Quick tip for an above-average payout in the long term: bet on the 2-1 dog every time. If you win two in a row bet on one of the others at random, although make the 5-1 dog a more frequent bet than the others. When one of these dogs wins, irrespective of whether you bet on it, switch back to the 2-1 dog.

Betting on the same dog all the time returns around 50% of your bets, whereas this scheme returns more than your stake in most cases. You'll get almost all of the 2-1 wins as well as a few of the higher prizes. Personally, I never touch the 99-1 dog because it comes in so rarely that it isn't worth it, so feel free to leave it out of the above sequence.
