That's backers talk not layers talk. 
In my opinion the sweet spot for laying is in the range roughly 6.00 to 11.00. Betfair account balance agrees too. Michaelg is having quite a bit of success in this area, as I have had for about the last 18 months. My current test lay method in "Pixies Pix" has an average BAT SP of about 7.70. and is showing a nice profit. I don't really understand why some layers shy away from these horses. You will have some accidents, but not anywhere near as many as the shorter priced lays.
Each to their own I guess.
EDIT: Just read Michaels latest "Lay The Fave" post. May take back that statement about his success with the longer priced ones. Tough luck Michael.
