The public live Google P/L spreadsheet tracks results from a £1,000 starting bank using its disclosed suggested, liability-capped recovery stakes and any visible manual stake overrides. It is a modelled tracker, not proof that every bet was placed. Each settled selection, outcome and published lay price matches this public record. Past performance does not guarantee future outcomes.

FAQ

Quick answers.

The essentials before using any lay betting research.

How does lay betting work?

Lay betting means betting against a runner. In horse racing, a lay wins if the selected horse does not win the race, and loses if that horse wins.

Does Lay Picks place bets automatically?

No. Lay Picks is research and tracking software. It shows shortlists, reasoning, prices, liability, and results, but the final decision stays manual.

How are Lay Picks results tracked?

Every published lay pick remains visible, including explained voids and non-runners. Only settled lay wins and losses count toward strike rate and P/L.

Can lay betting lose money?

Yes. If the selected horse wins, the lay loses and the liability is paid. Lay Picks keeps risk, price discipline, and responsible staking visible.
