often found myself laying to any old price just to get matched & this is a very bad habit to get into, value is the key no matter which side of the market you are on

Yip, agree with both the above, trying to lay horses taught me so much about the markets, and what horses are generally value, and which are poor value. I actually abandoned laying as although I was successful, it really didnt suit my punting, hated laying horses that won, just really did my head in!
However what I learnt from it has comepletely turned my win betting around.
Spending some time laying horses was perhaps teh most valuable punting lesson I have ever had. Dont do it on paper either, put $100 into a BF account and do it for real, the difference between paper trading and real money trading on BF can be quite significant.
