Tom Segal (Pricewise) + Betfair = Free Bets

Tom Segal is a punter's dream and a layer's nightmare. This year his tips in the RacingPost have dented bookies' bank balances. He seems to have started to follow trends a lot more this year as well to devastating effect and today I like the look of all 4 of his bets. He is a shrewd punter and knows what he is talking about. His phenomenal success means that punters follow him in masses and he moves markets. What does this mean? This means that, if you back his tips on Betfair early enough, you can lay it off later once people have woken up. What does this mean? This means, you essentially remove all your liability but still win if the horse wins. The larger the difference between your backing price and laying price, and the larger your stakes, the larger your free bet. It works better with his larger priced tips.


You could take it further and lay more than you backed so that you make money on any outcome! Easy. You just need to get on early :)


e.g. Segal tipped up Treacle for the National at 33/1. I managed to back it at 28/1 and lay it at 20/1, so if he wins I'll win £496.00. If he loses, I lose nothing :)
