Key Observations

• The Dog Pound remains profitable over its complete recorded history, with +439.69 units from 2,270 live bets.

• Performance in 2026 has been considerably weaker than in 2025, with a year-to-date loss of 92.64 units.

• October delivered a positive result of +17.70 units, partially recovering September's loss of 50.14 units.

• The most recent completed 300-bet cycles show a substantial deterioration compared with the earliest cycles. Cycle 8 remains incomplete and should not be treated as a final cycle result.

• The longest recorded losing sequence is 79 consecutive bets, highlighting the extreme variance involved.

• BF Bot Manager experienced a VPS-related interruption in late October. Backup checks found no evidence of missing Dog Pound records, although some dates contained no recorded selections.

• The full betting dataset has been updated through October 2026 and remains publicly available for independent analysis.

The Trade Carefully Research Framework

The Dog Pound was developed through a structured programme of live greyhound market research. The Trade Carefully Research Framework documents the methodology, findings, limitations and practical implementation of this evidence-led approach.

The Framework includes the Dog Pound configuration for BF Bot Manager, supporting research and historical performance data.

Past performance does not guarantee future profitability. Automated betting involves substantial financial risk, including prolonged losing sequences and drawdowns.
