How it's used
This term specifically refers to the act of studying racing forms or betting guides for greyhound racing. It carries a slightly dismissive or cynical tone, often implying that the person is wasting their time or effort on a losing gamble. While greyhound racing is no longer active in Hong Kong, the phrase persists in local slang to describe someone obsessively studying any kind of speculative betting information.
