Lay betting tips, every lay on the record

Free lay selections every morning, and two lay services whose full records are public: Betty Lays from £30 a month, and Andys Lays through xCloudBot. Follow by email, or have the lays placed on your own Betfair account automatically.

The lay services →Today's free lays

Today's free lay selections — Sunday, 18 October 2026

The lay side of PuntHub's free systems, published before racing, usually by 8am UK time. Odds are those available when the selection went up and will move. Yesterday's results are below, winners and losers alike. The back selections are on the free horse racing tips page.

No free lay selections today. The systems only publish when a runner qualifies, so a quiet day is a quiet day, not a fault.

The lay services

Two services, two different ways of picking a horse to oppose. Every selection either has made is on the public record before the off, and the figures below are calculated from that record each time this page is built.

Placing a lay yourself

Lays are placed on a betting exchange, not with a bookmaker. On Betfair you pick the runner, choose Lay, enter the stake you want to win from the backer, and the exchange shows your liability: stake × (odds − 1). Lay £10 at 5.0 and you risk £40 to win £10. The liability is set aside from your balance while the bet is live.

Having the lays placed for you

xCloudBot runs on its own servers and places the selections on your Betfair account at the time you set, with your odds limits and stop-loss, as fixed-stake lays or lays to a fixed liability. Your computer stays off. Betty Lays and Andys Lays are both available inside it.

Questions about lay betting tips

What are lay betting tips?

Selections to lay rather than back: horses the tipster expects not to win. You place them on a betting exchange such as Betfair, where you take the other side of a backer's bet. If the horse loses you keep the backer's stake; if it wins you pay out the liability, which is your stake multiplied by the odds minus one.

Are the results real?

Every selection from every PuntHub service is logged before the race and settled afterwards, winners and losers alike, and the full record is public. The lifetime figures on this page are calculated from that record each time the page builds, not typed in.

Is there a free lay of the day?

PuntHub publishes free lay selections every morning from its automated systems, usually by 8am UK time, with the previous day's results in full. That includes a single free sample from Betty Lays: the one runner her model rates least likely to win that day. Subscribers get every Betty selection, not just the sample.

What does Betty Lays cost?

Betty Lays is £30 a month for the selections by email, or £50 a month with xCloudBot placing them on your own Betfair account automatically. Both are monthly through PayPal and you can cancel at any time.

How do I follow Andys Lays?

Andys Lays is £40 a month through xCloudBot: the selections are emailed each morning and placed on your Betfair account by the bot with your own staking. xCloudBot has a three-day free trial.

Can the lays be placed for me?

Yes. xCloudBot runs on its own servers and places the selections on your Betfair Exchange account at the time you set, as fixed-stake lays or lays to a fixed liability, with your own odds limits and stop-loss. Your computer does not need to be on. Betfair requires at least £10 of liability on a lay placed at Betfair SP.

How much should I have in the bank?

Laying needs a bigger bank than backing because a single loser costs a multiple of the stake. Betty's page recommends a bank of 100 points or more and keeping the liability on any one selection to 1–2% of it; Andy recommends a 200-point bank. Both records include losing runs; look at the worst-drawdown and longest-losing-run figures on each tipster page before you decide on a stake.

No service guarantees a profit, and laying can lose more than the stake. 18+ · BeGambleAware.org
