So here is a list of Horse Laying Services that we recommend:

JustLays – Formerly known as Martin’s Better Betting this is one of the services I have been a member of the longest. In the past year and a half I have made a considerable amount of money laying off his selections for £100 a lay. The owner is a very honest guy and the results you can see on the site (click here to see up to date results) are always accurate. To find out more and to check out their recent results click here.

TopBettingGuides – This is our own picks service which provides regular lay tips. Now I do not claim to be as profitable as the JustLays service but my service is free and my subscribers are grateful for this. To sign up for my service all you need to do is pop your email in the box below, confirm your email and you will receive my tips straight to your email inbox!

Hopefully the screenshot below should look familiar to you:

This is a standard race screenshot that you should be familiar with if you have done backing before. However we are here to lay so in this example we will be laying Prince Erik. This means that we do not want Prince Erik to win in this race. To lay Prince Erik we need to click the highlighted portion of the screen.

Now all we need to do is input how much we would like to lay off Prince Erik for, in this example I have decided to lay him for £100. Laying him off meant that my total liability for this bet is £295, meaning if Prince Erik were to win the race I would be out £295 and if he lost I would win the £100 stake.

Now all that I need to do to finalise my bet is click ‘Place Bets’ at the bottom of the screen and my bet is done.

Lay betting, in the scheme of things, is a relatively new form of betting for the common punter. With the invention of the betting exchanges in 2000 normal punters are now able to act as the bookmakers do and lay off action.

The betting exchanges make their profit by taking a small percentage of the winner’s return, normally somewhere between 0.5% and 5% depending on how much you generally bet. Because of this the betting exchanges never lose because every bet will have a winner and they will take their cut from this winner so their only incentive is to get people to keep betting!

In a horse race if you think a horse will not win the race you can choose to lay that horse instead. You may have heard a rumor that the horse is just there for a run out and will therefore not contend for victory. With this information in hand you can go on betfair and lay that horse.

Now if the horse that you have chose to lay loses the race you will win the amount you have staked.

However if the horse does in fact win then you will find yourself looking at the downside of lay betting, because when a horse that you have decided to lay in fact wins the race then you will lose whatever the stake is multiplied by the odds (exactly the opposite to how much you would have won if you backed the horse at the same odds!).

Let’s see an example; the horse you think will not win is running out at 2/1 or 3 in decimal odds. You decide to lay it off for £100. If the horse loses you will have won £100, however if the horse wins you will be out of pocket by £200.

If this is still confusing to you just think about the guy who is backing the horse at 2/1 (the guy who’s action you are taking). He will have backed the horse for £100, if the horse wins he will receive his stake back (the £100) plus a profit of £200 because of the odds.

So that is the basics of Laying Horses you may wonder why you would want to lay horses and that is because it is profitable, simple as! It is easier to consistently find horses that will not win a race than it is to find horses to win the race, even with the larger strike rate required to profit. Remember also that we give away free horse tips to our subscribers. So if you would like to receive free horse racing tips straight in your inbox just pop your email into the box below:

Betting Underground is a complete step-by-step betting guide that starts from square one and includes strategies and systems not only for horse racing, but also virtually for all other sports – Baseball, Basketball, US/UK Soccer, US Football, Tennis, Cricket, etc.. Betting Underground is suitable for anyone who wants to make quick money on Betfair or on other bookies whether they are novice or seasoned punters.

I have just bought the system in question myself this morning and here are my thoughts on it:

For starters the number of exit pop-ups on that site was totally annoying and gave me the initial impressions of stay away scam, but I realise this is a viable marketing technique and I am here to do a review so I am continued on and bought anyway.

When I got to the thank you page I was pretty impressed to find that I had not only the main guide but then individual guides for each sport and 4 bonus guides to choose from. However what I later learned was that all of the individual sports guide were take directly from the main guide and only made into a seperate guide for ease of access I would expect.

The systems themselves are extremely basic and a lot of the time just well known and proven to not work systems (Martingale anyone?). I think the line that summed up why I will not be recommending this system to anyone is this:

Thus you bet the winnings from the previous game on the next game as well as in the Let it ride strategy.
If you are going to be successful 15 times in a row, you have the winnings paid out and start over.

Ah yes the let it ride strategy, a well known and profitable strategy indeed (sarcasm). Seriously though I can never recommend a guide that recommends the use of the ‘let it ride’ strategy, more over for 15 times before taking the winnings.

The system that I have hinted at above is basically a complex way of laying off 0-1 in football (UK) matches. Which is quite funny as the system makes you place three bets on three different outcomes with the only outcome missing being the 0-1 away win. The example they have given results in a $9 win from $100 if it is not 0-1, where they then tell you to let the winnings ride for 15 wins.

I would like to say that foolish systems like this were uncommon in this series of systems guide but I cannot there is a system that says if the away team have a player sent off by the 75 minute mark back that there will be another goal. Where are the past results to show that this isn’t anything more than a guess? Surely the odds will change after a red card to reflect that there might be another goal so we will not be able to get value in the long run.

Let’s move on from football, let’s check out what it says about baseball. According to this guide there are only two ways of betting on baseball, The Money Line and the Over/Under. This is news to me, all of these years I have been betting on the Run Line (+/- 1.5 runs remember that one?)

Again with the baseball system the rules are merely guesses that probably influence a game and I can guarantee are already reflected in the odds. Take for example this gem:

If you hit upon powerful offences that have been scoring consistently against a strong ERA pitcher, it is best to bet on the offences team. Betting on the team totals is advisable as the offences will score high runs for their team.

So if a team has been scoring lots of runs we should bet on them to score lots of runs? What a ridiculous statement, this statement would be the greatest betting strategy ever if we assume bookies are idiots and do not take past form into account when setting their lines and making their odds. Obviously a team that has been hitting good pitchers for multiple runs are going to have shorter odds on any overs bet than a normal side. Thus negating any gap in the market and resulting in losses in the long run. Also I have still failed to see any proof that any of these systems work.

Right well I think I may have made my point about this system but as I don’t get to do this an awful lot let’s take a look at the cricket system. To be honest I was quite impressed that there was a cricket system as it is not the most popular sport going but people still do like to bet on it.

Ah that is unlucky, the two pages that they have on cricket are not infact systems they just tell you what the different types of bets are.

So I think you know where I am going with this but I am going to have to put this in my failed category. This system in its entirety does not expose any gaps in the market to make long run profits which is what a system is supposed to do. Instead it goes into great detail on the  types of bets you can make and then proposes a system citing the only proof as one example, if that, where it was profitable for them.

I would possibly have said it was a good read for the professional gambler as they could get a few decent ideas from reading over these people’s theories but I can’t possibly endorse paying £27 for a system that is going to tell you to let it ride.

Also a small thing that annoyed me, the entire site is advertised in £’s leading you to believe that this guide is aimed at UK persons but then all through the book it uses American betting terms (parlays, soccer etc.). As a dual citizen of both countries I had no problem understanding but a normal UK person would have some troubles trying to decipher what all of these terms meant when for all intents and purposes it looks targetted to him.

So after so many people kept emailing me asking me what I thought of the Bookies Secret I thought it was probably about time I bought myself a copy and to be honest I wasn’t thrilled about the quality of the guide and the level of sales gimmicks I was subject to. After purchase I had to go through 2 pages of sales page trying to sell me onto another system and a picking service before I could download the guide itself however this is just good salesmanship on the owners behalf as if I was in the market for a new picking service I probably would have been hooked so I can’t blame him for trying.

When I first opened the guide I was surprised at how short it was. It is only 9 pages long including the cover page and disclaimer page. However I am not one to hold a grudge against these things if the system itself works which I cannot see why it shouldn’t do. It uses a clever technique of determining the horse that the bookies believe is going to win and advises you bet on that.

Also along with the guide you receive 2 bonus guides, the first of which is the usual bonus guide crap filled with random nonsense but the second guide was something new that I hadn’t seen before (which is saying something), it was a system designed around the specific biases of race courses themselves, something that I have never looked into before but will definitely be investigating further. So that warmed me up to the system a bit more.

While I think the majority of people who buy this system will view the price tag of £27 as a bit expensive considering it is only 9 pages I think if you view it as a knowledge builder instead of a copy n profit system then you will be able to appreciate the price tag a bit more.

As always with betting systems I will put this into the neutral pile as I think systems cannot guarantee long term profits. However if you do wish to buy this system I have been able to set it up that once you purchase you will receive a free copy of my not available elsewhere guide ‘Maximise Profits from Betting Systems’.

This guide will hopefully help you take this system and make it your own so even if it starts to become unprofitable in the future you are able to adapt and keep its profitability going for years to come.

In order to receive this guide you must buy through the link below which will ensure that you receive the guide once you complete your purchase of this system:

The review today is coming from the Lay The Best system. The current trend in betting systems seems to be laying tips and this service fits squarely into that bill. However unlike the other systems that I have reviewed already this system does lots of sports not just racing, making it the perfect service for the all-round sports bettor.

Sports that you will be laying off on include Football, Tennis and Horse Racing to name the main ones. Also every now and again you will be getting lays for American Sports like the NFL, NHL, NBA and MLB.

Lay the Best sends out two emails per day outlining the tips for the day, these tips are normally sent at midday and 7pm but may be sent out earlier if there are earlier events. In the time I have been with them I have not known them to send out emails past this time.

Now for the clincher, the results of my test of this system:

Number of Lays: 156
Number of Successful Lays: 106
Successful lay %: ~68%
Profit: £3276.43

That’s through the last 2 and a half months laying to make £100 profit every success. The results of my system are slightly different to their official results but not so much that should cause any problem, I put it all down to the odds changing as the event draws nearer

So as you can probably tell this system is going right into my approved section.

All of their picks are proofed so you can be sure that the results shown on their site are the actual results the members have received. And those of you looking for results here they are:

For More Up To Date Results Check Out The Results Page On Their Site

Right got my hands on a copy, I can sum the whole thing up by saying meh. Waste of my time and a waste of money if you were to buy it. The writing itself was very basic in information about some crap that had nothing to do with the actualy system. The actual system is a combination of rules about number of runners, trainer win percentage etc. the usual stuff.

No proof that the system actually works and no reason why it would in the short or long runs. Based on this and the general bs surrounding this product I have to stick it in the Failed systems.

The system itself is very simple to operate and selections can be made in a mere 5-10 minutes the night before any race. The system itself has 8 rules of which my initial impression was that they would definitely not hold up as they made little to no practical sense!

But I decided to test the system over 3 weeks laying the selections found using a 1% of £5000, I used a bankroll of £5000 knowing that the review would finish before major damage could be done to the bankroll or so I thought

2 weeks into the system and 44 selections resulted in 11 losses and over £7000 in the tank.

As with pretty much all laying systems the hit rate was pretty good (75%) but then when the selection did end up winning it hit the bank hard, especially because the horses that got selected were quite large in odds.

Now when I look back over the sales page I really do believe what I read in the DaVinci Code more than what the sales page tells me.

I am putting this into my failed systems section and recommend you check out other systems!

The system itself involves backing 3 horses in qualifying races that meet certain criteria to become selections.

There are no price restrictions or grey areas in this system, meaning everyone following the system will find the same picks when looking through the selections. All selections are supposed to be backed at level stakes. All bets can be made at any time so it is good for anyone working during the days.

The system is really simple to operate as it just requires you to follow fool-proof instructions outlining which bets you should make and why.

During the past week that I used this system there were 18 qualifying races of those there were 8 winners. Their Betfair SP odds were as followed:

18.05, 17.22, 9.04, 6.54, 5.34, 4.79, 4.56, 4.09

In the end overall profit was £156.30 not including betfair commission rate for winning bets.

This system is going into my approved section as I truly believe it will work both in the short and long run without fail and is one of the only genuine systems out there!
