Just wondering where all you good folk fall in the big scheme of things regarding being a Backer or Layer.
I know there is a mixture of each who contribute here, even a few traders I suspect.
I think that I fall mostly into the Backer side of things, having been a punter for 30+ years.
Have tried the Lay side of things, albeit with a backers mindset in hindsight, and got a terrible flogging. (have you ever seen a bag of wheat fall off the back of a truck? well, that's what I looked like after about a month of laying).

Although I have started laying a few over the last couple of months with very pleasing results. The reason for the improved results does not come from any striking difference in selection method, but rather a different mindset.
To be fair though, I have stopped panic bets and blood rush type ones as well, which has helped.
Discipline, it seems is paramount.
Thoughts more than welcomed.
