SUPERLAYS - 2018

Gary Still
2018 January 03 00:31:19 
Here is the lay thread for 2018. State your lay (eg MR7 #6) and reasons if possible. Specify a maximum lay price if you wish.

The Betfair SP lay price determines the type of lay:
SUPERLAYS are under $3 and bear $1,000 risk.
Ordinary Lays are over $3 and bear $500 risk.
Chicken Lays are over $10 and bear $0 risk.

Below are the results for the past three years. Abraham Froman and Racing2Win have been the Superlaying champions for 2016 and 2017 respectively, whilst Squid69 has been runner up with profits for three years in a row.

The Superlay thread yielded a profit of $7,989 in the 2017 year. Since its inception in 2015, Superlayers collectively have yielded a remarkable net profit of $2,929! The biggest money spinners over the three years have been: 

Squid69     +$3,030 (played three years) 

Abe Froman  +$2,856 (played one year only)

Racing2Win  +$2,578 (played two years)

I think that was pretty courageous Imaj eel. I like to see people have a go and back their judgment.

I was given some really good advice some time ago that you might like to consider.

The Betfair market is a brilliant indicator. There is some very shrewd money with both professionals and bookmakers either arbing or laying off. Watch the last ten minutes and you will see where the smart money is going.

If laying for a place, only lay when you can lay at least three for under 5/4.

When laying the favourite, if it is favourite on Betfair there is informed money there. If you lay, use the stake to back it for a place. If it gets rolled you have the stake plus a free place bet. If it wins, you have reduced the liability dramatically. This certainly helps the bottom line when you go through the runs of laying winners. Trust me, they come and they hurt.

Have a happy new year.

MR5 #11 Oceanex, One win on a heavy at the provicials in maiden class, not really what is needed here.

Possibly a horse of the future, but I don't feel that it is. Will either win, and make me look foolish, or not run a place.

Gary I would like to lay this horse to run out of the placings.

Happy New Year, and good punting to all

Gary Still

Imajeel's lay, Oceanex was not travelling well and traded up to $19 on Betfair as they rounded the turn. It just got there in a desperate surge to the line and looked a spent force. No one should be critical of the chance you took, Imajeel.

Mantank scored one of his two lays, but sadly finished in the red for the year.

The Superlayers this years did not perform as well as Superlayers of past years and as a result, all profits from past seasons evaporated in the final month of betting.

Congratulations to Imajeel for winning the Superlayers 2018 comp and achieving a profit for two consective years. A commendation to Mantank for taking it right up to Imajeel in the final week. It was a shocker for both Deadant and RedBaron, whilst Squid's single lay was to lay the best horse in the world, and was looking a distinct possibility for a $17,000 collect, until the last few hops.

Well done Imajeel! 2018 is your year! If the comp resumes, I hope you return to defend your title, because no other champion has yet done so. You took great risks and played hard right to the very end. Worthy winners never quit!

Bad luck Mantank. So close to nailing both of them. Apart from Imajeel, I note that you too, have been a good supporter of the Superlay series.

You won $248 on Mastering (Ordinary lay - SP $3.02), but lost $1,000 on Cadogan (SP $2.50). Net loss of $752.

Welcome to the Chernobyl of the forum.

You have really got this thread humming along Gary.

Whose turn is it next to amuse us all with another train wreck. Why don't you have a go? You can base your selection(s) on some of L. Rex's ratings.

You have to be able to cop a few losses from time to time to win at the laying game.

Can't find any syd/ mel short ones, Gary [superlays]. If I can rustle up a couple over the next few days, I will try to help the thread stay alive.

Good punting and a Merry Xmas to you and yours.

Gary Still

2018 December 21 22:10:32

It's not your fault Imajeel!

If a lay doesn't stand out, then don't lay it. I think you are currently in surplus over the three years you have played, so please don't jeopardise that.

The Groupies and Tod's tipping threads are as busy as five dollar hookers, but apart from you, the Superlay series has failed to sustain the interest of its participants.

Running it for only four months of the year has probably not helped. But the reality is that laying is not what most punters do and there is no point in running a comp where there is little or no demand for it.

Cheers

Mantank

Well Gary, it was you that punted Khap and I from your thread. I would have thought that perhaps you or someone from Team Dunderhead would have stepped up with all their great knowledge.

If you care to go over to Gooberlays today I will give you two to invest your hard earned on.

In the interim, why don't you just rename this thread "Superlaughs", the Baron certainly gave us all just that when he nominated those three absolute grenades before his tearful exit.

Gary Still

2018 December 22 09:06:14

The forum wants to talk about winners (not whiners). Superlays can only ever attract a small sector of the punting fraternity.

Gooberlays was created as a personal bathroom for you and Khap, so you can constantly gaze at yourselves in the mirror. Enjoy the self adulation, talking to yourselves and each other about all your bullshit lays. You know, the ones where a lay is wrong and you miraculously trade out of it, and then when a lay is right, you make a king's fortune.

I will most definitely not be accessing your little dreamworld thread!

gladys

2018 December 22 13:15:36

Thanks for all your kind words at Christmas Gary.

Is there any chance of making the bathroom a bit bigger. It seems like all your mates like to drop in on a regular basis, you included.

gladys

2018 December 12 09:08:56

I don't think you would understand Loges, but everyone who lays horses has runs when a few get up. It's a bit like punting, sometimes you can back a few winners on the trot.

What counts is the overall performance for the week, month and year.

Baron came in, full of himself like all of Team Dunderhead, took on wrong priced horses and it was just a disaster waiting to happen. There was no strategy as like the rest of your Team, he just didn't understand percentages.

What is an "imaginary troll" Is that one that is not really there? Am I just a figment of your imagination?

With two Saturdays plus public holidays remaining in 2018, its not too late to catch Imajeel, folks.

So many questions to be answered...

1. Will Imajeel become the winner of Superlays - 2018?
2. Will the Superlayers finish in the black for 2018?
3. Will any of the former champion superlayers return for one more crack?
4. Will apathy spell the end of the Superlay series?

Stay tuned..

MR6 #8 Fifty Stars.

Going from restricted BM races to G3. Three of the top four have Group winning form and overall class stronger than this horse. Plus he is yet to race beyond 1400 metres, so if he can be laid at $3.50 or less, he should be.

Listed as $2.50 chance on this site on Fri night.

Good luck all

Not lays, but 2 in Sydney to not get carried away with..

SR1 Roheryn, the #2 meets him 5kg better than last meeting.

SR8 Seasons will struggle in this field. Posted at $2.30 in todays daily telegraph, but likely to start longer, and he should.

You have been told redbaron. Once you enter this thread you are under the direction and rulings of Gary. Don't dare pick a lay that ends up losing only because it was "unlucky". You will get it all guns blazing and told you were lucky, because it was unlucky.

Obviously there is a limit too, on the number of lays, one can have in a day. Imagine the bookmakers and TAB's telling punters they can have 3 only bets a day.

We are certainly in the "centre of no reason".

Laying two at Flemington, might not be a good idea, but they are the only two "shorts" I can find. AAP prices of $2.20 and $2.10 as at 6.00pm on Fri.

MR2 Lucky for All - Class jump will be a test for him.

MR8 Blair House - Aussie form is at Caulfield so far. I think the Flem straight will be too strong for him and that Latrobe, Shillelagh, and Extra Brut will cause him problems.

Good luck all

Gary, would you be so kind as to include my lays delivered on Khrapper's two threads?

They were Yucatan in the Cup along with Amphritrite and Veery Eleegant in the Oaks. There were 3 others as well, but they would'nt qualify (not many below $10 in a Cup field!)

Mantank,

As much as I'd like to, I can't. Had the lays backfired, they would NOT have been included in your results. Only lays posted in this thread are counted.

I wish you had nominated them on this thread! I was wondering why you hadn't.

Gary Still

First try for Mantank this year and well done. Not a superlay, but a handy profit which puts you in the black and on the board.

Imajeel, is that you in my Superlay payout queue again?! You’re a fearless superlayer who is consistently taking on the shorts. Can you keep it up? Do you need to keep it up? Your only blemish so far is a small margin defeat a couple of weeks ago. Brilliant work.

Imajeel and Deadant as your lays were over $3, they qualified as ordinary lays (not superlays), meaning that only $500 could be risked on your choices. Well done Imajeel, you are showing consistency, while Deadant’s lay unfortunately backfired.

MR3 #2 Savatiano

Untried this dist. and track. Has to give 3kg to #6, who was only 0.2 of a length behind her at their last meeting. Also the #6 has track and dist. placings and there are others that also seem to me, to be stronger.

A good lay at any price less than $4.50.

Good luck all

Syd R4 #4 High Bridge,

Metrop form thru BrimhamRocks looks poor. Two wins prior were weak Sydney midweekers. The #2 horse has better English form.

A lay at $3.50 or less.

Luck to all

Imajeel and Squid69, the risks were worth taking as both of you came so close! The result was in doubt right up until the last few strides.

Squid your result would have been huge as the SP on Winx was $1.06 and would have resulted in a $17,000 profit! You were both right in your assessment of risks, but unfortunately have nothing to show for your good work.

Imajeel you are still showing a surplus and with so few competitors at this point, you are on top of the ladder. Your results are below. Great effort guys.

Nothing has changed! When Khap lays them, double your win stake on them.

Cheers, Loges.

2018 October 08 04:31:06

I am sure Gary is impressed that Loges and WCF have changed the theme of this thread and made it all about me. That was always going to happen and in they pounced on cue. WCF no class and no brains and never provides a tip to back or lay pre race. Never has and never will. I do, even if it is sometimes just to get a reaction.

WCF, for over 2 decades now I would turnover more on gambling each week than you will ever collect from your dole queue in a year, so don't get yourself too excited about my tips on here.

worker collective farmer

2018 October 07 20:00:10

Yet again Khrapper shows himself to be the worst tipster, least knowledgeable poster and the person with the least class on here.

Yet again Winx was amazing.

squid69

2018 October 06 15:10:48

Well, that was one of her better wins. The best horse in the world had to pull out all stops, but she showed her absolute class.

I would have liked to see Williams on Kings Will Dream go outside the leader to get more clear room, tried one of his “pretty”rides but it didn’t cost the win. Caufield Cup is his for the taking.

I tip my hat to the great mare. We’ll never see another like her.

I am going to do the unthinkable.

MR5 - 2 - Winx

While this seems to be really dumb, she did look in a little trouble briefly last time (watch the video of Bruce McAvaney watching the race, he thought so too). She is a year older, first start back the Melbourne way.

I really think Kings Will Dream will give her one hell of a race. He has been so very impressive each start this campaign, with a couple of chequered passages.

Craig Williams on, up to 2,000m. Both positives. Slightly smaller field too. D K Weir - say no more. Humidor was the horse to push her closest of late, and Kings Will Dream is going almost as well as he was last year.

I hope it doesn’t happen, but this is the horse who could do it.

Preparing for egg on face....

Gary Still

2018 October 05 17:54:34

Squid, I can't see why you would have egg on face for nominating a monster lay!

Yes, she did appear to be in trouble last start! But she also seemed to be in trouble against Humidor in the Cox Plate, seemed to be conceding too much ground when trying to run down Red Excitement, and of course the day she bombed the start when she caught the leader on the wire.

Hope you're wrong, but thanks for playing hard and good luck.

Khaptingly

2018 October 05 20:05:04

I will also name Winx as a Lay at Flemington on 6 Oct 2018.

I was contemplating this Lay selection today and decided to go ahead, then I noticed Squid has done the same. I am not just going along with his choice, and being a copy cat. I have my own reasons and feelings on this selection and other racing matters. Many of which have been documented over the years, as you all know.

However, I will say it can hardly be egg on the face if it wins at $1.15


Gary Still

2018 October 06 09:17:17

Khap, I told Squid there would be no egg on his face if Winx wins. You copied his tip and then you mocked my reasoning as an escape.

You have repeatedly said that you are not interested in this thread "I don't care for your silly laying comps Gary. I will name lays when I want and it not relevant to me what comp result you want to play with. I don't have to give reasons either."

I'm pretty sure I started this comp because of you. I would hate to see it end, because of you! I make this decision reluctantly, but to minimise the chances of future abuses, I have to rule this way.

You are out of this competition this year and all future years.

I suggest you continue posting your lays, or Khrapperlays on your "Todays Lay", or "Lay this" threads and stay away from here. Nothing personal.

Gary Still.

PS. Gee that felt good.

Khaptingly

2018 October 06 10:37:29

My Lays today are

Melbourne Race 5 Winx
Melbourne Race 7 Avillius

Gary Still

2018 October 06 10:55:56

Not interested Khap. I gave you four years to put up or shut up. Post them on your own threads as you usually do.

You are being mischievous and are no longer an allowed player on the Superlays thread, but I may be starting a comp called Supergutless, for which you would qualify.

Sat 6/10 Flem race 7 Avilius.

Goes up 2.5 k
Goes to Flem first time
Goes to 2500m first time
Meets a large group of battle hard true stayers, 9 of which have 2 or more wins at 2400m and further.

I believe the distance, weight, and field quality mean that he is at best a 7/1 chance, and should be laid at any price less than 11/4, ie 5/2 or less and he is a serious lay.

I will take my winnings from Tequila Time and lay:

MR8 #1 Iconoclasm; currently at $2.20.

MV worries me. Big horse, big stride. So does the 61.5kg. But I liked the second horses run last time they met.

Just a hunch really - 3yos can improve from run to run, so Im happy to back one of them to beat it.

Gary Still

2018 June 03 10:29:28

That's two successful superlays in a row. Nice work Goldmoss!

The comp hasn't resumed for 2018 yet, but everyone is welcome to do their trackwork here.

Gary Still

2018 August 04 01:03:22

Incredibly, the past three years have seen an overall profit.

I'm hoping that we can build on that, so good luck superlayers; we are now open for business!

worker collective farmer

2018 June 02 16:52:38

You laid Egg On Face?! The horse wins by 3 lengths running away. That so sums up your life, Khrapper.

If only you'd put some of the last 18 years into punting, rather than pointless Aussie bashing ....

Clip Clop. Clip Clop. ROFLMAO

Goldmoss

2018 May 18 22:57:41

Tequila Time - they are trying to strike while the iron is hot. A big afterthought. Back 200m. Only one of them on the up has to beat it. Lots of last start winners. Reckon its vulnerable at $2.60.

Gary Still

2018 January 04 10:57:46

Previous Superlay threads have not started until later in the year, so this thread will remain dormant, until I announce it as open.

Otherwise, I'd have to run this for an entire 12 months!

Just when I thought I might get a leg up on the field and tear away to an early lead, make them chase instead of playing catch up, lol.
