Laying Horses At Big Prices
Laying horses is completely different to backing horses of course and carries quite a large risk, especially if you are laying horses at fairly big prices.

How To Make Money When Backing Favourites
I was looking at the stats regarding the favourites recently and as you will probably be aware, they generally win about 35% of all races.This figure has increased over the past few years, probably down to how accurate the odds have become on the betting exchanges and predominantly Betfair.I say accurate, but of course this […]
