Laying a horse without Betfair ?

[grandwest]

If you wanted to lay a horse for 1000.00 at 6.0 but there wasn't the liquidity at the exchanges, can you lay it somehow by backing all the other runners at bookies, like a DC in football? And is it even worth thinking about, or would it get you limited quickly?

Betting on horses with fixed odds is a tough game. It's an ephemeral world,

similar to arbing as they put the same obstacles on us, and you'll have to look

for similar solutions. You must have access to all exchanges. If you do dutching

with fixed odds (in one or more bookies), or you eat the whole overround or you

will be limited quickly, and none is profitable... In the end you have the tote

odds... The hypodromes and of course Citibet.
