2 weeks ago i gave betdaq £1000 for a bank and using inform ratings and taking the racing post tissue i look for horses at 8/1 in the tissue,then i look at inform to find losers at moment my bank is showing just over £49 a day profit
my bank is at this moment £1637
but i dont bet above 10 decimal odds ie 9/1 on exchange odds is my highest i will the put £2 on that price to make a profit of £1.90
i have a sliding scale for odds and stakes
SILVER ACCORD @ moment is a no bet @14.5 if it comes down to 10 then its a bet
BANK STAIR @ 7 IS A £2 BET my risk would be £12
i wait untill 5 min before the off to place my bets
i cant put up every bet im just giving you an eg
i took my winnings this morning and im starting a new bank so i will be ablew to let you know how each day goes win or lose
Good luck Rhur,have you ever tried to get your prices matched in running if you don't get a price before the off.Another thing you could look at is if the favourite in sprint races(5f,6f and 7f) is a front runner than you would expect it's price to drop as it take the lead which could give you a better return also.
rhur
i have always wanted to get into laying but have not got a good angle as yet or the bottle to be honest.
but you seem to have hit on a good system if it is a system.
best of luck for your future lays
regards blue 64
You appear to enjoy laying but why dont you just lay the short price favs 2/1 and under that inform rating often tell you cant win ?
I lay horses infrequently as i find them when trying to find winners in races and if i find an odds on fav very unlikely to win i invest 80% of my stake on the win and 20% on the place which very often will be 1/8 or larger which is a nice bonus when they dont even place.
Just seems risky laying around 8/1 as the swings can quickly wipe out your bank. I found after i had a period looking for lays it distracted me from finding winners which i find more profitable.
Good luck though if its working for you
Rhur I think if most people are honest on here they don't expect anyone to be making things up so if you say you won £127 I certainly beleive you and I understande what your saying about showing live prices etc. If you worry too much about showing us your bets you may miss a bet so if you have a system that works then well done mate.
If you want to give any clues to what criteria you use then even better
i suppose however you pick a bet win, place,, lose it must be a system
i do have a sliding scale on prices and stakes my lowest stake is £2 AND THATS ON PRICES FROM 6-10 thats decimal points and at moment my biggest stake is £25 for prices at 1.80 so my risk for £25 lay is £20 at moment the bets work like this £2-£6-£11-14-25 thats todays starting bets
but as my bank increases so do the stakes
I will leave the winnings in the bank and take the winnings out each month, reason being when your stakes get higher you might have a problem getting the stake covered
Im hoping to make a £1000 a month from a £1000 bank
As you all know it could go all wrong but at moment im enjoying the challenge
Im a fully paid up member of Racing Post and when im in England i can watch the videos of all races but at moment i spend half of year in Turkey and i cant get to see the races or videos on my computer
So i use Inform Speed ratings and also there stats are spot on
So there is a clue on how i pick losers Speed Ratings + Stats + live shows
