Hi

So im looking at laying horses pre off, now as an example, say the favorite is currently 5.7, but I want to lay him at 100 and then back at 200, I cant.

The market takes youre lay liability amount, eg £15 liability so 15p and then will lay 15p at 5.7 so 15p win for 70p risk, better than £15 risk for 15p profit. Or so it seems....

My thinking is, and I want to be able to try this, is if the fav odds rocket to 100, then they are more likley to hit 200 than 1.01, but the market is I guess, giving me better value, which in this case, I dont want.

Apart from doing this inplay where I have come foul in the past as they price moves too quickly, is there a way of doing this? Even if it seems silly to you guys.

Thanks

Is this the type of thing you are looking to do?
