A friend of mine, an extremely intelligent guy, has spent years trying to beat the dogs, it is extraordinarily difficult. I used to play the dogs as well as the horses, but it just takes too much time to handicap the dog races (for me, anyway). I have given up.

At the right tracks, I've done pretty well over the years boxing two dogs with four others in the tri's. $24 wager. Lots of at least double digit collecting action, and a good amount of triple digit collecting, and a fair share of signers.

Now, I say "the right tracks" cause the pool is everything.

I was at the Phoenix dog track last year and I swear there were less than 50 people in the place. No fun betting there.

But, I do enjoy watching their live races on the internet occasionally. Even with no wager.
