I went a few weeks ago. There's a form guide to read and get your head round which I must not have done as I didn't win any money all night!
Bit different to horse racing too in that a dog at the back of the pack can quite easily go past the rest of them in the space of half a lap then pass the leader and win

It was about every 10 minutes in Sheff. I was only betting a pound or 2 each time so wasn't too expensive. Massive burger and a basket of chips was about £2.50 too. Beer was cheap. Was epic. Yorkshire FTW.
I've no interest in horses, i'd only go on a corporate freebie, but i'd go to the dogs again.

Apparently that's a bad sign, something to do with feeding the dog at the wrong time. The bloke who told me was probably just a stupid drunkthough.
