Lay The Draw is one of the most famous Betfair football trading strategies ever.

But is LTD still worth trading in 2026?

In this podcast, I break down how the strategy works, where traders usually go wrong, and what the data says when you actually test it properly.

We cover:

  •  How Lay The Draw works 
  •  The type of matches that suit LTD 
  •  Entry and exit points 
  •  What happens if the game stays 0-0 
  •  The risks of late goals and stop losses 
  •  How to backtest LTD properly 
  •  Whether the strategy still has an edge in 2026 

The big mistake with LTD is thinking you can just find a short-priced favourite, lay the draw and hope for a goal.

That is not enough.

The edge comes from finding the right matches, understanding the risk and knowing exactly when you are getting out.

If you want to test your own Lay The Draw strategy before risking real money, you can use the Betfair Trading Community football backtesting software.
