working out the value on odds to lay a horse at

[aliando]

? i'm gonna start looking at the laying game this season, both on the footy and the horses. my knowledge is much better on the footy but when it comes to the horses, i dont have the background knowledge that some of my learned friends here have and would like to tap into your thinking. I'm looking into a few things at the moment and would like to get an understanding of what odds to look at once i've chosen my donkeys. Ideally, I'll be looking to lay the smaller price horses/favs rather than the three-legged no-hopers. Any thoughts gratefully accepted and i also appreciate the use of easy-to-understand-cos-i'm-not-to-bright-english :D thanks :ok

I would be bit concerned if you were laying short price Favs in NOVICE hurdles as Odds on in these type of races as between 64 to 78% winning depending on their SP and above 40% WIN UP TO 2/1.Also the overall strike rate of Favs over the jumps is a lot higher than those on the flat. Thiers no doubt we have some of the best Lay threads on the net and although I do not Lay horses myself I just thought this may be of some interest to you
