Greyhound Handicap – Focus on Winning

I am married to someone who has ADD. My two sons have it too. Everyone has trouble paying attention and concentrating on one thing at a time, because they are easily distracted by what is going on around them. I love you all, but I am the exact opposite. I am a hard worker, a focuser. My mind concentrates on one thing at a time until it processes it and then I can think of the next.

What does this have to do with winning on the dog court? Much. When I take my family to the track with me, they are everywhere. Literally and figuratively. They go to the snack bar or go back to the car for something they forgot. They text their friends, braid their hair (in my daughter’s case), write a shopping list for tomorrow (in my spouse’s case), or read a newspaper they found on a table.

I am the only one who is watching education careers before the show or going over my show to mark the scratches and remind myself of what I did to gamble before I came. Of course my family will choose dogs because of their looks or because they like their names, so what’s the point of them having a disability anyway?

But the fact is that they realize everything, but they do not notice anything that helps them choose dogs. I do not text my friends while I have a disability. I don’t read the newspaper between races. I do nothing but pay attention to the dogs, the condition of the track and my bets.

Every now and then they pick a dog by name or appearance and it shows up and they will be really happy to have “hindered” a race better than me if my dog ​​loses. I don’t say anything, but what they do is not harmful. Focusing on the show, the dogs, the odds, that’s a downside. And that’s enough to pay attention if, like me, you don’t have ADD.

I am not saying that everyone should be industrious or ignore what is going on around them at the dog track. I think, however, that if you are easily distracted, you may want to focus more on the important things on the track. For me, this is the key to choosing the winners. Keep your mind on what you are doing, what the dogs are doing, and what you are doing on the odds board as much as you can from the time you walk in until you leave, and you may walk away with more money than you walked. with.
