best time to lay?

[jamierobertsona]

Hi all, just wondering, generally, what time would be the best time to lay a bet to stand any chance of getting the best lay price? Minutes before the off, seconds before the off, or does it not really matter?

Many thanks

Each race is different, there is no optimum time for placing a bet. You need to learn how to profit from trading if you wish to read the markets correctly.

You can only judge which way the market will go for a particular horse by knowing certain trends in advance, and how all the variables work together. :)

the best time to lay is basically, - the time that you are comfortable to lay, and can do on a consistant basis.

some people prefer to lay just before the off.
some in batches (ie, an hours worth at a time)
some bung them all on at once.

whichever way you do it will basically end up with the same result.
