Footy Lays – Lay Away Teams
Simple football lay betting – bet against away wins on Betfair Exchange. Win on home victory OR draw. Included in the Footy Engine bundle.
Footy Lays delivers lay away team tips – we identify matches where the away team is unlikely to win, then lay them on Betfair Exchange. You profit if the home team wins OR if the match ends in a draw.
This service is part of the Footy Engine bundle, which includes all three football systems (Footy Lays, Draws, and LTD) with full automation.
Every selection is tracked publicly. You can view the complete history before subscribing.
Why Lay Away Teams?
Home advantage is real. Across European leagues, home teams win roughly 45% of matches, draws occur 25-27%, and away teams win only 28-30%. Yet away team odds are often priced closer to 33% implied probability.
Our Betfair football lays target away teams where:
- The home team has strong home form
- The away team struggles on the road
- Historical head-to-heads favour the home side
- The away price offers genuine lay value
Win on 2 of 3 Outcomes
This is what makes football lay betting powerful:
You win if: Home team wins ✓ OR match draws ✓
You lose if: Away team wins ✗
Compare to backing the home team outright – you only win on one outcome. Lay away team tips give you two chances, which translates to higher strike rates (typically 65-75%).
The trade-off: individual profits are smaller because you're paying out at lay odds when you win. But the consistency can make for smoother bankroll growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What strike rate should I expect?
Typically 65-75%. You're winning on 2 of 3 outcomes (home win or draw), so the strike rate is naturally high. Check our public records for current figures.
Do I need a Betfair account?
Yes. Lay betting requires Betfair Exchange – you can't lay with traditional bookmakers.
What's my maximum loss per bet?
Your liability, which you set before the match. If laying at odds of 3.0 with £10 stake, your liability is £20. The away team needs to win for you to lose this amount.
Can I get Footy Lays on its own?
Footy Lays is only available as part of the Footy Engine bundle. For £30/month you get all three football systems plus automation – better value than any single service.
Which leagues do you cover?
Major European leagues with good Betfair liquidity – Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, plus Championship and selected other fixtures.
