Underrated strategy
I covered the ‘lay the field’ strategy in some depth in racing ahead magazine a couple of months or so ago, it’s an easy strategy that works well and has been popular amongst exchange users for years. On Bet Angel you just need to set the odds, a value and click to lay the field.
To make it work, all you need to do is look for a market with a great deal of uncertainty about it. One market that was well qualified recently to fulfil this criteria was the Aston Villa next manager market. In fact most next manager markets exhibit similar characteristics and you can profit if you lay the field early on in these markets. A competitive handicap in racing over a short distance can also be fun!
Currently in the Aston Villa next manager market, these are the lowest traded odds: –
Bob Bradley – 1.43
Sven GE – 2.00
Kevin MacDonland – 2.32
Martin Jol – 5.00
Gareth Southgate – 6.00
Laying the field at less than 3.00’s would have been a viable strategy here and it’s possible that others may still come into contention.
A worthwhile strategy in your armoury.
