layezy  ltd  site  have  a look  on  there  site     1  losing  month  in  4 years  94per cent  last  year

You may be getting told these figures but there appears to be no physical proof, and the industry reports suggest the company has lost a lot of money with bookmakers. The papers have got involved for one reason and one reason only, clearly members have been contacting them telling them they are requesting withdrawals and not getting paid, otherwise anyone making  such vast profits would hardly be asking newspapers to investigate!

You can guarantee the BHA will be having his weatherbys account frozen as we speak, and the Gambling commission will be having his betting accounts frozen too.

What he is offering is actually illegal unless authourised by the gambling commission which a quick check on their list of licensed people shows he is not.

Reminds me of a thing a few years ago, The Winning Express which turned out to be one big ponzi and the bloke behind it killed himself before he had to face justice.

ribero1. This story.

Racing fans have put life savings into betting syndicate... but there are fears they are funding the high-rolling lifestyle of ex-policeman Mike Stanley, who is suspected of using money to spend £2m on 23 horses
Ex-police officer Mike Stanley runs the betting syndicate Layezy Racing club
Members have been drawn in by stories of friends who have trebled their stakes
However, Stanley is suspected of using their money without their knowledge
It is thought he has spent close to £2million on exclusive ownership of 23 horses

One recent purchase, Rookie Trainer, cost £70,000 from the Cheltenham sale in mid December. To which you have to add 6% commission and 20% VAT and probably 5% for the agent that bought it as well.

To keep that many horses in training, you're looking at half a millon quid per annum.

I would imagine he got a deal with John Best, must have at least 10 with him. But most of the purchases around the 100K mark. Suspect outlay a month would be close to £35,000 before weatherbys fes, transport fees and vet fees.

correct

the scheme is utterly absurd and sounds like a standard ponzi.  Once again of course the FCA is posted as missing as so often happens with these unauthorised schemes.

The gambling syndicate came first and then the owners club (supposedly a syndicate but allegedly the horses are all registered just to Mike Stanley ). Looks as though people who thought they were paying into the gambling syndicate may now have been paying for the horses. The gambling syndicate supposedly makes HUGE profits but little evidence of where or how. The people who got in first may have done alright but that is the way with ponzi schemes.

I think i might understand whats going on here ,a deduction as such -  and tbh i dont think  it is a solitary model that only he is adopting nationwide - but i think he might be doing it on such a big scale that its ruffled a few feathers.

I've been following this Racing club for a while and ive had a suspicion that he is shaking up the business model with how a Racing Club's members gets returns and how its assets increase - and if im right the BHA and bookmakers wont like it.

If he is doing what i think he is doing then i see it as an extension of where racing should be heading so more people get into racing , yards can grow , and syndicates are betting on their assets or other betting opportunities  - its just at this moment in time our betting industry isn't quite ready for it as the Tote isn't where it needs to be i.e we need massive pools betting for it to work - bookmakers would most likely lose long term if big owners were to apply this model...especially a club.

Imagine today you starting up a racing club  and its business model was top buy horses and to create a betting syndicate ....with an aim  to bet on horses and to acquire returns for club members , just like a hedge fund or investment portfolio - say for example you as a member pay £3000 per annum - and that annual membership fee is split between a betting fund and buying/keeping horses i.e stock - I think what he might have been doing is instead of the traditional model, where connections and trainers bet on their own stock for their own individual reward ( like what most happens today ) , is that he tried to take that model to another level of betting on behalf of the racing club's members to almost guarantee returns..... and as part of those returns a percentage of those returns goes back into buying horses.

Maybe  some disgruntled members dont quite understand the model or have had a fall out and has decided to go public with the clubs less than traditional model  ...who knows , or maybe the club is under attack by the BHA and bookmakers as they would see this model as not fitting in with how owners of racehorses are supposed to at within their industry. 

If he is doing this then they might shut him down under Schedule 6  - think he could have several difficulties with the interpretation and applying of "syndicates rules" by the BHA - like i say i think he is doing good things if this is what it turns out to be  ..he would be  effectively taking from the bookmaker pouring it back into the industry , at the same time they buying horses within a club and spread the returns to its members and boosting numbers in small yards.


Schedule 6 - Syndicate Code of Conduct
1.1. In accordance with Rule 73E, this Code of Conduct applies to all ownership arrangements registered as a Syndicate where

1.1.1 the arrangement is managed, administered or promoted by a Syndicator who receives payment, in relation to their role, and/or

1.1.2. the method(s) of attracting participation in the arrangement include invitations to the public, whether by way of advertisement or otherwise.

1.2. The Syndicator must ensure that at the time of commencement of the Syndicate and throughout its duration, there is a written contract between the Syndicator and the participants which addresses and identifies, but may not be limited to, the following matters:-

1.2.1. The express acknowledgement from the participant/s that membership of the Syndicate may not necessarily provide a financial return;

1.2.2. The intended duration of the Syndicate, the mechanism for its termination and the methods and conditions (if any) by which participants may leave the Syndicate other than on final termination; underground betting syndicate , good luck !

1.2.3. Whether the horse(s) is wholly owned by the participants or whether the horse is subject to a lease or other arrangement;

1.2.4. The number of horses involved in the Syndicate, the proportionate interest in the Syndicate of each participant and their rights of (or lack of) to sell, lease, transfer or assign their share/s;

1.2.5. The cost of participation for each participant and whether such cost is fixed or susceptible to alteration; - i imagine this betting syndicate isn't recorded

1.2.6. The details and/or means of calculating and paying any remuneration to be received by the Syndicator and any third parties; good luck !

1.2.7. A full financial statement for the Syndicate and the process by which any financial surplus or deficit will be credited or charged to the participants in the Syndicate; Good luck !

1.2.8. The time at which and procedure by which the statement(s) of the Syndicate's costs recovered and expenditure will be presented to the participants. Such statement(s) shall be exclusive or inclusive of VAT as appropriate depending upon the VAT status of the Syndicate;

1.2.9. Whether and in respect of which risks the horse(s) will be insured and whether the participants of the Syndicate are the beneficiaries;

1.2.10. Whether the horse(s) will be initially trained by a named trainer; and

1.2.11. The process by which the Syndicate makes any decisions relating to the management, training, and time and method of sale of the horse(s).

1.3. This Code of Conduct does not purport to dictate the terms of the matters set out at Paragraph 1.2, only that they are matters that are to be agreed at the outset of a Syndicate. Each contract between the Syndicator and the participants in that Syndicate must contain materially identical terms on the matters set out in Paragraph 1.2. Cant see how he can provide this i.e a contract

1.4. Each participant in the Syndicate should be aware that they are bound by the Rules of Racing. Particular attention should be drawn to those Rules [b]prohibiting the sharing of Inside Information (Rule (A)36) and prohibiting the Lay Betting of owned horses (Rule 92).[/b] how could he control members of a betting syndicate - very sticky area of a syndicate this size.

Note:
In all cases it is the responsibility of the participant in the Syndicate on complaint of a failure to comply with this Code of Conduct to provide to the Authority the evidence which the Authority considers necessary to support that allegation.

I think the issue isn't the fact he has the horses, but the money was paid directly to the Weatherby's account and these are accounts used to fund purchases and training fees of horses.

He has sold these people an investment on their money with returns promised. This is a huge breach of the Gambling Commission and FCA unless you are regulated and have a license, he is neither, so what he is doing is illegal anyway.

Had he sold it as a Racing Club where the money is used for running the club, but part of this, each sign up generates a position to receive a return from club info and betting, then he potentially avoids a grey area as he is not selling an investment, however THESE sign ups were not wanting to buy into a syndicate, they were buying into a gambling investment in the belief this guy has made millions gambling and can make money for them as well.

What he has done is very similar to what someone called Graham Bradbury set up under Cherries and later Winning Express.  Both turned out to be scams and it was only discovered when people wanted money back.

If this guy was making x y and z for the clients and paying them what they requested, no way would any of these people gone to the authorities or press. People only whinge when they see the mass of horses and they aren't getting paid.
