Latest: How to place a
"Lay" bet under £2.00 on betfair.com
Up until a few months ago my main interest had always
been horses and although I had dabbled with other ideas it had not been with
any great convictions.
During the winter months of horse racing there
are normally only 3 meetings (less in bad weather) and so you are left with
very few selections so I decided to use the summer months to find further
sports events I could use during the winter season and that is why I looked at
Greyhound Racing.
There are always plenty of races to look at during the
day or evening which makes it even more attractive for people who have to work
during the day.
There are also plenty of meetings at the
weekend.
Bags meetings are my favourite they are a little similar to low
grade horse racing and there are normally 6 different meetings a
day.
BAGS meetings were originally conceived by high street bookies
because Greyhound meetings are traditionally evening meetings so most betting
happened when they were closed, so creating meetings all day meant they could
take advantage of punters who were interested in this form betting. Now bags go
through from normally 11am to 11pm although from the laying point of view
betfair.com only normally covers BAGS meetings up to 10pm and sometime a little
earlier.
Some things to watch out for:
- SP's apart from the favourites bare no resemblance to
the odds on
betfair.com so although you may wish to use them, don't expect them to be
relevant.
- Odds generally hot up about two minutes before the race
but if you are looking to bet on the favourite then you should wait for the 1
min mark.
- Sometimes a meeting gets behind, so watch out for this
because it can be as much as 20 min. If you have come in halfway through a
meetings races then check the last race to run to make sure it has finished,
otherwise you may be no where near the a minute mark!
- There is no "in running" on greyhounds and
betfair.com generally settle bets within a couple of minutes after the race
starts. There are plenty of photo finishes though so this can sometimes take a
little longer.
- There is normally between 8 and 12 minutes before each
race, it sounds a lot but if you are trying to calculate stakes and decide on
other things that time can really shoot past, so be prepared.
- I have tried looking for trading opportunities but the
prices between the back and lay side seem to be quite different meaning that
you need a lot of movement on either to make a trade possible.

running and any new products or information I find then please join my specific
