I got smart today and layed two horses for a place on Betfair. I then backed both to win at around 2/1.
If both were unplaced I was laughing. If one won I got my stake back. It seemed too good to be true and it was. The damn things finished second and third, so all four of my bets lost.

I was also on Hannons horse which was favourite and beaten by the well backed outsider.....His second string. _________________ If at first you dont succeed..then skydiving isnt for you
I did something similar when I first started using betfair. I would lay a horse to win and back them in the place market, my thinking was that if it won then I'd limit some of the damage and that favourites had an above average chance of making the frame.
Needless to say I didn't make it onto the front page of the News of the World because I'd won £20 million in a fortnight
