All of our videos are strictly personal opinions. Please make sure to do your own research. Never take one person's opinion for financial guidance.

I just bet lay the draw with a £5 if I lose I just double it in another match to get back a £5 I lost in the previous game, if lost again I triple it.... Never had more than a 4 draw in a row...only problem than you need a 2k on your betfair account.

Yeah, but what happens if you let's say hava a 3-4 draw in row.... Remember that you lose more than win...

— @studyobservation-rn3bm

This does not come at any additional cost to you. With some of these services I have negotiated discounted prices for viewers of the Smart Sports Trader Channel.

What do you guys do in case of draw? Still back the draw minimising the lost?

If I have a winning lay football strategy ( liability £100 each bet ) 0:01 and have shown a profit over 1000 bets of average odds of 3 , shall I just lay to £2000 a game

Hi Ryan. Great video ,in fact I watched quite a few of your videos and they all seem to be pretty good. I was wondering whether you would be kind enough to share the filters you use to find games for your LTD strategy and maybe which leagues you prefer to use for it at the moment , . A future video on that would be great.

Hi SST. I've enrolled with FTS Ultimate. Just received my first 8 LTD tips today. Odds range from 3.70 to 5.20. Average 4.39. You say you lay your bets at 3.2 and 3.5. So, do you lay your bets at these lower odds before the match or wait until the odds drop to these lower figures?

@JulesRulesOK
@

Fs 5 mins in and you've told us absolutely fuck all

@Spaceman2026-h4o

Wow 40 consecutive winning lays at 3.20, it's 0,69 power 40 = 0,000036% or 3,6 in 10 000 000 tries, the best joke I've ever seen , very smart sports trader :)

@amerildo2270
@

Hi, great video. :)
I was wondering, how do you do your match research? How do you know in what match to lay the draw and what not?

@Ontacross5956
@

Is using the double chance home or Away same as lay the DRAW ? Just in order to control the loss for a small BK.

@sp7409
@

the good thing about betfair markets with good liquidity is that the market overround is very low, which means betting randomly you should break even or end up with a very very small loss over the long term... which means you need to push the needle just a little bit in your direction to start generating profit, unlike with bookmakers where most markets have 4-5+% overround, meaning your strategy needs to make enough money to cover the artificial 5% (on betfair that number is less than 0.5% on markets with good liquidity) and then you start earning for yourself,.... so you need to have 6 or 7 % edge over the market long-term which is pure insanity. Thats why Betfair is the best

@GNMbg

Great video - still a little bit unsure on how you find your picks for the FT LTD? I understand that odds should range from 3.2 to 3.5, however still between those you need to find the best ones, or do I miss something?

@srenjacobsen8388

Is lay the draw mean betting that a draw will happen or won't?

@jakew-thinks
@

Você fecha a entrada, caso aconteça um gol? Ou deixa até o fim.?

@PatrickPKL10
@

Do you concentrate on any particular league? Statistically, it would appear the smaller leagues have lower incidence of draws than the major leagues.

What subscription do you recommend on fts for lay the draw? Thank you

@enricosclosa
@

You said you had 2% premium charge? Details? Its about betinasia?

@Diaconu
@

just a bit new to lay the draw so you put £20 lay on the man utd game the first goal went in the you backed at 11 at £9 but how much do you know how much to put on the back bet like you did is it half of the lay stake? thanks if you can help

@stupot1952
@

Great video! Have you ever thought about a Betfair Bot which could place the bets automatically for you?

@JamesWhaley13
@

All betfair strategy are the same, at every strategy you are waiting for goal to happen and then you go out.

@sandroaleks6737
@

lay the draw is not a strategy its gambling, you'll make many small wins, and a few big losses that will wipe out all the wins and some more

@matteo-cu8uv
@

The problem with most traders is they have it ingrained in their head that after a goal they have to trade out, even if the under dog scores, why??? You have laid the draw, if the score continues to be the same you can cash out and win, if they score another you can cash out and win, if the favourite equalises you are back to the beginning, if the game is still a draw after 70 mins cash out for a loss, get over this underdog scoring first and cashing out for a loss!!

Where do you get the selections from ?

@stoney6391
@

Excellent video, backed up with data love it

@stewoods2728
@

Profit or not, LTD from kick off is not for me... I wait until the right game and the right odds (under 2.0) = more profit and lower liability.

@preeno
@

How many leagues do you bet on lay the draw?

@ladislavskurek2247
@

£300 profit in one year is not impressive by any means

@ibrahimal-ameeri8540
@

I am against lay the draw, you are better of laying the score.

This strategy is misapplied. Because people do not hedge it

@tlawengmophosho4848

can u test 2 goals in second half if dry first half with this expensive program ?

@antskilu1354

Any chance of getting your selections? (For a fee obviously.)

@discount-o-saurus6629
@

@ronaldcarias6866

Do you still straight up follow any value betting tipsters? And if so who? I’ve started following mark o’haire and hes seem very decent so far.

Still works, just have to have the plan and stick to it. Was the 3.2 - 3.5 system from ultimate database?
40 winners in a row is lovely!
