The Laying Machine uses simple fixed-liability staking parameters:

• Only place the bet when the Live Lay Odds are 10.0 or below
• If the Live Lay Odds remain above 10.0 – No Bet
• Stake using Fixed Liability, rather than a fixed lay stake
• We recommend 1pt maximum liability per selection
• This means the most you can lose on any individual Laying Machine selection is 1pt, regardless of the lay price
• Once the table changes from WAITING to LAY, the selection has met the required price and can be played
• If a selection never reaches the required odds before the race – simply leave it alone
• Total Bank: 100pts

So if the lay price was 5.00, for example, a 1pt fixed liability would mean laying to a stake of 0.25pts. If the horse loses, you win 0.25pts (before commission); if it wins, you lose your maximum 1pt liability.

IMPORTANT – ALWAYS USE FIXED LIABILITY

The Laying Machine is designed around fixed-liability staking. Do not simply lay the same cash stake on every selection.

At lay odds of 9.00, a £10 lay stake would risk £80, whereas at odds of 2.00 the same £10 lay stake would risk just £10.

Using 1pt fixed liability means your maximum risk is always the same — 1pt per selection — regardless of the lay odds.

Fixed liability keeps every Laying Machine bet operating on the same level of risk.
