DOB, TROB, HDOB and other bet types explained

These are different trading strategies, all included in HR BACK2LAY. They consist of placing a back bet before the race at the current odds (or SP) and then placing a lay bet at lower odds. The odds of the lay bet will depend on the strategy used.

Trading strategies explained:

  • DOB
    It is the best known in the betting world. DOB literally means Double or Bust. This is an even money bet. You back a horse before the off then you lay it at half-price with a double stake with the aim of having it matched inplay.
    e.g. BACK £10 @5.0 – LAY £20 @2.5
    If the two bets are matched, you win your initial stake, if the lay bet is unmatched, you lose your initial stake.
  • TROB
    It is like a double DOB. This is an 2/1 bet. You back a horse before the off then you lay it at one third-price with a treble stake with the aim of having it matched inplay.
    e.g. BACK £10 @5.0 – LAY £30.30 @1.65
    If the two bets are matched, you win twice your initial stake, if the lay bet is unmatched, you lose your initial stake.
  • HDOB
    It is like a half-DOB. This is an 1/3 bet. You back a horse before the off then you lay it at three quarter of price with a half stake with the aim of having it matched inplay.
    e.g. BACK £10 @5.0 – LAY £13.33 @3.75
    If the two bets are matched, you win a third of your initial stake, if the lay bet is unmatched, you lose your initial stake.
