Spotlight – Issue 1: Football Advisor Lays
On a regular basis, we take an in-depth look at a betting service, (including our own) with particular emphasis on it's performance and why you may wish to consider adding it to your portfolio.
In today's issue, we take a look at the popular, and award winning, Football Advisor Lays.
Football Advisor Lays – Overview
As the name would suggest, Football Advisor is a lay betting model.
This means we are using a betting exchange to bet against an event happening.
Let's say we we don't think that Crewe will win against Oxford United. But we want to have cover on the draw as well as an Oxford United win. This is where lay bet would come in
In this example, we have laid Crewe for £10.
If Crewe WIN the game, we lose £24.50 (The odds (minus 1), multiplied by our stake)
If the match is a DRAW, we win £10.00 (less any commission)
If Crewe LOSE (Oxford win), we win £10.00 (less any commission).
With Football Advisor Lays, you are actually getting two betting services rolled into one, as we also provide Lay The Draw selections as well.
It works in the same way as the above example, except we want any outcome except for the game to end as a draw.
If the match is a DRAW, we lose £26.00
If Crewe OR Oxford United Win, we win £10.00 (less any commission)
Do I need Access to Betfair or another Betting Exchange?
Although it is recommended to bet with a betting exchange, and necessary if you want to automate your bets (more on this later), it is not essential.
We understand many members are from regions where, although betting is allowed, betting exchanges are not permitted or that you are limited to betting exchange brokers, like Orbit.
In these circumstances, it does not need to mean that you have to miss out on these profitable bets.
You can also place these bets using the markets available with traditional bookmakers, namely Double Chance or the Asian Handicap
– Double Chance
Taking the first example above, the lay of Crewe, we are in effect, placing a bet on Oxford United and the Draw, which is in effect a 1X bet on Double Chance (Oxford or Draw)
The key thing to note is that you would not stake £10, but rather your liability equivalent if laying on the exchange, in this case £24.50.
Your return would be £33.07, less your £24.50 stake, giving you a profit of £8.57 profit.
It is a little lower than what you would expect from Betfair, even after commission, but it is an option available to you if for the reasons listed above, you can't use the exchange.
Alternatively, you can also look to use the Asian Handicap market to place the same type of bet. It is also likely that your returns will be higher as Asian Handicap markets tend to have the lowest vig (margin) for the bookmaker.
In this example we would make a profit of (32.59-24.50) £8.09, so actually the lowest in all of our examples, which is unusual for the Asian Handicaps. But I did have to change bookmakers as not all of them have full coverage of the Asian Handicap markets (Bet365 is generally the most reliable with the widest options).
But it does demonstrate our point, that you DO NOT need to have access to Betfair to follow Football Advisor Lays – although it does help.
Side Note – one advantage of the bookmakers over the exchanges is that you can consider rolling up a number of the selections into an accumulator which does hold merit when considering the high strike rate of these selections.
