The snow falls, it ices over and the country comes to a standstill! Horse Racing at “All Weather” Tracks is abandoned – mainly for safety reasons. The football is hit badly too – with only a handful of games this weekend, but we have plenty of other markets to lay in. Golf, Rugby, Cricket … plus lots more, Laying isn’t confined to Horse Racing. Granted, the liquidity is much better, but we can still have a punt.

I have been testing a subscription lay service called The Sports Professor. It is based solely on U.S Sports and they have an excellent strike rate. We can also lay on European football of course. For suggested bets on these, I would advise asking Kevin, our football expert.

There is a little all weather action starting again, and I have analysed how the favourites fared in handicaps at these courses. More on Waiting for the Thaw !!!
