Place..........12%
Exotics.......4.6%
Straight away, Layers stand out as 2nd last taking their share of the pie. Now given that for every lay bet there's a matched back bet, and then there's those that place back bets with bookies and totes only (not the exchange), but are the layers matching more money per head than backers?
A rough example: For every 20 backers are there are only 10 layers but turning over twice as much money?

the layers are higher than i expected.
they are basically the bookmakers.
compare it to you oncourse experience -few bookmakers - many punters.
but turnover the same.
