SOUTHLAND Recap - Saturday, December 12

Welcome to another Saturday evening card of entertaining and exciting greyhound racing at Southland as there are 18 races on tap for your viewing and wagering pleasure. As many of you know who follow MoneyMaker Mike's Southland previews, from time to time I like to go outside the box with picks and predictions and for a couple of programs both this week and last week, I monitored those greyhounds who were going for three straight wins. I did this a few months back and I was surprised to see that only a few were able to make it three wins in a row during that study. Here is the recap of how the selections did over the past two weeks and this time the results seem to have turned out better. Good luck to all and thanks for reading.

Of the 17 times that the greyhound picked had an opportunity to make it three straight or four straight wins during this short study, the result was 6 times they won for a 33% rate of success. Of those 17, the greyhound selected finished in the top four 10 times. One greyhound - KEEPER POCKET - was able to make it 4 straight wins. These of course are unscientific studies but it does give some insight into what different strategies can be used by the betting public in their handicapping of races.
