Laybotpro update......
Working in a betting office I am afforded the luxury of sitting in front of my laptop whilst watching all the days racing. Many people may consider this a dream job (and they're probably right) but dream job or not, it did enable me to keep a close eye on the Laybotpro yesterday and see how it performed 'LIVE'.
And I can report that it performed admirably.
As that bloke on the Ronseal ad put it; 'It does exactly what it says on the tin'.
The Laybotpro has many adjustable options including one that allows you to set how long before each race you want your bets placed. This can range from 10 seconds to 10 minutes. The default setting is 60 secs and this is what I used yesterday.
The Initial Stake option also lets you set a fixed amount to Lay each horse too.
But please be aware that this is a Lay Stake and if the horse wins you will lay the horse's odds at this stake (i.e. if your Initial Stake is £10 and the horse is laid at 5/1 you will lose £50 should the horse win.).
The Initial Stake is not your maximium bet exposure!
Exactly 1 minute before the off time of the race the Bot 'comes alive'and will attempt to place your wager. The races in which the min/max odds criteria are not met straightaway Laybotpro will display the current fluctuating odds until either the price is right and the bet is matched or the race is off and the bet is not placed.
Immediately the bet is matched it is displayed on the screen with the Horse Name,the Stake and the matched Odds. As your bets are placed throughout the day a running tally is kept in a Bot Wallet.
You can easily set your minimum (1.1 - 39.90) and maximum (1.5 - 39.90) Lay prices to custom fit with whatever Laying system you are using.
I think this may be one area that could do with adjusting as the maximium (39.90) Lay odds may not be high enough to cater for some customers looking to lay big priced outsiders. Just a small point but one to be aware of.
That said, anybody who lays Horses or Greyhounds to pre-set stakes and odds will find this an invaluable tool for those times you can't be at your computer to place your bets.

I'll be back again later with more updates on the Laybotpro as I put a few of it's other features to the test.
------------------
Thankfully, today saw the end of the Newmarket July meeting where about the only thing I got right all week was the fact that the racing their is impossible.
With the going now riding as heavy I don't suppose York will be much easier either but I do like a challenge and tomorrows John Smith Magnet Cup sure looks a challenge!
9 of the last 10 winners were aged 3 or 4 but with no 3-y-o's lining up this year I will concentrate solely on the 4-y-o's.
It may seem strange for a 1m 2f race to have a draw bias but very few horses have been able to overcome a high draw in this race, in fact 8 of the last 10 winners came out of a single figure stall.
Horses that didn't run at the Royal meeting have tended to do better in the Magnet Cup with 4 of the last 5 winners giving Ascot the swerve.
Richard Fahey, who has won the race twice in the last decade, runs 5 this year and on the trends Fishforcompliments comes out best of his but I am going to side with another outsider - PrinceForever.
He should handle the ground and with the Michael Jarvis yard in top form I'm hoping for a good run.
Selection: Prince Forever
------------------
Friday fun today comes from Belorussia and this story has been reported in most of the papers. It's Belarus's top ref whose pre-game warm up seems to have consisted of downing a bottle of Vodka, classic......
------------------
Finally, congratulations to Tom Dascombe for breaking his Group race duck in yesterdays July Stakes. Just to prove that it wasn't a fluke he followed it up with another Group 2 race 24 hours later bagging himself a big 2-y-o double and stamping himself as a trainer going places.
Tom Dascombe was one of Matt's trainers to follow this season and with Classic Blade and Firth of Fifth it looks like he has a couple of nice horses to further advertise his training skills. The first of many group winners we think...
I'll be back tomorrow with the latest 'bot news,
