    Oh I used to go a lot and loved it - nearest one to me now is quite a way - prob just as well cos I tend to get carried away with betting [​IMG] Hope you have a great time Rosa

    had a great night didnt win a thing but enjoyed curry and chips must admit although had a pleasant evening, much prefer horse-racing you can study their form.

    ;)Sorry you didnt win Rosa.....
    But I know a system next time you go.
    OK....... they feed the ones they dont want to win so they are happy and wag their tails.........
    but the hungry ones look very miserable and hold their tails tight under their legs and the one that looks the most miserable usualy wins....

    This system usually costs hundreds of pounds but I am giving it FREE to all GC members .
    Good Luck.....
    PS This doesnt work for horses.. ;)

    I spent a few years working in a betting office and used to win loads of money..and had some great days out at the races also....i have only been to the dogs once but did very well..my boss kept telling me which one to back.. so i ignored him ..and came out loaded with money ..I had so much i lent the boss some.. I have also worked at cheltenham for gold cup week and had a great time..The best horse i ever backed was winnie the witch at 40/1 i cleaned up that day..

    its quite funny but most of the ones i put money on did look miserable and i still didnt win.
    I noticed number 3 kept coming up and on the 13th race a couple had backed 3 and 5 and they both came up of course i did not back them.
    My hubby is good at gambling last time we went to the dogs he went down to the on course bookies and won, i didnt.
    I wouldnt even go to our local bookies and back on a dog, just no luck will stick to horse-racing in future.

    We had a racing greyhound abandoned outside our house years ago - we retrained her and entered her at a local stadium only to find out why she had been dumped - she was FAST and fought to get into the lead .......so that she could turn round and have a go at the other dogs [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
    Quick exit and a pet greyhound for the rest of her life!
