Hi Chris, I see you are giving out free lay service tips but can you also explain why you are laying these horses? Many thanks.

Answer: Hey there,

I'm Chris, and I'm the author of the Daily Lay tips service. I'm glad you're interested in using my tips, and I'm happy to explain why I'm laying these horses.

First, let's talk about what it means to lay a horse. When you lay a horse, you're essentially betting that it will lose. This is the opposite of betting on a horse to win, which is called backing a horse.

There are a few reasons why I might lay a horse. First, I might think that the horse is overpriced. This means that the odds of the horse winning are higher than they should be. For example, if a horse is 2-1 to win, but I think it should only be 3-1, I might lay it.

Second, I might think that the horse is not in good form. This could be because the horse has been injured, or because it has not been running well recently. For example, if a horse has not won in its last three races, I might be more likely to lay it.

Third, I might think that the horse is not suited to the track or the distance. For example, if a horse has only ever won over short distances, I might be more likely to lay it in a long race.

Finally, I might think that the horse is not the best horse in the race. This could be because the horse is up against more experienced horses, or because the horse is not as well-trained as the other horses.

Of course, there is no guarantee that any of these horses will lose. Betting on horse racing is always a risk, but I believe that my tips can help you to reduce the risk and increase your chances of winning.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks,
Chris

I always lay to lose and bet the same horse to place with over 8 Runners. Over the longer term, it pays off.

Strategy
by: Anonymous

So you don't lay McCoy (retired 2015) or Ruby Walsh (retired 2019) over the jumps. And you avoid laying Hughes (retired 2014) on the flat. Sound.

Sorry guys - needed to update this - now done - but goes to show, the Daily Lay has some history!

Odds strategy
by: Paul

Hi there, being new to this game, I'm still trying to develop my strategy.

I'm tentative to lay anything over 3.0, the theory being that based on the general average of 35% winning favourites, if I were to win 2 lays for every loss, I would be in profit.

Based on £10 lays, a 2.5 odds loss would lose £15 liability, but 2 £10 stakes would provide a £5 profit regardless.

Naturally, any loss under 2.0 would be covered by 1 £10 stake win. This is of course relying on meeting the general average of favourites wins/losses.
Do you think this potential strategy has any credibility or do I need a rethink.

The obvious drawback to this strategy would be less choice.

Any advice, as always, very much appreciated.

Kind regards

Paul

Answer: Setting a price limit is a good idea with these lay tips - 2.0 decimal odds would be a good start

Sorry I have not replied sooner guys but I have been very busy.

My strategy comments should be viewed mainly as a general guide. If low odds warrant a bet then go for it.

To place lay bets on more than one selection e.g. today we have

Mighty River 18:30 - Chelmsford
Kingsley Pride 18:30 - Chelmsford

Betfair offers a built in calculator - select both horses then click liability button - click liabilty and a max liabilty box pops up - enter 100 and click ok - the stakes required to make a profit are then filled in for you.

Winners
by: Eddie

Hi, yes I agree with earlier poster that today's first choice was on a 3 timer but the odds were so low it was worth a risk. Ok it won but I was able to recoup the small outlay I lost on the next winner.
keep up those great selections, thank you.
