Imagine the possibility of a football lay betting system with the ability to help you profit 9 times from every 10 football bets you make. Just think how easy it would be to create some extra money by following a unique football betting system like that. Football Laying. The Lay Any Other Football System: Simply follow these instructions so that you can begin profiting on all football matches. Please be warned that the liability on these bets will be high, however, the risk of losing is actually low.
Compared to other betting sites, Betfair offers you interesting alternatives on the common betting system. They are known as “back”- and “lay”-bets and we will explain to you how you can use this betting system for your own purposes. This article shows you, step by step, how to place sports bets at betting exchanges like Betfair.
Now it’s time to explain how betting exchanges generally work, in comparison to normal bookmakers (here you can visit our bookie review section) work in generally. In figure 1 you can see a typical 3-way-bet market of the game Leicester City against Manchester United.

What exactly is a “back”-bet?
First of all, at Betfair, “back”-bets and their odds are always marked in blue.
Secondly, a “back”-bet is practically a common sports bet where you put you stake on a certain outcome of a bet. You are betting FOR something. If you bet 10 Euros on Manchester United you win the amount of your stake times the odds.
In this example (figure 2): 10 Euros x 1.67 = 16.70 Euros, minus the amount of your stake of 10 Euros would make a clear profit of 6.70 Euros.

The only difference to a regular sports bet is that your bet is not against the book-maker but against another betting exchange-user (who has bet on a different outcome of the game in question). Additionally, as you see in Figure 1, the provider set a ceiling amount which you cannot over bet.
Attention:Bear in mind that Betfair charges a commission of up to 5 % from the profit of your bet; that means your account will only be credited with 95 % of the profit you generate. If you lose your bet you do not have to pay any commission.

What is “lay”-betting?
This is a bet where you don’t bet on a specific outcome of a game but you bet AGAINST it. To be exact, in this scenario you will hold the position of a book-maker. If you’re not happy with the odds offered, you can propose a bet to other users, and you decide at what odds you want to do so.
Here in Figure 3, you see how you set the odds you want to offer and also the maximum amount a so called Backer (your counterpart who buys your bet) can bet.
By offering a “lay”-bet you get a double chance bet. As you bet AGAINST Manchester United in our sample, you win your bet if Leicester City wins and also if they draw. Before you place a bet you can check the Premier League fixtures and results to see who is matching up.

So now you sell your bet for 10 Euros at odds of 1.68. This means your betting account looks like this (see also in figure 5):
If the Leicester City wins you win 10 Euro
If they draw you win 10 Euro
If Manchester United loses, you lose 16.80 Euros. (10 Euro x 1.68 = 16.80 Euros – stake 10 Euros = 6.80 Euros clear loss)

We hope that this brief introduction into “back”- and “lay”-bets at betting exchanges helped you to understand this complex topic. As you can see, there are more betting strategies than just the common bet against the book-maker. In the German Bundesliga or Premier League Market you will always find enough people who will back or lay your bets. To build a successful betting concept, it is essential to invest a little bit of time to fully understand the betting market. To conclude, we want to show you another strategy which can prove very fruitful, if it is done right.
“Laying the Draw”-Strategy
To begin with, this strategy is not really for beginners. It takes a certain comprehension of the betting market and also the field (e.g. football) you want to bet on.
But this is how it works: first you search for a game in which you expect a goal within the first half. So you compare earlier games of those teams and check if the teams are prone to scoring a goal in the first 45 minutes, or if one team is the favourite.
In the next step, you place a “lay”-bet at Betfair on a Draw. So you bet that either Team A or Team B wins. You offer odds of 4.5 with a stake of 10 Euros.
In this scenario you would:
lose 35 Euro on a Draw (10 Euro stake x 4.5 odd – 10 Euro stake = 35 Euro)
win 10 Euro on a Team A Win
win 10 Euro on a Team B Win
The next step is to wait for the game to start and a goal to be scored. If a team scores, the odds on a Draw increases (to e.g. 6.8) and you place a “back”-bet on the Draw. Now you place 6.62 Euros on the Draw which would mean you get the profit of the “back”-bet” of 38.40 Euros (6.62 stake x 6.8 – 6.62 stake = 38.40) in case of a Draw.
In case of a Win by either Team A or B you will get your 10 Euros from the “lay”-bet, less the amount of the “back”-bet (10 Euros “lay”-profit – 6.62 Euros “back”-loss = 3.38 Euros clear profit).
In case of a Draw you will get your “back”-profit decreased by the “lay”-loss. (38.4 Euros “back”-profit – 35 Euros “lay”-loss = 3.4 Euros clean profit)
Team A wins: 10 – 6.62 = 3.38
Team B wins: 10 – 6.62 = 3.38
Draw: -35 + 38.4 = 3.4
As you can see you will not make a substantial amount with every bet, but if you use this strategy more often, you can of course yield some good profits. The only case in which you would lose your stake of 35 Euros, is if the game ends with a 0-0 draw.
But firstly, we minimise that risk by doing a profound research before the game(s) and secondly, statistically speaking, only 6 out of 100 football games draw 0-0.
Hint: Place your “back”-bet on the Draw quickly after the first goal as the odds are at their highest immediately after the goal. You can also keep your stake for the “lay”-bet small, so in case of a 0-0 Draw, your losses will be minimal.

My name is Jonathan Fox and I am a professional sports bettor. I make a full time income on sports betting (Primarily football), and have been doing so since 2012. In a few minutes time, you will find out one of the methods that I use to earn my fortune – which gives me the security to buy anything I need, take numerous luxurious holidays each year, and pretty much have far more free time than the average guy on the street.
Fellow Punter,
Over the next 5 minutes of your life, make yourself a cup of coffee (or grab a beer depending on the time you read this letter), sit back, relax and read what I have to say. This short letter is for you. If you want to learn a simple way that you can earn a consistent income from football, then you’ve come to the right place.
And remember: What I’m sharing will finally allow you to make real money and give you the lifestyle you have always wanted & deserve.
Over the last few years, I have worked with a small, elite group of friends, teaching them how to make consistent profit from Betfair (or any bookmaker), while making many of them very wealthy. I’ve seen the result of this system in action and I know that it works.
When it comes to sports betting, you may think you’ve seen and heard it all before…
So, what is this all about?
Lay Betting Football Games
I am heavily involved in football betting. I use a range of statistical web sites, form guides and as much information as I can get my hand on. This allows me to make extremely well-informed decisions on what bets to place. My laying system is one of the most profitable on the internet and I know this based on my own Betfair account!
Let me tell you everything.
Since the start of last season, betting on 6 different leagues (Premier League, Championship, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga), I’ve placed a total of OVER 700 bets.
Now – that’s quite a lot – 700+ bets equates to an average of over 2 bets per day.
Using £20 stakes, you’d have made £7168.20 (tax free profit) since the beginning of last season.
Using £50 stakes, you’d have made £18,068.20 (tax free profit) since the beginning of last season.
You can start with much smaller stakes and build your way up.
Even stakes as low as £2 is more than fine!
This really is a completely RISK FREE opportunity.
