AI Lay Betting Tips
Machine learning-powered lay selections. Let artificial intelligence identify horses to oppose on Betfair Exchange.
Betty Lays uses machine learning to identify horses that are overbet by the market – horses whose odds are shorter than their true chance of winning. When the AI lay betting model finds these opportunities, it issues a lay selection.
Lay betting means you're betting against a horse winning. On Betfair Exchange, you take the role of the bookmaker. If the horse loses (or places, depending on market), you win the backer's stake. If it wins, you pay out.
All AI lay betting selections are tracked publicly in our complete betting record. No private proofing, no selective reporting. Review the full history before subscribing.
How AI Lay Betting Works
The AI model analyses thousands of data points for each race: form figures, trainer statistics, course records, going preferences, market movements, and more. It calculates a probability for each runner and compares this to the available odds.
When a horse's implied probability (from the odds) significantly exceeds the model's calculated probability, it flags a lay opportunity. These AI lay betting selections are then delivered to subscribers via Telegram.
This is fundamentally different from traditional tipster services. There's no human "expert" picking horses based on feelings or hunches. The model identifies mathematical value – situations where the market has mispriced a horse's chance of winning.
What you get:
- AI-generated lay selections daily
- Delivered via Telegram for instant notification
- Clear liability guidance per selection

If you're new to lay betting, here's how it works. When you lay a horse at odds of 5.0 (4/1), you're betting it won't win. If someone backs that horse for £10:
- If the horse loses: You keep their £10 stake (minus Betfair commission)
- If the horse wins: You pay them £40 (their £10 stake × 4)
Your liability on that bet is £40 – the maximum you can lose. Betty Lays AI lay betting selections target horses where the model believes the true probability of winning is lower than the odds suggest, creating positive expected value over time.
The advantage of lay betting is higher strike rates. You win whenever the horse doesn't win – which happens more often than it wins. The trade-off is that losses (when selections do win) are larger than individual profits.
Compare this to traditional win betting like HRN, where strike rates are lower but individual wins are larger. For more on lay betting fundamentals, see this Betfair guide to lay betting.
Automate AI Lay Betting with xCloudBot
Betty Lays is designed for automation. xCloudBot connects to your Betfair account and places every lay selection automatically, managing liability and timing without any manual input.
Bets are fired close to the off so everyone gets a similar price and results match ours. No chasing weak markets – just consistent execution.
This is particularly valuable for AI lay betting where you might have multiple selections per day and timing matters for odds.
AI vs Human Tipsters
Why use machine learning instead of human expertise?
No emotional bias – The model doesn't have favourite horses, doesn't get swayed by recent results, doesn't chase losses. It evaluates every race with the same mathematical framework.
Processes more data – A human can't realistically analyse 50+ factors for every horse in every race. The AI processes everything systematically.
Consistent methodology – No "off days" or distractions. The model applies the same approach every time.
That said, AI isn't magic. It still requires proper validation to ensure edge exists. Our public trial process proves the model works in real betting conditions – not just backtesting.

AI Lay Betting FAQ
Do I need Betfair Exchange for AI lay betting?
Yes. Lay betting is only available on betting exchanges like Betfair. Traditional bookmakers don't offer lay markets.
How much liability should I use?
We recommend limiting liability to 1-2% of your betting bank per selection. Our tracking uses £1 stakes for standardised results.
How many selections per day?
The model averages around 40-50 selections per month. Typically 1-3 selections on busy racing days, fewer when conditions don't present clear opportunities.
What's the strike rate for lay betting?
Lay betting inverts traditional strike rates. An 85% strike rate means 85% of selections lost the race (which is a win for you as the layer). Check our public records for current figures.
Is lay betting risky?
All betting carries risk. With lay betting, your maximum loss per bet is the liability (what you'd pay if the horse wins). Proper bankroll management is essential.
How does this compare to Gap Wins?
Gap Wins is the opposite approach – AI-powered win betting. Same machine learning methodology, but finding undervalued horses to back instead of overvalued horses to lay.
