I tried this system around 3 months ago when I was attempting to find a consistent system to use with Betfair.

As the name implies, Betalay involves laying horses (for those not in the know, when you lay a horse you are betting it won’t win).

When you lay a horse, let’s say for arguments sake the odds are 3.00 and you lay it for 10 pounds – if your horse wins you will lose 20 quid- however if your horse does not win the race (quite likely because if there are 7 horses in the race 6 of them won’t win) you only win the amount you staked- so in our example you will win a tenner. That is fine and dandy, but horses that are expected to lose have a nasty habit of romping home, and if he was a 10 to 1 horse you stand to lose 100 pounds and the only hope you ever had was to win a tenner. For this reason, I am a little wary of laying- at least when backing a selection you can only lose the amount you backed- and not many times your original stake.

The Betalay system involves laying the 3rd favourite in a race- providing the horse meets a certain criteria.

The Betalay people claim you can earn around £2000 per month if use use £25 stakes. They have some very impressive screenshots on their site, showing how the system has made £195,000 profit since July 2000.

I began playing this and had a few days where I was in profit- on day 3, I was slightly down, but by day 4 I got hit big time. Although you see plenty of good reviews of this product, my advice is to tread very carefully- I have also seen many bad reviews- mostly on private forums. I think this is a product you can use for short periods of time and possibly get lucky, after all the third favourite is not the most likely horse to win the race. I would do this a few times, then if you get lucky twice, just get out!

I do not think this system can win consistently over the long term. I am only awarding it 3-out-of-10 points, because it lost me money; the claims on the sales page are very misleading because they are quoting Betfair’s SP odds (When you lay at Betfair you will be paying odds around 20% higher than Betfair’s SP. At these prices you would not be showing the profit that the Betalay people quote) it is very very expensive for 5 pages of poor information- all in all, one to be avoided.
