I am a regular punter too, and like yourself I place pocket money bets with no expectation of a return. I've had a few decent amounts when a Yankee has come up, rare enough to make it all the sweeter when it does.
I knew a few people who owned greyhounds back in the seventies and the sport was as bent as a nine bob note with an agreed winner in a lot of races, the other dogs being over fed to make them uncompetitive. I expect they may have cleaned up their act by now, though.
