How to Lay Horses

Posted In Horse Racing Betting Guides, By Mike

In a previous post I discussed just exactly ‘What Lay Betting Is‘, as a follow-up to that post I have decided to show just how easy it is to perform a lay bet. To illustrate this I have take a couple of screenshots just to show how quick you can make a lay bet on betfair and hopefully this will make it clear to you that lay betting isn’t complicated, it is just as simple to do as backing.

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.

April 19th Free Picks – Giants, Liverpool and Pontefract

Posted In Updates, By Mike
Right,
 
Crazy day of football yesterday Wigan beating Arsenal and everything. Then the Tampa @ Red Sox game came right down to the wire, obviously not in terms of winning but in terms of the Unders bet. We needed less than 8.5 and going into the bottom of the ninth it was 7-0 Tampa. Red Sox hit a Sac Fly to pull one back but it was all over from there and my baseball action is back in profit.
 
Anyway today I will be doing some action on the Football, Baseball and Horse Racing so it should be an enjoyable day!
 
Baseball
 
Giants @ Padres – Back Over 7 Runs @ ~2.05  
 
Horse Racing
 
16:10 Pontefract – Lay Bated Breath @ 3.2 on Betfair
 
Football
 
Liverpool vs West Ham – Lay Liverpool for 100 @ 1.46 on Betfair
 
*Reasoning behind this is Liverpool are without Torres and the Champions League spot seems out of reach for them, while West Ham are fighting to avoid relegation so this will be a good scrap.
 
To check out the results of our picks then visit the page below:

Remember that we try not to lay any horses above 4 unless otherwise stated and our standard lay bet is £100 unless otherwise stated again. Also we try to never back below 1.5 and our standard back bet is £50 unless, again, otherwise stated.
