Can you still profit by laying last time out winners in horse racing? In this video and podcast, we break down the Last Time Out Winner Lays strategy for Betfair in 2026 and look at how this approach works, why many traders are drawn to it, and what you need to watch out for before using it. A lot of traders like this angle because it feels logical. A horse won last time, the market may overreact, and that can create opportunities to oppose short-priced runners. But as always, the real questi...
In this podcast I break down a Maiden Lay The Favourite Betfair trading strategy for 2026. Maiden races can create some of the most interesting opportunities on Betfair because many favourites are unproven horses with very little race data. That uncertainty often leads to favourites being overpriced or vulnerable in the market. Instead of blindly backing favourites, many traders look for situations where the favourite may be overestimated by the market. In this video you’ll learn: • Why m...

The Back The Beaten Favourite is one of the most interesting Betfair horse racing trading strategies. It focuses on what happens after the race, not before it. When a short-priced favourite gets beaten, the market often overreacts in the next race or the horse’s next run. Traders who understand how Betfair markets behave can sometimes find value opportunities. In this video I explain: • What the Back The Beaten Favourite strategy is • Why the Betfair market often overreacts to beaten favouri...
Cheltenham is one of the biggest weeks in horse racing, but it can also be one of the toughest times for Betfair horse racing strategies. In this video, I break down why so many strategies struggle during the Cheltenham Festival, what changes in the markets, and why results can look very different compared to normal racing days. You’ll learn how increased liquidity, sharper prices, more public money, and unusual race conditions can all affect your edge. I’ll also explain why some traders forc...
Can a simple 20-tick Back to Lay strategy still work in horse racing trading? In this video and podcast, I break down the idea behind using a fixed 20-tick profit target when trading horse racing on Betfair. You will see why this approach appeals to so many traders, what makes a good Back to Lay setup, and where this strategy can go wrong if you are not careful. We also look at the importance of rules, discipline, and testing your results so you are not just guessing. Because with horse racin...
In this podcast, we take a detailed look at the Dobbing (Double or Bust) Betfair trading strategy and analyse the latest horse racing results. Dobbing is one of the most popular pre-race Betfair trading strategies, where the goal is simple: back a horse before the race and place a lay bet at half the odds to double your stake if the price shortens. But does it actually work in real trading? In this episode we break down: • What the Dobbing strategy is and how it works • Real horse racin...

Most horse racing bettors don’t lack ideas. They lack proof.

You’ll learn why gut feelings and popular angles often fail, how professional traders validate strategies properly, and what actually creates long-term profitability in the racing markets. If you’re serious about turning racing insights into consistent results rather than gues...
Most horse racing strategies don’t fail because they’re bad ideas. They fail because they’re never properly tested. In this episode, we break down the real reasons why so many betting strategies fall apart — small sample sizes, emotional decision-making, misleading strike rates, and overfitting after the fact. You’ll learn why “feels profitable” is not the same as is profitable, and how proper backtesting removes guesswork, exposes weak ideas early, and helps you build strategies that can act...

Most traders overlook one of the simplest – yet most powerful – factors in horse racing: gender. Colts, geldings, and fillies all perform differently under certain conditions, and if you don’t account for this in your trading, you’re leaving money on the table.

You’ll discover why traders often misprice female horses, where the hidden value lies, and how to use this overlooked angle to sharpen your...
