    Hi Matron, I’m late to this thread, would you care to briefly explain what your system is? It looks like you’re back all the favourites?

    Hi Kaiser.

    I’m just looking at it after reading your post and it looks very interesting. Adrian’s site is really good, thanks for mentioning it.

    I didn’t have any bets today myself after some losses yesterday on some horses I’d backed, also the football let me down. I also need to evaluate what I’m doing for both backing and laying!

    Venture; I get it, you’re hedging some of your bets. It’s late and it’s just occuring to me now that this is what you’re doing.

    When you’re doing this, do you do it all on Betfair, or do you do it across a number of sites? You would want your laying odds to be lower than you’re backing odds though, correct?

    Thanks for the replies Kaise and Venture to Cognac.

    I had never heard of Adrian Massey’s site before but glad I found it. Lots of good information on there that a lot of sites would charge you a premium for. Thanks for that!

    Kaiser, are you not into laying horses so much these days? You are entirely correct when you say the losses do mount up very, very quickly.

    Venture to Cognac, do you lay some of the hoses you back as kind of a system to cover any losses which may occur?

    Hi Nathan,

    Thanks for your comments.

    I don’t bet big – maximum of £10. My bank is £100. Most of my bets are £2 – £5. I try to keep it small.

    I had thought about laying maybe the 2nd or 3rd favourite in a race, just before the start of the race. I need to look into this more.

    Maybe even keeping an eye on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd favourites during the race and laying in-play?

    Kind of thinking out loud here, but I would love to get some input on my thoughts from the more experienced on this forum.

    Thanks again Nathan!

    Hi Venture,

    I’m new here, but I have been following your thread.

    Thanks for all your good picks.

    I haven’t got into laying horses yet, I find Betfair quite a learning curve, but I do following your backings.
