laying 6th favourite
Its very easy, when creating any type of rule (in your case a 'place lay bet' rule) you can just apply it to 'By position (sorted in order of favouritism)'
Which you'd enter 6

i'd be very careful layng the 6th fav. yes you will get plenty of situations where the 6th fav doesn't win but all it will take is one win and it will wipe you out.
Hi Memphis,
you are of course spot on with your observation and laying the 6th fav blindly will not work.The prices of the loser(winner) when they turn up can be high and wipe out any gains made by a long series of laywins.But it is suprising how many favs in the 5th 6th 7th favs area come in at low odds on BF.But still not to be followed blindly.I only lay after hours of form study and applications of various methods.Its a slow little earner but has a few years of success behind it,and is just one of many approaches I use.I mostly lay and occasionally bet.I did try trading for a while but I just cant cultivate the mindset for that.
