Laying 3rd Favourites On Lay System

Laying 3rd Favourites On Lay System UK


The above title made me pause for thought, why would laying the laying 3rd favourites on lay system work? How can you qualify this without the following extra information,

1.    The decimal odds of the 3rd favourite.
2.    The frequency of losing 3rd favourites.
3.    The time you place your lay bet on the 3rd favourite.
This also applies to laying 2nd favourites on lay system and laying 4th favourites on lay system.

My approach is doing my homework in other words doing horse form analysis on the 3rd favourite and laying it if there is justification.


The timing of placing your lay bet on the 3rd fav is important, in the morning or just before a race starts. Take it one step further lay the 3rd favourite in-play while the race is running at lower odds than pre-race off. In other words, before the race starts.


A concrete lay strategy is needed here with and entry and exit position that muse be adhered to ensuring long term profits.
