
the list of people who consistently gain. In fact, the greyhounds
probably gain more from these races than most punters.
Why is that? Well there are many reasons but most of them
centre on these two things:
• Lack of a proven system

• Greed
We shall closely examine these two points later in this

book but for now let me put your mind at rest, we will also look
at how to win consistently, because in this book you will learn
many techniques and systems for winning with greyhound
betting and controlling your greed.

Chapter 1
• Investing verses Gambling

Investing in Gambling
Greyhound betting is a very high-risk investment tool. It
has a bad name and stigma. Add to that the fact that most
gamblers are not investors, but instead, addicts of a vice and you
have a channel of investment that is dismissed as a bit of fun or a
mugs game.
The positive point about investing in gambling is that
wins are tax free in the UK, and probably are in your country as
well (check this for your country).
The rules to successful gambling investing are:
1. Follow a proven system.

2. Eliminate greed from your decisions.
3. Never increase your investment allocation in order to
make more profits, or recoup lost money.
In addition to the above, limit the total amount you invest

to a maximum of one week’s income. Therefore, if you earn
$50,000 per annum, invest up to:
$50,000.00 = $961.54
52
Now put your income into the equation and see how
much you can invest. It is critical that you do not break any of
the three successful gambling rules.
There are many tipsters and gambling systems offering
gambling advice or services for a fee. Avoid them all. Almost all
of them are unscrupulous fraudsters, making promises that never
materialise, whilst running off with your money.
Try and always trade your own money, as opposed to
empowering others to trade on your behalf.

Prerequisites
Before you can start investing in gambling, you will need the
following:
1. Accounts with two to three bookmakers who accept

stop at the first winner bets, deal with greyhounds,
and with horse races.
2. Internet connection. (I like to use the Opera internet
browser to display the William Hill results page
http://www.willhill.com/iibs/EN/results.asp for the
Greyhound and Horse race results, because it allows
you to auto refresh every 1 second to 30 minutes.
You can download it free from http://www.opera.
com/download). You can also use teletext access for
receiving racing results.
3. Money to invest. (As mentioned earlier, do not to
exceed a week’s wages, make this smaller if
possible).
The following are some of the most reliable bookmakers I know:
• http://www.willhill.com
• http://www.gamebookers.com
• http://www.Betfair.com
• http://www.PaddyPower.com
• http://www.PinnacleSports.com
• http://www.SportingOdds.com
• http://www.SportingBet.com
• https://www.betandwin.com
• http://www.Bet-At-Home.com
• http://www.bet365.com
• http://www.VictorChandler.com
• http://www.PremierBet.com
• http://www.SportingIndex.com
• http://www.Canbet.com
• http://www.Ladbrokes.com

• http://www.Eurobet.com
• http://www.Expekt.com
• http://www.Bets4All.com
• http://www.beteuro.com/
• http://www.coral.co.uk
When opening a bookmaker account, there are only three

things you should be interested in. These are as follows:
1. Do they accept Stop at the first Winner bets?

2. What is their minimum bet?
3. Are they free to join?
If their answers for the above questions are all “yes”,

then open an account with them. After your account is opened,
you can then transfer your investment allocation into this
account.
The next step is to set up your computer. You will need
prompt results when dealing with gambling investments. The
best way to obtain this through the internet is from the following
websites, which you should bookmark:
• http://www.racingpost.co.uk
• http://www.willhill.com/iibs/EN/results.asp
• http://www.sportinglife.com/racing/results/ for horses

Elliot Wave and Fibonacci Drains

Like all things in life, racing conforms to the Elliot Wave
and Fibonacci principles and laws. The Elliott Wave theory has
periods where there will be 61.8% losses to 38.2% wins. In
racing, you will find that using any system works well 61.8% of
the time, whilst 38.2% of the time, you will experience
5
uncharacteristic losses. Watch out for these drain periods, as I

like to call them. Unlike the equity markets, you cannot use
reverse strategies to make money during a drain period in the
betting results. You just have to stay out of the market.
Luckily, drains can be spotted easily. When your system
fails two to three times in a row, you have encountered a drain.
Stop and paper trade until you are back to consistent wins. The
wait will never be longer than a week. Whilst reading the
following systems, you will need to bear the drain principle in
mind.
Basic Greyhounds Betting Techniques

Greyhound racing unlike horseracing is not normally
affected by the weather. This is because the race is normally
held indoors. Greyhound racing however is notorious for race
fixing. In spite of all this, there are several systems for making
profits with this gambling investment.
Unlike horse racing, where a random number of horses
start each race, with greyhound racing, there are always a fixed
number of dogs in each race, six. This allows for some statistical
advantages over horseracing. The greyhounds are assigned trap
numbers, 1 to 6.
Unnamed favourites are also used in greyhound racing.
However, there tends to be a larger occurrence of co-favourites
thus lowering the chances of making profits.
There seems to be some strange patterns with dog racing
which make no statistical sense. However, these patterns can be
used to win. The patterns are as follows:
1. On any day in all the greyhound races, the trap

number that repeats first is normally going to repeat
many times at other venues throughout the day.
2. Amongst the sixteen biggest venues listed below, I
have found that trap numbers 2, 3 and 6 are regular
winners:
6
Venue
Belle Vue
Brighton and Hove
Monmore Park
Brough Park
Catford
Crayford
Hall Green
Milton Keynes
Oxford
Perry Barr
Reading
Romford
Sunderland
Swindon
Walthamstow
Wimbledon
3. Even stranger is the fact that amongst these sixteen

venues, when a favourite wins at one venue, a
favourite normally wins within the next three races
no matter the venue.
These three observations are the basis of the greyhound systems

that I have developed.
Trap Repeat Technique

For this technique, you will need to have a copy of the
sixteen venues listed previously. Then with this, go to the
following web page, which lists all the greyhound races for the
day: http://www.willhill.com/iibs/EN/allsportsandcoupons.asp?
sport=GR. Note that the races are in three sections, the morning
(11:00 until 13:30), the afternoon (14:00 until 18:00), and the
evening (18:30 until 23:00). Avoid the evening races, as most of
the race fixing occurs then, especially if the venue is not on the
list of the sixteen listed previously.
7
Firstly, obtain the two morning race venues from

http://www.willhill.com/iibs/EN/allsportsandcoupons.asp?sport
=GR. Secondly, sort them into time order as illustrated below:
Trap
Time Venue #
11:26 Sunderland
11:34 Sheffield
11:41 Sunderland
11:48 Sheffield
11:55 Sunderland
12:02 Sheffield
12:09 Sunderland
12:16 Sheffield
12:23 Sunderland
12:29 Sheffield
12:37 Sunderland
12:44 Sheffield
12:51 Sunderland
12:58 Sheffield
13:06 Sunderland
13:12 Sheffield
13:19 Sunderland
13:27 Sheffield
13:33 Sunderland
13:44 Sheffield
With the Trap Repeat Technique, you have to watch the

results of the morning and afternoon races. (The morning and
afternoon will have separate outcomes; the observation from the
morning will not necessarily hold true for the afternoon.
Therefore, observations will have to be repeated for both racing
periods). Observe the trap numbers. If you see one that appears
twice, place a 7-race grid on the next 7 races, after the second
appearance. Then place your bet with the bookmaker, making
sure you ask for a stop at the first winner bet on the 7 races with
the trap number you have observed to win.
8
Next, you will see the results for the races on the 15th July 2004.
As you can see, you would have placed your bet after the results
for the 11:34 Sheffield race came in. The results via the internet
can be delayed by up to 5 minutes; therefore, you would have
missed including the 11:41 in your grid.
Time Venue Trap # Odds

11:26 Sunderland 1 4:1
11:34 Sheffield 1 5:1
11:41 Sunderland 6 FAV 9:4 £5 lost
11:48 Sheffield 6 CF4 7:2 £11 lost
11:55 Sunderland 6 6:1 £24 lost
12:02 Sheffield 1 6:1 £52 won
12:09 Sunderland 2 FAV 3:2 £114 stop
12:16 Sheffield 5 4:1 £249 stop
12:23 Sunderland 1 FAV 7:4 £545 stop
12:29 Sheffield 6C2F3 7:2
12:44 Sheffield 3JFAV 5:2
13:06 Sunderland 2JFAV 9:4
13:33 Sunderland 2 FAV 3:2
From the results, you can see that you would have won on the
£52 stake at 6:1 odds.
To calculate your winnings, use the following formula:
(Winning bet of x odds) – (loosing bets) = Total returned

£52 + ((£52 x 6) – (£24+£11+£5)) = £324 represents 32.4% gain
9
This is a good system, as you place the bets very close to

the races thus making it more difficult for your bet size to affect
the results of the race. Secondly, you place the bet based on a
trap number, thus avoiding co-favourite price erosion.
Increasing profitability of Trap Repeat Technique

When using this system, you will observe that the repeats
often occur in the first races. For this reason, I always place my
bets backwards, thus making sure that the highest stakes are on
the earlier races. To illustrate this point, the following grid has
been used as an example:
Time Venue Stakes

12:23 Sunderland £5
12:16 Sheffield £11
Always call your bets in with the lowest stakes first. This
system requires the reversal of the race times only, NOT the
stakes.
Trap 2, 3 And 6 Capture Technique

This technique places a seven-race grid over the morning
or afternoon races, hoping to catch the third trap out of traps 2,
3, or 6, to appear.
To do this technique, you need to get the morning or
afternoons race list from the following web page:
http://www.willhill.com/iibs/EN/allsportsandcoupons.asp?sport
=GR. Now, sort them into time order. Once you have done this,
you then watch for one of these numbers (2, 3 or 6), to appear
10
twice in a row. When you spot this pattern, place a seven-race

grid over the next seven races, as below.
Time Venue Trap # Odds

11:48 Sheffield 6 CF4 7:2
12:16 Sheffield 5 4:1 £5 lost
12:23 Sunderland 1 FAV 7:4 £11 lost
12:29 Sheffield 6C2F3 7:2 £24 lost
12:37 Sunderland 3 4:1 £52 win
12:44 Sheffield 3JFAV 5:2 £114 stop
12:51 Sunderland 2 7:2 £249 stop
12:58 Sheffield 3 7:2 £545 stop
13:06 Sunderland 2JFAV 9:4
Call your bookmaker, and place a stop at the first winner bet for
the third number to appear.
To calculate your winnings, use the following equation:
(Winning bet of x odds) – (loosing bets) = Total returned

£52 + ((£52 x 4) – (£24+£11+£5)) = £168 represents 16.8% gain
Watch the results to determine whether you have won or

not. If you win, stop betting for that session (morning or
afternoon). You will only erode your profits if you continue to
bet in the same session after you have won.
11
The trap 2, 3, and 6 Capture Technique is a more volatile

system than the Trap Repeat Technique; however, it does
eliminate co-favourite price erosion. Wins are normally at or
within the first four bets in the grid.
Increasing profitability of Trap 2, 3 and 6 Capture Technique

When using this system, you will observe that the third
trap number to appear out of traps 2, 3, and 6, often occurs in the
first races in your grid. For this reason, place your bets
backwards, thus making sure that the highest stakes are on the
earlier races. To illustrate this point, the following grid has been
use as an example:
Time Venue Stakes
12:58 Sheffield £5
Always call your bets in with the lowest stakes first. This
system requires the reversal of only the race times, NOT the
stakes.
Co-Favourite Price Erosion

The unnamed favourite is a great system, but has one
major flaw. This is caused by co-favourite price erosion. When
more than one favourite wins a race, the profits are split amongst
the winners, and therefore on the principle returned too, as
illustrated in Figure 4-1. Thus in the case of a joint favourite 5 to
1 win on the last race of the previous grid, you would earn:
(545/2) + (((545/2) x 5) – (249+114+52+24+11+5)) = £1180.00
12
Figure 4-1: Effects of eroding profits from increased co- favourite 5 to 1

odds
From the graphs in Figure 4-2 and Figure 4-3, you can see that
co-favourites can also erode your wins.
Figure 4-2: Effects of eroding profits from increased co-favourite

numbers at 3 to 1 odds
13
Figure 4-3: Effects of eroding profits from increased co-favourite

numbers at 2 to 1 odds
From the graphs in Figure 4-1, Figure 4-2 and Figure 4-
3, you see that favourite and co-favourites can really erode your
wins. To guard against this problem, I use the three-grid
Unnamed Favourite Technique. Here, you have to shorten the
grid length. Therefore, for the Three Grid Unnamed Favourite
Crawl Technique, I use a three-race grid.
Three-Grid Unnamed Favourite Crawl Technique

Just as we did for the unnamed favourite grid we used for
the horse races, you will divide your allocated funds by five. If
this total is for example, $500, you will split your $500 into five
$100 pieces. This gives us a grid size and money distribution as
illustrated below.
$10
$25
$64
14
Before 11:00 am GMT, you must collect the day’s race

details and sort them into time order. Once you have your day’s
races, divide them into sets of 3 races as illustrated below:
Time Venue Bet

11:26 Sunderland $10
11:34 Sheffield $25
11:48 Sheffield $10
12:02 Sheffield $64
12:16 Sheffield $25
12:29 Sheffield $10
12:44 Sheffield $64
12:58 Sheffield $25
13:12 Sheffield $10
13:27 Sheffield $64
13:44 Sheffield $25
Remove the incomplete grid from the end of the list. Call
your bookmaker and place your bets. Make sure you tell them
you want to place a stop at the first winner bet on unnamed
favourites to win.
Place the first five stop at the first winner bets first. If
you are in profit after these five, stop betting for the day. If not,
then place the rest of bets from your grid. To show you how this
works, let us view some actual results.

12:58 Sheffield lose 7:2 $25 $0
13:06 Sunderland JFAV 9:4 $64 $69
Total $355.25
From the results of the morning races in the grid above,

you see that you have to stop after your first five bets, as you are
up 255.25%. This is the time to apply greed management.
Because you are in profit, you should not continue for the rest of
the day.
The Grids
Most bookmakers accept a minimum bet of £5, thus the
grid structures have a minimum starting stake of five.
Subsequent stakes after this minimum grow by a factor of two,
or as close to two as possible. Therefore, the most efficient grids
are as follows:
16
The 2-race grid:

As you can see, the total grid stakes rise dramatically

with grid size. This means that profitability therefore drops with
wins. We will look at ways to deal with this challenge, starting
with the Triple Bottom Technique.

Advanced Techniques
Advanced Techniques
We will now look at some more advanced greyhound
betting techniques.
The 7-Sum Chase Technique

This technique is very simple. You need to use a 3-grid
bet stake. Use it only on the morning and afternoon greyhound
races. Firstly, list all the races in time order in your spreadsheet.
Wait for the first races’ result. After you receive the results of
the first race of the day, you may begin.
Depending on what trap came first, you will subtract the
trap number from 7 and place a bet on the result. For example, if
trap 6 came first then 7-6=1 so bet your first stake on trap 1 to
win the next race. If you win wait until the next 2 race results
come in (this is as if you are using a stop at first winner bet.
When you win, you do not place further bets from the 3 grid
stakes). This means if you won on the second race in the grid
you would stop and not place a bet on the third race of the grid.
After a complete grid of races is over you may start again with
the next three races.
There will be roughly sixteen 3-grid blocks in each day.
On average, you will win in 61.8% of them and loose in 38.2%
of them. Keep this in mind.
Remember the Fibonacci division of 61.8 to 38.2%. Use
this to guard against your greed. If you win half of your day’s
grids consecutively, stop for the day, as you will inevitably loose
most grids after that. Aim to win double what you loose then
stop for the day.
Because you are betting on traps, you will not experience
co-favourite price erosions. Moreover, you will often win on 3-
1, 4-1, 5-1, 6-1, or better odds.

12:58 Walthamstow 1 1 Win 5
13:19 Wimbledon 1 4 loose 5
Table 1: Example of 7-sum chase technique
From Table 1, you can see how the 7-Sum Chase
Technique works in practice. Remember to observe the drain
periods as well as stopping as soon as you have won twice as
many grids as you have lost.
Note also that in the bet on trap column of Table 1, the
previous race result is subtracted from 7 to obtain the trap
number to bet on in the next race.
Note also that within each grid, we stop at the first
winner (see the stake column of Table 1).
22
Advanced Techniques
The Triple Bottom Technique

This simple greyhound technique is based on the trap
number of the dog that came second. It works as follows:
If the same trap comes, second in two consecutive races

in the morning or afternoon greyhound races, place a three-grid
stop at the first winner bet on the next three races in time order
of first race, third race, and second race. An example illustrating
this point is shown below:
12:51 Sunderland £ 143.00

13:06 Sunderland £ 286.00
12:58 Sheffield £ 571.00
In the above example, the first race is 12:51, then 12:58,

and finally the 13:06. As you can see, the races have been
arranged in order of first, third, and second. The reason for this
is that the second race seems to win more than the other two.
Therefore, by placing it against the largest stake (the third stake),
you increase your winnings whenever the second race alone
wins.
This system has a high reliability rate. In addition to this,

because you are betting on traps, you will not suffer from the co-
favourite price erosions experienced when the there are joint or
co-favourite wins.
The Fibonacci Spread Technique (FST)

Before reading, this section, first read Appendix 1. The
Fibonacci 61.8% and 38.2% add up to make a perfect 100%. In
greyhound racing, something interesting occurs when you take
all the day’s races and divide them into sets of three races. You
will find that the unnamed favourite wins in 61.8% of the sets,
whilst loosing in 38.2% of the sets. The Fibonacci Spread
Technique (FST) is based on this phenomenon.
23
To work this technique, you must first gather all the

greyhound races of a session (morning or afternoon races). With
greyhound racing, never bet on the races in the evening after
18:00 pm GMT. These races have terrible favourite odds and
many multiple favourites win. This adds up to a loosing night.
In greyhound racing, you will have races from 11:26

until 17:20; however, I find it better to separate the greyhound
races of the morning from the afternoon races.
AVOID USING THIS TECHNIQUE ON FRIDAYS AND

SUNDAYS.
On Friday and Sundays, the betting volumes tend to be

very low. This seems to cause the winning odds to be lower.
Occurrences of co-favourite wins will erode your returns further.
FST on the morning greyhounds

There are 6.67 three-race grids in the morning
greyhounds (six complete three-race grids, and 2 races extra
forming an incomplete grid). So using Fibonacci, we use the
following calculations:
Winning grids = 6.67 x 0.618 = 4.1

Losing grids = 6.67 x 0.382 = 2.5
From this result, you can see that four of your three-race
grids will win, and two of them will loose. This rule stands true
for all high bet volume races. (Normally, Saturday is the highest
whilst, Monday to Thursday are average).
The winners tend to occur separately to the losers, so that

you will often find four winning grids together, and two loosing
grids, one after the other. The key here is that you will be in
profit on the day if you only have one loosing grid, therefore as
24
Advanced Techniques
soon as you loose a grid, stop. Wait until you spot a winning grid
before continuing.
This technique works well on horse racing too. What you
must do however, is stick to the grids, and not deviate from the
system. You will need timely race results to decide whether to
enter into the next grid or not. If you do not have the results by
the time a grid’s earliest race occurs, do not carry on. You must
wait until the next grid.
During the weekdays, the horse races can have terrible
odds on the favourites. For this reason, I prefer to invest in the
morning and sometimes afternoon, greyhound races.
As with other techniques, reverse the times of the races
for maximum profitability as illustrated in Table 4-1 and Table
4-2.

The Single Hit Fibonacci Spread Technique

(SHFST)
There is an even more profitable technique utilising the
Fibonacci spread phenomenon. This system requires you waiting
until you see the 38.2% three-race grid losses occur, followed by
a subsequent single grid win. This will mean that the drain is
over therefore, any grid bet from then until the end of the session
will win. So now, you can place the next grid with 50% of your
betting allocation. This 50% allocation is to ensure that if the
next grid looses, you will not be wiped out.
You will win about 20% or more of your betting stake
back. This represents a 10% minimum win per day. (Winning 5
days, a week will equal a 50% per week win).
Reverse the races, so that the first is the furthest away,
whilst the last is the next race. When placing your bets, place the
stop at the first winner bet within 5 minutes of the previous race.
In Table 4-3, you would have waited until 15:43 before placing
the 16:08, 15:58, and 15:48 Stop at the first winner bet. I have
used £100 betting totals for each three-race grid.

Table 4-3: Using the single hit Fibonacci Technique (FST)
If you want to use a different betting allocation value (as

opposed to the £100 betting total per each three-race grid above),
28
Advanced Techniques
you will need to calculate how to spread this balance across the
grid.
Multiply the total stake by 0.142857142857143 to get the
stake for the first race. Next, multiply the total stake by
0.285714285714286 to get the stake for the second race. Finally,
multiply the total stake by 0.571428571428571 to get the stake
for the last race.
As an example, if you had £750 to invest, you would do
the following:
£107 750 x 0.142857142857143

£214 750 x 0.285714285714286
£429 750 x 0.571428571428571
£750
You can key these equations into a spreadsheet

application, and have this calculation automatically executed
every time you change the total stake.
Please note that if all the winning grids occur at the start
of the day, and the loosing grids occur at the end of the day, you
should not place any bets that day, as doing so will be deviating
from the system.
Single Bet Popular Trap Chase (SBPTC)

This technique requires time, but it is great if you have
the time to dedicate to it. SBPTC is very profitable and can be
used any day of the week on greyhound races. It works as
follows.
You keep a tally of the trap number appearances so that
as soon a trap wins twice, and has won more races than all the
other traps of the session (morning or afternoon only), you place
a bet on the next race for that same trap to win.
If this trap looses in the next race, but is still the highest
winner of the session, then place another bet on the same trap for
the next race. The betting stakes to use are as follows:
29
£5
£9
£15
£27
£47
£82
£144
£251
£440
£770
If you have the funds, you could use the following stakes
instead:
£25
£44
£77
£134
£234
£410
£718
£1,257
£2,199
£3,848
Remember not to use a stop at the first winner bet, as this

technique requires individual bets placed manually. After each
race, your tally of the top-winning trap may change. Therefore,
you will need to decide on your bet stake size with each result.
As soon as you win, reset the betting stake back to the
lowest stake (in the examples above this would be £5 or £25).
Continue until you only have five races or less left for the
session (morning or afternoon) after a win, then stop for the
session. You may start again in the next session, but treat each
session individually.

Using this technique, you would have started by betting

on trap 1 after you received the results of the 11:34 race.
However, you would have swapped from trap 1 to trap 3 after
31
the 12:09 race. You would have continued to bet on trap 3 until
near the end of the day when you would have switched back to
trap 1, after the 13:12 race. You would have won six races in
total. Remember that you are only interested in the number of
times a trap came first.
SBPTC Contention Settlement

When using SBPTC, you will sometimes have
contentions, i.e. two or more traps with the exact same amount
of scoring (they have appeared first the same amount of times,
and they have equally appeared the same amount in second and
third positions too). In these special cases, you will have to
judge, using the trap with the most second appearances.
Therefore, in Table 4-5, you will see that trap three appeared
five times in second place compared to trap 2, which had three-
second place appearances, and trap 6, which only had one-
second place appearance.

The Grand Slammer Technique

At the beginning of this book, I mentioned that the race
results conformed to the Elliot Wave and Fibonacci theories, and
that 38.2% of the time, you would experience uncharacteristic
losses, which were drain periods. The Grand Slammer
Technique was designed to deal with the drain observations.
This technique involves a lot of waiting until you spot a drain.
The drain period could be a time where there is a lack of
favourites, joint favourites and co-favourites winning, but with
generally awful odds like 10:9 or 1:3 etc. After each favourite
drain, there is a string of wins, normally the following day. You
will see favourites occurring twice every five races or better.
When you spot this, the drain is over. You then place a large
stop at the first winner bet on the next three races.
Make sure you reverse the times and place the bet very
close to the start time of the first race in your three-race grid.
You can use a larger amount than normal for the Grand
Slammer, as long as you do not exceed a week’s wages in this
investment category.
Exception: If the first grid of the session (morning or afternoon)

is a loser, and the second is a winner (see illustration below), do
not play that day. If you must play, wait until you see two
consecutive grids win. This exception will save you many
loosing days if you observe it.

On average, wins with this technique are normally 50%

or better of the total stake. Possibilities of loosing are greatly
minimised by using the Elliot Wave cycle to determine your
point of entry. However, I also never exceed 50% of my
gambling allocation with the Grand Slammer Technique.
Remember that you can use the Grand Slammer on the
horses or greyhounds, but do not mix the two in any one bet.
When drains occur in one, they normally do not occur in the
other.
The Non-Loosing Technique (NLT)

When designing this system, the criteria was simple: to
design a system that never lost, was simple enough for anyone to
apply, required less than one hour a day to execute, required a
single bet a day to maintain, and the profits for the first year
should exceed £100,000 tax free. The Non-Loosing Technique
was born.
How does the NLT work

There are three reasons why this system works; firstly, a
very small betting base is used (£25 per bet). After each grid
loss, the stake is doubled until you win. After this, the betting
base returns to the first grid size, £25. Therefore, only a small
amount is needed for this technique. The second reason why this
system works is that the grid size is only two races long, as in
the example below. The use of this small grid size means that
35
losses have less of an effect on your betting allocation, whilst the

effect of winning greatly increases your profit.
£5
£20
The third reason is that in this technique, you are betting on the
trap number that was the first in the day to appear three times.
Because of this, you always win and make money when you
win, rather than having your winnings eroded by joint favourites.
Here are the actions to take each day for this technique:
1. Find the two race venues of the morning.

2. Watch the results for the first trap to appear three
times.
3. Immediately after you spot the third appearance,
place a Stop at the first winner bet on the next two
races for the same trap number to win.
4. If you loose, double the betting stakes the next day.
5. Each day, start this cycle again. (The five-day version
will be only Mondays to Fridays).
Only place a single bet each day. Some days will be a non-racing
day i.e. Christmas day, so continue on the next racing day as
normal after these non-racing days.
This technique will now be explained using the following

grid. Here, you would have placed your two-race stop at the first
winner bet on trap number 1 to win at the 12:23 and 12:29 races.

In the mornings for UK greyhound races, one or more

traps will appear three times or more. The first trap to win three
times is what you look out for, because you will place your stop
at the first winner bet immediately after the third appearance.
Normally your first bet will loose, which is an advantage. You
want to loose your first bet in order to double your betting base
to a substantial figure. You will eventually win after less than
ten losses, and by this stage, your profits will be multiplied by
the last betting base figures. The results are illustrated below:

As you can see, the more you loose, the more you risk
until eventually you win. From this grid, you will see the single
flaw in this system. You need a lot of investment capital for the
potential eventuality of a major loss. So far using this system, I
have not experienced more than eight losses in a row before a
win, but the potential is there. Luckily, if you play this system
for any amount of years, you will earn enough to be able to fund
that potential loss.
Because of the sums of money required to maintain this
system, I would not advise it for anyone who is not debt free,
financially secure, and financially independent. If you cannot
afford to invest in excess of £25,000 before you see returns, then
this technique is not for you, and you should stick to other
investments. For the few who can afford to invest a potential
£25,000, this system will make you hundreds of thousands every
year. You will need to place your bet daily, and keep track of
your winnings and losses to determine the next betting size.
If you play seven days a week, you will need a smaller
buffer for the potential losses to use this system (less than
£25,000). For those who have close to £100,000 to invest, you
can trade Mondays to Fridays only. The five-day week version
of this system will make you more money, but the losses can
often last longer.
You will not make regular large wins with this system,
but over a six-month period, you will make in excess of £50,000,
depending on your investment. The longer you use this system,
the more profits you stand to make.
The following illustrations show the results of the best

month of 2004 using this system (five-day version).

Improving On The NLT

To improve the performance of the Non-Losing
Technique, only play for a win on the second race. Here, the first
race is used as a trigger for betting on the second race. If the first
race wins, you do not place a bet on the second race, and if it
looses, then you do. Reset the betting base to £25 if the second
race wins.
Therefore, in this technique, watch for the third
appearance of the same trap, and then watch for a loss in the
next race, straight after the third appearance. If this is a win,
reset your betting base and start again the next day. However, if
it is a loss, call the bookmaker and place your entire grid
allocation for that day on the second race to win, with the trap
number that was first to appear three times that day. This system
will return 15% to 25% more than general NLT over a twelve-
month period.
Tip: After the second appearance of the any trap, call your
bookmaker for the race results three minutes after the races.
Bookmakers get the results two to three minutes after the race,
whilst the results on the internet appear five to eight minutes
after the race. This will give you more time to decide whether
you will be placing a bet or not.

Summary
Betting is a risky business and no more so than
Greyhound betting. You have just completed a crash course in
successful Greyhound betting. The information you now know
cost me over £50,000 in losses to learn. You are lucky because it
cost you less than £100 to gain the same knowledge. I hope you
use it wisely. Remember knowing the technique is not enough.
You also have to apply greed management in order to win in
Greyhound betting.
You have been given over eight techniques to use when
betting on Greyhound races. Treat them as your box of tools and
use them as such. Remember if at any stage, you have two or
three loosing days, STOP. Analyse your self to see where you
may be going wrong. If you cannot find fault in what you are
doing then remember the Fibonacci drain principle. Wait and
monitor the race results until your system begins to work again,
then, and only then, should you get back in the play.
Greyhound betting, like any investment type, requires
dedication, discipline and most importantly, accurate monitoring
of statistics. If you are not keeping accurate result sheets for
each betting session, you may not be able to argue with
bookmakers over incorrectly placed bets or review your
performance in order to improve.
You have been shown techniques that, as a set, work
under all market conditions. So if one particular technique is not
working well on a particular day (remember the “drain”) switch
to another. I like to use any of the trap systems and switch to an
unnamed favourite system when the trap system experiences a
“drain”.
I wish you the best of luck using these techniques, and
hope you too can benefit from consistent and regular winning
days whilst engaged in Greyhound betting.

Appendix 2
Elliot Wave
Stock markets were thought to be chaotic and without
any order but during 1929 Ralph Nelson Elliott discovered a
repeating pattern in the stock markets. He found a fractal type
mathematical model to define the pullbacks and gains that a
stock and the markets as a whole go through. This work was
later improved on and published in the ground breaking book,
“The Elliott Wave Principle – The Key to Stock Market Profits”
by Robert Prechter and A.J. Frost (published by John Wiley and
Sons Ltd). Get this book if you want to learn a lot more about
this theory. In this work, I will only be covering Elliot Wave
theory so that any one can use it to create profits. You do not
need t be a mathematician to do that.
The theory is simple enough; it states that there are 5
impulsive waves and 3 corrective waves in stock or market
movement. If you looked closer at these waves you would see
that smaller waves existed within each wave itself, and so on and
so on, giving a fractal effect.
You can see in Fig 1 the repeating five impulsive and
three corrective wave cycles.
47
Fig 1: The basic principle of Elliot wave theory.
In Fig 1, you see that after “C” the pattern repeats itself,
starting back at “1” again. Let us have a look at some practical
uses of this wave theory.
Like most things in life, racing conforms to the Elliot
wave and Fibonacci principles and laws. In racing, you will find
that using any system works great 61.8% of the time whilst
38.2% of the time you will experience uncharacteristic losses.
Remember also that the Elliott Wave theory also has periods
where there will be 61.8% losses to 38.2% wins. Watch out for
these “drain” periods, as I like to call them. Unlike the equity
market, you cannot use reverse strategies to make money during
a drain in the betting results. You just have to stay out of the
market.
Luckily, drains can be easily spotted. When your system
fails 2 to 3 times in a row, you have encountered a drain. Stop
and paper trade until you are back to consistent wins. The wait
will never be longer than a week for Greyhound racing. Whilst
reading the following systems please bear the drain in mind.

Living the Ultimate Truth, 2nd Edition

Today most people live a poor example of a balanced life. The

centuries of wisdom passed down from the great leaders of our
past seem lost amid lives centred on minutia and selfishness.
Today we care more about what we wear and where we are seen,
than we do about discovering and Living the Ultimate Truth.
Throughout the world, there is an imbalance in people’s
spirituality, consciousness, and inner harmony. This has taken a
great toll on our environment, our health, and our happiness.
Many are wondering around like lost sheep, seeking a shepherd
in all the wrong places. Many false prophets have promised
quick fixes to these problems, but if these solutions are not
firmly rooted in The Creator, love, integrity and inner harmony,
they are doomed to fail. This book is a reminder of all those
virtues and universal principles that we need, to return to a
balanced, harmonious, and happy life. You will learn to love
yourself, love others, and finally find that inner peace you seek
through spiritual growth.

Developing Personal Integrity, 2nd Edition

bound
ISBN: 1-4116-2376-2
Blankson
Language: English
Publisher: Lulu.com
In the field of human character development, integrity is the last

frontier. Many people use the word, but few really know what
real integrity is. This book breaks down the fundamental
components of personal integrity and offers a path to attaining it.
Like success or happiness, integrity is a journey not a
destination. We can only measure how far on the path we are
through the observation of our inner voice, the voice of our
conscience, and through deep contemplation and reflection. This
journey of personal excellence is not an easy one, and as a friend
once said, “When peeling this onion, sometimes you cry.”
Nevertheless, in all great endeavours, the harder the struggle, the
greater the victory will be.

How to win at Greyhound betting

ISBN: 1-4116-2377-0
Blankson
Language: English
Publisher: Lulu.com
Today, sports betting is a big industry for the bookmakers and

organisers. Of all the people who benefit from sports racing, the
“punters” (or in this case, you), are the last on the list of people
who consistently gain. In fact, the greyhounds probably gain
more from these races than most punters. Why is that? Well,
there are many reasons, but most of them centre on these two
things: lack of a proven system, and greed. This book closely
examines these two points, and offers techniques and systems
for achieving consistent wins in greyhound betting.

found a way around this problem.
You can avoid taxes and V.A.T. (Value Added Tax) by buying
fine wine on Bond (also called wine Futures or En Primeur).
This book covers a simple and effective way in which anybody
coming into the fine wine investing market place can safely
securely and successfully select, and invest in En Primeur Wine.
