In order to win on live betting, don’t place many in-play bets at the same time. Focus on one or two, watch carefully and wait for the right moment to bet. If you have many in-play bets at your slip, you lose the right momentum. Your bet is a matter of luck rather than capability.
Again, if the horse comes in first or second, you will not win any more money than if the horse finishes third. This is the safest of the straight bets but also offers the smallest return.

With a lay bet, you are effectively backing something not to occur. If you were to lay a horse in a race, then you would be backing it not to win. If you were to lay a football team then you would be backing it not to win. So yes, lay bets are the direct opposite of back bets.
If you bet $2 to win on each of those horses in every race you will have bet a total of $10. … You will need to win 2 out of 5 races to show a profit. By being right 40% of the time you can make money betting on 2:1 shots at the racetrack. Of course things don’t always line up that simply in the real world.
So now you know the answer. Bookmakers certainly do not prefer favourites to win! They may pretend they don’t like it when 5000-1 shots win, but they’re secretly delighted. It’s favourites winning that they really hate.
Favourites in Football
Some say yes, some say no and some say both. If you were hoping that a simple “always bet on the favourite” strategy was your route to profit, then think again. … Betting on the favourite is rarely a bad bet. Shorter priced favourites are often better value than longer priced ones.
