lay the draw

[Marcdude182]

everybody seems to be very quick to knock this idea but surely if you have the patience to wait for the right game to appear and be disciplined to stick to your exit strategies it would be profitable, what are your experiences with this form of betting/trading? (if any)

Re: lay the draw lay draw low and back it when its high, after goal scored. The think with this strategy is that every now and then the underdog is the first team to score, causing a low rise of the draw back price, and hence you are still engaged with the risk. You have to wait for time pass and draw's odd go up. I think that favourites with odds of 1,50 or less that initiate the goal scoring are the more profitable ones. Picking ''each of two games'' is not that profitable. Again, as you already pointed out, you need discipline (stick to the plan) choose the right games, and also choose games that have lots of money matched or to be matched. In addition, the percentage of money that betfair takes from you has to be taken into account. There is a fee for depositing, withdrawing money and for every matched euro. Hence you have an 'overound' that reduced your profits, so you have to pick the correct draw back price, in order to be a winner in the long run.
