Getting started

Here at LayBack4Fun we are covering 3 areas and as our name suggests it is Laying (betting not to win), Backing (betting to win or get placed) and Fun betting (cheap multiple bets without complications).

We will do our utmost to avoid any jargon when a simple explanation can be used but there will be instances where it can’t be avoided. Jargon busters are always on hand.
You will probably find that you begin to pick up snippets as you go but learning the language of racing is not one of the things that should stop you from enjoying it.

Costs should be kept to a minimum. You don’t need software, masses of reading material or a massive source of funds to get going. There is a lot out there to help you that costs absolutely nothing.

To get started you don’t need to have an account with anyone to do the backing or fun bets but you will for laying as this can only done at Betting Exchanges. 
The account providers we refer on this site pay us a commission for anyone visitors who open an account.

If you are new to racing and betting or have only ever occasionally dabbled, we strongly recommend you have a look through the Is this right for You? page.

Take some time out to have a wander around the Exchanges and Tote sites, they can be a bit daunting but worth the effort to get accustomed to their layout and see what's on offer.

If you are not sure about any part of what we cover or have questions on anything we have missed, then by all means drop us a line.
