Anybody fancy a lay a day?

Kankan14

For my next silly scheme I've decided to do a little laying log(no pun intended).
Ive lodged 100 for a starting bank. Gonna start off laying anything from horses to football teams I think are too short. Max liability for anyone lay is going to be €10 until/if we increase our bank to €250 or €300 then may increase it or withdraw original stake for the free roll .

I'm gonna have to do this on Betdaq though because I already have a stash on betfair for Cheltenham/League of Ireland betting purposes.
Lays may vary from one every few days to loads in a day. There's no set time limit.
Feel free to stick up anything you think is too short a price or just isn't capable of winning. I'll be back at some stage with my first lay.
BTW I'm aware what I'm doing is not strictly a lay a day but those kind of restrictions would be stupid imo

Picked 3 horses to lay today. Changing ground recently means horses a little shorter than they should be I'm hoping.

1) Leicster 3.35 Lay Ravethebrave @2.37 his win last time was on soft ground and there is enough in the race for me to oppose him. Rash move won on good ground the time before last (good and good to firm in places today). His mistake late the last day took it out of him or he'd have taken much closer order. Also classinglass and presentandcorrect both won a PTP last time out.
Laying Ravethebrave for €5 to lose €6.85

2) Ayr 3.45 laying Ballabriggan @2.1
Not bad form of late was 3rd of 4 last time in a novice chase and his recent win was in a h'cap hurdle.
Quintara and 3 other all making chasing debut today so could be anything really. Twentypoundluck made his chase debut last time out was hampered late on having led a long way and would have finessed closer imo. Again there's enough there for me to 2.1 is too short about the jolly.

Laying Ballabriggan for €5 to lose €5.50

3) 5.10 Sandown laying Valcode TOuzaine @ 2.4.
For me Nicholls horses are always underpriced in novice/maiden hurdles. To be fair his last three runs were on ground much softer than today's good, g/s in places.
There are some interesting contenders in the race though fair bramble has course form and would have been closer here only for a bad mistake at the last.
Viva Stevie dropped back to two miles today where he was 2nd on last two efforts at this distance in nov hurdles.
The real interesting one for me is an ex D.Weld horse called Expanding Paradise won a Fairyhouse bumper for Weld and was far from disgraced in two decent maiden hurdles in Ireland on ground soft or heavy both times.
Laying Valcode TOuzaine for €5 to lose €7.

Balance: 80.65

Have a few lays for today. Had looked at more rugby,tennis,soccer and horses but left it at these. No time for a write up on my selections today.
Just that I fancy the horses have enough in the races against them to make them opposable, the tennis matches are much closer than the betting is priced up and the golf 2 balls are priced up a little askew also.


1)4.40 Wolverhampton Braxbourne(2.3) laying for €5 to lose 6.80.
2)5.35 Gowran Park Indevan(2.14)
laying for €5 to lose 5.60
3) ATP Paribas Open laying Youzhny(1.4) against Mayer for €5 to lose €2
4) WTA Paribas Open laying Peng(1.47) against Dulgheru for €5 to lose €2.35
5)WTA Paribas Open laying Makerova(1.52) against Mulguruza for €5 to lose €2.54.
6)Golf WGC third round 2 ball
Laying J.Furyk(1.85) against Mannesero for €5 to lose €4
7)Golf WGC third round 2 ball
Laying R.Sterne (2.2) against R.Henley for €5 to lose €6

Balance €83.89

So 5 successful lays out of 7 from today.
Furyk and Peng both won to be our only losers.

New Balance:€131.83

Kankan14

2 lays today both at Naas

1) 5.10Foxrock was very unimpressive last time for me and didnt pick up at all I don't see 3 miles as the best trip for this one.
There's enough in the race to make 3.0 too short.
Laying Foxrock for €5 to lose €10
2) 5.40 Coluer France only one run third and the 2nd fab has been taken out. Which makes the price of this one Too short to me at 2.5. There's enough debutants and horses who can progress to make that price too short for me.
Laying Coluer France for €5 to lose €7.50

Foxtrot won but at least the other one lost. A slightly losing day with 1 bet out of 2 correct.

Balance € 126.43

A few tennis lays tonight, as I probably won't be on tomorrow with cheltenham starting Tuesday.
All are at Indian Wells. The Paribas Open

1) ATP.
Laying Nishikori v Petschnizer
These two only met once and it went to a decider Nishi winning 7-5. But with neither too playing much of late I think he's too short.
Laying Nishikori for €5 to lose €1.25 @1.25

2) ATP
Laying Sam Querrey v R.Karlovic
Their head to head is even at 3-3 and both players have a pretty poor record on hard court in recent times. This one won't be a great spectacle to watch and I'd make it about 4/5 for Querrey so think the 1.47 on offer is too short.
Laying S.Querrey for €5 to lose €2.35 @1.47

3) WTA
Laying A.Radwanska v S.Cirstea
Aggie is very short and probably rightly so but Cirstea is not bad on hard court with a record of 9 wins and 6 losses this season. Not as good as Radwanska at 18/3 but the head to head is only 5-3 to Radwanska. So it's a speculative lay at a very short price.
Laying Radwanska for €5 to lose .55c @1.11

4) WTA
Laying Kvitova v Tsurenko
I think Tsurenko can cause a surprise here. They've never met but both have good records on hard court Kvitova 10/4 and Tsurenko 13/3 with Kvitova playing so much tennis recently she can't be 100%.
Laying Kvitova for €5 to lose €1.65 @ 1.33

5) WTA
Laying M.Bartoli v Kuznetsova
I'm never convinced Bartoli is gonna get through a match without trying to kill someone her temperament is questionable at best. When she's good she is very good but can crumble very easy. Kuznetsova has been slowly coming back to form nicely and will be much more at home here than Bartoli I think.
Laying Bartoli for €5 to lose €6.70 @ 2.34

Quite a few bets there that are short priced and speculative. There's just no value if the fav's for me in any of them and they'll all have tough matches to get through so happy to take them on.

Balance : €113.93

No good last night. Balance remains as above

Kankan14

Plenty of horses for tomorrow as well as a football and tennis bet(tennis in wee small hours).
NB a couple of the horse bets havent been matched yet. Liquidity apart from Cheltenham is a little sparse the night before racing.

1)League Two Northampton away to Morecambe
Northampton obly won 4 times away from home. Likewise Morecambe have only lost 4 times at home all season.
Laying N'hampton at 2.7 for €5 to lose €8.50.
2) Paire v Simon
I think Simon should be 1/3 not any bigger so I'll oppose Paire. Paire is very much a momentum player and even though he leads the head to head 2-0 he has been in poor form recently losing 3 of his last 4 first round matches. Simon has been decent of late beating Del Potro and losing in the semi in Marseilles to Tsonga.
Laying Paire @2.5 for €5 to lose €7.50.
3) sedgefield race 3.
Party Rock will have to defy a big penalty and I don't see him being good enough to even in low grade stuff like this.
Laying party rock @1.73 for €5 to lose 3.66.
4) sedgefield race 5.
Laying Dunluce Castle @2.3 for €5 to lose €6.50
5)Southwell race 1
This maiden is a lot more open for me than the fav's price suggests.
Laying Star of Rohme @2.44 for €5 to lose €7.20
6) Cheltenham race 2.
Not a very inspiring renewal of the arkle. Soft ground and only two places mean I don't fancy overturn at all at all.
Place laying overturn @2.12 for €5 to lose €5.60
7)Cheltenham race 4
As Champion Hurdles go it's not the best we'll see but a combination on soft ground and a slow pace will not suit rock on ruby at all IMO.
Place laying Rock on Ruby @2.06 for €5 to lose €5.30
8)Cheltenham race 6.
In the mares hurdle I think the first two are certainly coming from quevega and use artiste. So with one place to fight for it could go anyway.
Place laying Kentford Grey Lady@2.9 for €5 to lose €9.50.

Balance is €60.18.
Could do with Tuesday going well to get some momentum for the remainder of the festival.

Kankan14

Northampton lost in football
Paire lost in tennis.
The only horse to let us down was Rock on ruby who got second. Sedgefield was abandoned to two non runners there.

Overall 5 winners from 6 and two non runners.

Balance €131.63

4 lays for tomorrow. Racing at the festival is tough, lots of good priced winners to find though. Again no overnight liquidity in the markets on betdaq. A little guesswork involved at getting match at the right price.

1) 2.40 Cheltenham
Place laying Boston Bob. This is based a bit on the fact be bombed out here last year in a diff race. I'm not convinced he likes the track at all. Also don't think the form of his racing this year is anything to boast about for the most part.
Place laying Boston Bob for €5 @2.00 to lose €5.
2)race 2 at Kempton You da One at least 4 other horses in the race have placed efforts in average maidens but may not need to progress much to win here. Very opposable for me on first run of the year.
Laying You da One for €5 @ 1.8 to lose €4.
3) Race 5 Southwell laying masterful act.
I just don't think he can defy the penalty.
Laying masterful act for €5 @ 2.1 to lose €5.50.
4)Race 6 Southwell laying fraserburgh
If my tissue is right he'll be about evens which is too short. Plenty of competitive progressive types to oppose him with.
Laying Fraserburgh for €5 @2.00 to lose €5.
