My own trading/betting activity has a marked predominance for laying (over backing). There are a few reasons, I think that developed for me over time, but I think partly it is just a preference rather than being more profitable than my backing trading/betting.
Does anyone else have marked difference in amount of backing and laying trades they use?
Backing or laying predominance
For pre-off racing I open with a lay more times than with backs, if I had to put a number on it I'd say 70/30
In Tennis I almost exclusively lay first
Greyhounds and football are probably around 50/50
So overall I'm definitely well weighted to the lay side

For the horses, do you have a view why you favour laying over backing?

On this, I've been thinking I find it easier to search for reasoning to lay rather than back on entry points. That may come from my historical experiences laying horses for fundamentals.
But I presume you may have alternative reasons.
