Hi guys.

I follow a tipster and have noticed that every time a large price horse is tipped, its price plummeted on both the exchange and with bookmakers. Example is today a horse was tipped at 16-1 and now it’s 5-1 with the bookies and the lay price is 7-1 on the exchanges.

Now to me there seems a huge opportunity to lay the horse for profit.

I’m looking for some advice on how to calculate how much to place on the lay bet to lock in a profit. Or if there is a better way to benefit this situation as it arises very often.

Thanks

Unless you've got that early and good price then your better trying to catch it at the bottom end, there is a ready-made bot in the shared files section that looks for exactly this and the scenario you've outlined

If you have backed at the bookies and are looking to lay on the exchange you'll need to use a betting calculator to work out your lay stake (if your not able to do it manually)

Hi, I'm looking to use this bot to place a Back bet if the price moves in by 1 odds, so for the WOM condition what would be a good percent to use if backing rather than laying.

Thanks in advance.
