Just a little bot i made to learn the basics. :geek:
basically it lays some selections with conditions and displays an alert in the watchlist on selections that get Lay'd. :lol:

Screenshots attached.

Have fun and don't expect to make any profit.
always use at your own risk.

We have laid, layed and now lay'd.
You'd think that seeing as we only ever do 1 of 2 things we'd have the teminology nailed :)

Or maybe the apostrophy in lay'd represents a missing e ?

I thought the exact same thing :lol: Multiple times, I have had to rewrite a sentence and change the structure of it entirely to avoid having to use the word. Can we all agree on this once and for all? From the point forwards, is it: laid, layed or lay'd?

Definitely laid.

‘Layed’ is a more complicated story. It is no longer a proper word. It is considered archaic. That is, it might still be used when someone is trying to create an old time feel, but nobody uses it outside of that.

It's layed. It's arcane but appropriate.

Besides, the Betfair doco says layed so I go with that. They should know. It's also nicely unambiguous as that form only applies to betting.

But my grammar checker suggests "played" if I type "layed"!

Gotta say the more I look into this the more 'laid' seems right afterall. The use of 'laid' vs 'layed' seems to be more to do with pronunciation, as in the ye olde way of saying "lay-ed" (2 syllables) rather that "laid" (1 syllable). I found a 'layd' too but I won't go there, spelling wasn't very standardised way back when. "did lay" might be easier, but a bit country bumkin :)

FFS, I've made 15 pence today, spent 15 minutes doing my accounts, I'll soon be on my 15th can of beer, and now I'm reduced to discussing layed or laid. :lol:
