Never layed nags before but question is?

If a horse is average $71 on local tote 5 mins to jump.
If I lay it @ $85/$90 for $20 will it get matched?

[Bhagwan]

It will if there a win bettors wishing to take up your price.

The UK market definitely would.

I guess it comes back to liquidity in the market.

However I think you will find that $85/$90 on a $71 shot a bit conservative; I've seen them as far out as $250/$500 on Betfair.
