If you don't, then I'd advise you to pause here and read my Betfair trading basics article first. I assume readers know what 'laying' means. It still works very nicely and it always will.īelow is everything you need to know about laying the draw on Betfair, from the classic 'vanilla' approach, to my 'fine-tuned' version, and even a few other variations I use occasionally. Since then it has had a few minor changes but the core of the strategy remains exactly the same. That's when this article was first published.

Over a year or two I adjusted and 'honed' my approach to maximise profits. When I first started this site over a decade ago now, I was trading full time every day using this strategy almost exclusively.

Laying The Draw is probably the most well-known Betfair strategy of all time.
