Laying the horse if not Favourite
Posted: Sat May 29, 2010 11:57 am
Is it possible to pick a horse before a race then only place a lay bet on this horse if it is NOT the favourite just before the off?
e.g
Yesterday 2.00 Brighton
the racing post f/c fav was Ask Jenny so I wanted to lay Ask Jenny if it wasn't the favourite just before the off at odds of between 2.00 & 7.00.
If it was the favourite then it would be a no bet
If it was outside those odds it would be a no bet
Ask Jenny ended up as 4th Favourite @11/2 (favourite was Avrilo@3/1) and lost (so I would have won)
hopefully that explains it.
