Donkey Lays Review: Horse Racing Laying Tips Service

Donkey Lays is a horse racing tips service from Pro Betting Club that involves laying in both the win and place markets on Betfair.

The service has only been running for five months but has shown promising results, averaging 33 points profit per month.

In total, since September 2020 they have reported a massive 169.58 points profit. They have achieved a steady strike rate so far, with 90% for the win lays and 67% for the place lays.

The bets can be placed manually, or alternatively they can be loaded into a bot such as BF Bot Manager

The selections are uploaded to the members area each day before 12.00pm, but need to be checked just before the race starts to make sure the odds meet the requirements. This is where using a bot can come in handy, but it is not necessary.

We will be tracking results for the service over several months, using stakes of 1 point per lay with variable liability. Our starting bank is set at the recommended 100 points.

We finished our GolfBetsGold review with 32.6 points profit at an ROI of 43.8%, which meant our bank had increased by a healthy 32.6% overall. It's a pass!

Month One Results

The first month of our Donkey Lays review didn't go too well with £72.21 lost from the Win lays and £45.94 lost from the Place lays, adding up to a total loss of £118.15.

We had been using a bot to load the selections into each morning and then bets would be placed if they met the required criteria set by the tipster.

Month Three Results

In month three of our Donkey Lays review we lost £47.94 from the win bets and £114.75 from the place bets. The win bets had been going well but unfortunately, one of the lays won the race at 13/1 which was a real set back.

We made the decision to stop the place bets before reaching the end of the month as they had been struggling throughout and results were only getting worse. As the bot would not allow us to test the place bets in practice mode, we didn't want to lose any more money by carrying on.

Review Summary

It felt like a struggle throughout our Donkey Lays review, starting off with a loss for both the win and lay bets and then after recouping it, having the profit almost wiped out again several times after that.

The place lays never got going and had 3/3 losing months and despite the win bets making an overall profit of £127.91, it could easily go the other way with just one losing bet.

That is one of the problems with laying, particularly at BSP, as liabilities can be high and put your bank at risk.

As for the running of the service, there wasn't anything to complain about and tips were uploaded around the same each day. It would have been good to be able to have selections loaded automatically to the bot, but it wasn't too much hassle to do it manually.

To conclude, we cannot recommend following this service as the results just weren't good enough during our three month review and we were unable to make an overall profit.

    • It’s not totally clear, but this is what the advice says: “A Bank of 100 times your stake is recommended. In trials, neither of these banks has been challenged, however, you must always feel comfortable with your stake as betting on horses is unpredictable, and losing runs can and do occur from time to time.”

  1. Thanks for the quick response, i have two more questions: 1. Do you use two betting banks for this service, one for the win lay and the other for the place lay? 2. Do you recommend to reset your stake at the end of a losing month?

    I have purchased the donkey lays service since yesterday. Today was supposed to be my first betting day but unfortunately i couldn’t place a bet, because on betfair you need a minimum stake of 20 in order to lay the betfair starting price. So how is it possible that you are laying with a stake of 10????

    Regards,

    Lorenzo

    • Hi Lorenzo, This is taken from Betfair – “What is the minimum stake for an SP bet? The minimum stake for a back bet at SP is £2 (or the local currency equivalent). The minimum liability if laying is £10 (or the local currency equivalent).”

  3. How do you know the difference between a tip that’s for the win market and place market. Is it me or doesn’t the tipster make that distinction clear?

    Reply
    • You can find the instructions on the Donkey Lays member’s area page. I am automating them using the bot, so I just have to enter the selections into the win and place strategies and it takes care of everything for me.

  4. I’m not sure why my previous comment didn’t show, and I can’t be bothered to write it again as it was quite long.

    Put simply though I started Donkey Lays at the same time and have rather different results. Admittedly I place the best manually as close to the off as possible, but there are a lot of bets that I’ve placed where the price I got and the BSP are well below the maximum the system allows.

    Also, the rule is that if it qualifies for a place bet it will also qualify for a win bet, yet in each of the 3 months you have a different number of place bets to win bets.

    Any idea what might be causing these discrepancies?

    • Hi Jon,

      I am really not sure about this. All I did was follow the instructions from the set up guide so that the bot would run the systems automatically.

      I can’t see anything wrong with my settings compared to those advised.

  5. For anyone who goes ahead with Donkey Lays, worth noting that the site which proofs the results does not currently do so according to the rules the tipster has layed down. Strongly urge caution and suggest a 1 month initial trial so you can find out what exactly the rules are and then filter the proofed results so they are accurate to determine whether or not you wish to join the service for a longer period.

    Communication from both proofing site and tipster platform are non-existent in response to a query I have made regarding this issue 3 times over a 3 week period.
