Anyone think anything of this, like betting on ‘losing’ horses – I’m new to betting, so if you back losing horses, isn’t that easy, or are you meant to bet a selection etc., like an accumulator to get anywhere? What does anyone think of Ian Burrows’ service, if you know of it? Thanks everyone![/b:1sp2oeu5][/i:1sp2oeu5][/color:1sp2oeu5]

One way of making your betting pay is to lay one horse only in each race but it takes a lot of your time up. Start with say 2000 pounds and never lay a horse for more than 20% of your pot. That way you will get past the bad periods without losing everything. If you lay 3 or 4 horses on the trot at average odds of say 16/1 and they all win that takes some doing…you would have to be the unluckiest person on the planet.
To do something like this you have to be prpeared to lay 12/1 (Industry) shots at 20/1 as Betfair prices tend to be much longer and probably more realistic on horses with apparently no chance.
I did this for a while and it does pay but you have to be there or have a very healthy account to back up your bets. I grabbed a section of bets off an old spreadsheet and on the first day my total liability would have been 4,032 quid had they all won but on day 2 it would have beeen over 13,000 quid. So you would need that amount in your account if you were puting the bets on and going to work for example
After 3 days there’s about a grand profit which is the equivilant of puting 2k on one horse at 1/2 which most punters would be happier to do and get it over with.
The big drawback is time if you want it to make it really worth your while. On the example below there are over 70 bets in 3 days and an average win bet of something like 55 quid.
BUT! When you lay one that wins and you will, you need about 10 to lose to get that money back. You could find yourself working for 2 days sometimes for 10 quid but unless you are very dumb, very unlucky or both you should make a good profit at the end of the day, the odds are very much in your favour, if you have good knowledge of racing. Doesn’t take a genius to work out when some trainer’s horses aren’t busy.
As far as IB Service or paying for any other service or system forget it. Guys on here know as much and more as they do and charge nothing to help you.
If you visit lays and plays section there are many different ways of betting explained that you can try until you find one that fits your needs.
What’s most importatnt is you don’t go in head down.
My advice if you want to lay horses like the example below is do not bet for at least 2 weeks. Make up a spread sheet and run a trial first. If you find you have a knack for it then do it for real.
Don’t try laying horses that look like they will lose because you think somehing else looks a sure fire winner. You would be just as well backing to win if you find yourself thinking like that….. back the ones you think couldn’t win if everything else stopped dead or you will lose your wad in no time………betting small and often at long odds on the biggest monkey you can find is the name of the game…Occasionally you might have 15 quid on 2 33/1 shots because there’s only 5 or 6 runners and 4 all look like they could win…….Better winning lots of 15 quids than trying to win 115 quid in one go. Keep the odds in your favour and it will work get greedy or take too many chances and you will lose.

and a nice win ratio.
It can be very disheartening
when a loser comes along
so I would put a max up of 15%
and for a newcomer possibly 10%
of said bank.Hope you selected a
representative sample
there boy, and officer
Dibble is impressed- Total Posts 17716
Thank you kind Sir. That sample is a little bit less than what I would average.
You’re right about the liability although I did it after I got x amount in front but a newcomer should start lower.
It is mega important you keep it in check and it has to be realistic.
If your pot grows to 20,000 quid then you are approaching the danger zone.
You must be in a position to get matched. There are times when the rag you want to lay is say 5.0 and you might get 500 quid matched but all bets should have the same liability. In other words can you get 200 quid matched at 11 or 100 quid at 20 in the next race?
I would recommend every 7 days you work out your average stakes and average odds.
What can happen very easily as your pot grows, your liability per race grows with it and you will be tempted to start taking chances you didn’t take in the early days just to get on. You will start losing and you will find the 8.5 average odds you were laying before are now 6.8 or something.
The thought of having only 40 quid on at 33/1 no longer appeals to you despite the fact all those 20 quids you had on at 33/1 played a big part of what got you up there in the first place.
Just keep reducing that liability as the most important thing is you can get matched right across the board.
It’s an easy way to make betting pay but very tiring and time consuming. As Gamble says what a sickener when that 50/1 shot romps home and you just lost 2k but that’s no different than laying one at 2 and losing 2k.
Your liabilty is your liability just forget it and remember the odds are stacked in your favour or you wouldn’t have a 2k liability in the first place.
Golden rulStick to finding those rags it doesn’t matter if they are 50/1 if your pot has grown and you only earned 30 quid…….it was for old rope.
I had a great run doing this, took the money and ran. I found it taking up too much of my time and at my age sitting at a computer for 4 hours solid racking my brain knackers me.
I am now doing my Mark II version and reduced my time by 75-80% but I’m keeping that one to myself for now.
