Sorry - been away from my desk and only just seen this. The back will always get matched before any lays are placed - that's the way the servant works.
Before you place the lay you need to be as confident as possible that the horse is running badly (or e.g.. jockey has problems with the horse). You then place your bet and watch it closely - as well as for example the second and third favs. If you have any doubts close all and green immediately - don't wait for the bet to come good.
You can do more that one horse but that is adding to your pressure. Chose longer races where you have time to observe wat is going on and keep to shorter priced horses e.g. <4.
That's it - as simple as that. I find this method less stressful than pre-off, having done both. The servant will work on pre-off races although there are other possibilities which -Dallas has posted in the servants section.
Lay to back auto servant
Thanks, yes I can now confirm that it only places the back after lay is matched (I must have been imagining things before!).lavenham wrote: ↑Wed Jul 30, 2025 5:08 pmSorry - been away from my desk and only just seen this.
