My Lays from May 26th to June 8th.
Back to My Blog.  (Opens another window).

Below is a copy of the spreadsheet that I was using for my lays.
My Epsom winner at odds of 100.0 is highlighted in yellow.
Below the spreadsheet are a couple of screenshots of my Betfair account showing my lays.
Barney McGrw is near the bottom of the Betfair screenshots, and Illustrious Prince is near the top.
there are one or 2 other bits in my account such as a lay of the Derby winner as I traded the Ladbrokes "Lose only" refund on Camelot - - to guaramnteed winnings, win or lose.
Also, there is a Moneybookers depsit as I shifted a bit of cash around, which was unrelated to my trading.

In the top spreadsheet screenshot, profit from my lays by June 8th was about a fiver before commission.
My loss when I hit the winner at odds of 100.0 was about Minus £11.08 before commission deductions on my previous successful lays.
That is shown in a 2nd spreadsheet screenshot, below the 2 screenshots of my Betfair account.

These screenshots may demonstrate that laying BIG odds may not be as daunting as we might expect, providing that we can get started by hitting a few losers before we hit a winner.
Get over that initial barrier by getting some profit in hand from laying a few losers, and laying BIG odds looks a bit more comfortable.
That's my way of looking at laying at present.

Eps 5.25 Swilly Ferry            

The lay of Swilly Ferry later on Derby Day, reduced my overall loss down to Minus £5.37.
Lays of Halla San and Illustrious Price, then put my trades into profit Plus £5.01.
See the top screenshots for those lays.
