Example Lay the Draw Trade on Betfair

Laying the Draw is a common football trading strategy. A lay bet is placed on the draw when the game is currently drawing, if either team go on to score a goal at any point after you have placed the lay bet you will go on to make a profit.

This video shows an example lay the draw trade in the premier league game between Leicester and Norwich. I walk you through my thought process on why I chose to use this strategy for this game and how I go on to make a 70% profit on my stake.

Good strategy I do this on the most popular team just lay that way I can be wrong 3 times out of 4 and still be in profit with odds of 1.2-1.5.

Not a trading method I use but, just to let you know, if you want to squeeze a little more profit out of it, after a goal you could just remove the red and leave scratch on the draw.
You can then move some green onto the draw towards the end of the game when you can do so very cheaply. The few times there's an equaliser in the meantime will be annoying at first but you'll have lost nothing and your focus should be on the long-term as opposed to on any single match.
Also, don't use the cash out button - trading out manually is always the better option and will give you more profit.
Doing those two things should increase your long-term ROI by as much as 10% or 20%.

Hi there. If I don't have betfair. Can I do LTD betting on 12 (double chance)?

[stupot]

can you cash out automatic once a goal has been scored if you are away from your computer

You can lay any draw by backing it at full time and laying it at double chance on the either 1X OR 2X double chance.. Which still gives you the double chance Option The 1X your laying the Draw but are also backing the away team to win or Back the Draw and lay it with Double chance 2X so Laying the Draw an have the home side on your side so a 66% chance of winning. even better if you know what is what in football. I have no real clue.. Comments Please.

Good videos, this was a bet though and not a trade. If you choose to let it run are you still going to be profitable if your strike rate is 50-60%

Anyhow keep up the good work, i enjoy following your trading journey, i'm currently about 1 year behind you.
