Thanks to Jacob for alerting us to Brighton and Hove stadium no longer holding races on Sundays - see Hove racing calendar.

We will run some trial predictions for our courses on Sundays and add the best to the service.

Results Service Restored

14/12/2017

Pleased to say we have resolved the issue with past results. We now have the results for October and November available on Full Results.

We have all our previous results since 2015 but need to process these into the new format to be displayed on the site. Please contact us if you need any specific results.

Results Service Suspended

25/10/2017

We have identified an issue with our results service. Results for Sheffied were incorrectly being attributed to other courses. We are working hard to remedy the underlying fault and repair our historical data.

The tips and previous day results are unaffected. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

We have made good progress with our system this year. At our featured veneus we have delivered strike rates of 24% at Nottingham and Newcastle, and 22% at Hove. We will continue to improve our predictions and are working on adding more courses to our system.

Fix for missing racing tips results

01/07/2016

Yesterday we implemented a fix on the results page. There was an issue with races that included a substitution or for when only the first 3 places were known at the time the site was updated.
These results are now displayed as follows

June Update + Greyhound Derby Semi-finals

20/06/2015

Latest updates have improved the results pages for mobile users. As requested we have added a chart of the monthly result data along with the graph.

We have reintroduced tips for Wimbledon to cover the Greyhound Derby (semi-finals tonight). We do have not past history for predictions at Wimbledon so we are really pleased to see it pick the two favourites for their heats. Remember, these tips do not include the betting so these predictions are entirely based on form.

If tips at Wimbledon prove accurate we will leave them running. Swindon, however, has dropped off the list - we can never say why but the system sometimes just stops working for some courses.

Latest Update Goes Live Tomorrow

03/04/2015

From tomorrow our latest improvement to the system will be introduced. In testing so far this year 29% at Nottingham, 28% Sheffield, 26% Newcastle and Brighton & Hove.
We have replaced the Newcastle tips with a more precise model following feedback it was too vague to be of use.

Preditions for Hove

29/03/2015

We have reintroduced predictions for races at Brighton and Hove from today. We have also added an extra chart to the statistics page - results for the past month. The chart has a black line for random selection 16.6% - 1/6. The chart only shows results where they was a clear favourite predicted. The tips for Newcastle use a Bayes classifier which predicts general rather than absolute positions.

Tips Page Improved

08/03/2015

We have implemented an improvement to the tips page ready for tomorrow's predictions. Only tips for the required venue are now loaded avoiding lots of scrolling for mobile users.

New Site Goes Live!

01/03/2015

Our redesigned site is finally ready to go live. This new version will better handle different devices and provides a cleaner less clutered look and feel.

A Bit About Bayes

28/02/2015

One of the first methods we experimented with for GreyhoundPredictions was a Naive Bayes classifier. Bayes theorem is used to separate the dogs according to the characteristics of their previous results. It makes the assumption that there is no relationship between any of these characteristics. This may sound counter intuitive but can deliver some really useful results.

We found that for UK greyhound racing Naive Bayes Classifier can make a good first cut of the days races and to filter out outlier results from other machine learning techniques.

We really liked this simple explanation of Bayes Theorem using Lego.

The Theory That Would Not Die is a good read on Bayes - it makes some pretty wild claims but covers the history of the theory well.
