Perhaps if your laying to lose an amount it would work ok.

For example

5000/SR = 52 per 1 unit. So to lay to lose $100 you would need at least 5200 bank.


yes that's fair enough if you lost on the first bet - but with you laying 50 to 100 - it would be expected that you should have very few occurrences of losses - big drama when they did come up - but not too many times hopefully.

however don't forget the old rule - unless you have an edge it will end in tears - all yours.

by laying long shots you can put it off for while - but thats where it ends up - and that's a certainty..


any how each to their own -
cheers and good luck
