Laying the leader.

this definitely don't work imo

I have a few times , while bored, and with low stakes, spent a few hours with laying in running stategies.

There was one race where 4 horses were matched below 1.35 , and many more with Odds On in running leaders caught

Every time though the profits were cancelled out by the races where something takes it up 2 out , going well, and wins comfortably .

The In Running Markets do seem remarkably accurate when you follow them for the whole day , more so than someone would expect if they just glanced at the threads on the Horse Forum!

Why ?

There are too many people competing to back the winner, strong in running leaders are consistently backed far too short.

I have bots that do this blind (as in they have no idea what's happening in the events). It's not quite as simple as just laying the shortest selection- they look for a number of criteria, but basicly run-away leaders in any sport are generally value to lay. When events swing the other way a little bit people panic and you can often green up with a another value bet in the other direction.

If there are more than 2 outcomes to the event then the best option for greening up is often laying another outcome to complete what can be a massive book with a colossal payout on un-layed outcomes. Either that or just let your bets run, sh1t happens all the time.

In sports like football where things move relatively slowly there's no reason why a human shouldn't be able to do this at least as effectively as a bot if he's a calm and sensible sort.

Best of all- you never risk much money like this, it would have to be one of the best ways of working with a small bank as your exposure is always small, bets are plentiful your wins are very frequent.

I get the impression that some people think they're stealing money when they back at short prices, but they should ask themselves why people are willing to lay these bets, believe me, it's not because they're stupid.

Or people who backed at higher odds and are now wanting to get out.

I try to sit back from laying straight after a goal as there is mad rush to lay off, after few mins price is much better

One of the key principles of in running betting is that you should try to bet against painc, greed and fear. Anywhere that people are rushing to do anything the smart money is calmly doing the opposite.

For me IR betting isn't about the sport, it's about the people who are watching the sport.

Sometimes rushing to lay off is the right thing to do.






Sometimes it is, sometimes it is not. It just comes back to value again, as it does every time.

This bloke aye robot is no fool, imo.

Alex, that's two people you have declared your liking for.

In cycling, draughting equates to approx 30% energy savings so any horse (especially on a windy day) leading for the first circuit must be a good lay.....if the IR price drops 30% below the SP price (which it usually does) then in the long term you should make a tidy profit......easy peasy.

who had a long thread entitled ''lay the leader'' was it the abomnible foot soldiers?
