Newmarket 2:15 - Invisible Man, laid @3.0
Thirsk 5:00 - Captain Dunne, laid @2.88
Final selection falls just outside criteria but after seeing
such a short price about it now becomes a bet.
Newbury 4:15 - Plume, laid @2.42

shanelee1966 it is very hard, but it's the way to go, less liability when u do get a winner and you'll learn how to spot em a mile off in time, good luck 
I agree entirely, laid 3 winners on the bounce last month, still came back into profit. Just hits the old confidence.
Overall been a good year.
Overall been a good year.
I use ratings from a friend, then basic form study, finally i then check ratings that are available to all in a newspaper. I look for races where i feel there are 3/4 horses capable and or have a good chance against what is usually a clear fav, or was at time of laying.
So far it`s stood me in good stead, just need to introduce
discipline and proper record keeping. Im happy to make £100 - £150 per week to supplement my wages.

Also wouldn`t mind a laying comp or some form of sharing lays from people who are confident they can make small but consistant profits.

Not a good start to my betting week, not much damage done at price. Have doubled lay stake on Mabuya[:(]
Kav, i see what you mean but on my system i had 3/4 down capable of beating it. I dont want to repeat doubling stakes again this month to protect profit.
Shanelee .. your words I would like a laying comp or some form of sharing lays from people who are confident they can make a small profit .. How about Shanelee v Luckboy V zipper
now that would be fun .. by the way zip goes for 10 lays per day .. but if you guys are happy with one lay per day count me in .

Hey zip,im happy to select 3/4 per day with whatever format you would like. As on earlier posts i don`t claim to make big profits, i always take a long term view.My aim is to make £100/£150 per week, say 5-7 points profit.
Good luck with yours, ive not checked results yet.
