horse racing kempton – YouTube – Jockey Falls Off Horse Racing UK


For those that are unaware laying a horse is effectively saying that the horse will not win, so if I lay a horse in the 2:15 at Kempton I am hoping that the horse will come anywhere in that race other than first. Now that you know this let’s get down to using this to our advantage.

Normally when people first hear about laying horses they think “Well why not just lay the heavy outsiders; they have no chance of winning”. Where you will probably get a nice and high strike rate from doing this once one of those outsiders comes in it is going to absolutely blow your bankroll.

Here is where laying the favourites comes in, did you know that in a standard race of between 6-9 horses the favourite will only win approximately thirty three percent (33%) of the time? That’s right 67% of the time another horse will end up winning instead of the favourite.

Now you can see why laying the favourite could really make your bankroll start to swell, the only problem you have now is in identifying which horses are likely to trip up and which horses are likely to go all the way. There are a number of different ways to tell if a favourite is likely to take home the prize but the most common one I have found is public hype.

What happens with public hype is a couple of people place big bets on a horse which leads everyone to run in and back it causing the odds to fall heavily from 6/1 to 2/1F. Now we can swoop in and lay them off at 2/1 and when the horse doesn’t win because it should have only been a 6/1 shot we clean up all the way to the bank!

Why not try a service that will give you the favourites to lay and all you have to do is follow their picks and make the money? Just check out their results so far: Lay the Best
