Welcome to the grand finale of the 2017 Betting System Oscar awards ceremony!Today, I’m handing out the big one… “Overall Winner”. Rather than simply adding up all the votes cast so far and awarding this Oscar to the most popular category winner, I specifically asked everyone, “What is your overall favourite commercially available betting product or service?“ Lucy
Welcome back to the 2017 awards ceremony!Today, I’m handing out the Betting System Oscar for “Best Football Service”.The first Oscars saw “Total Football Trading” scoop this award in 2012. “Betgreen” won in 2013 and then “Goal Profits” landed the most votes in 2014. The following year, 2015, was a win for “Pre-Match Trading” before “Goal
Very broadly speaking, there are trials you love and trials you hate. And the second category can break your heart. Sometimes I find myself almost praying for a last-minute upturn, in spite of one setback after another – as I still believe that the service provider may be on to something.

Hope springs eternal here at Lay Back. It has to, if I’m to keep kicking off new trials! IWinSoccerBets is a case in point. I really got excited about this promising new service and wrote a breathless introductory piece explaining why. And sure enough, initial results appeared to reward my enthusiasm, with the first couple of
It has often struck me that most of the systems that we test here at Lay Back have been developed by one or two people as a maximum.Indeed, I’d go so far as to say there is something touchingly amateurish about the vast majority of betting systems providers. Many services really just start out as one punter’s
My 2016 Betting Oscars have celebrated a mix of exciting new services and old established favourites.Most importantly, they’ve given Lay Back readers the chance to have their say about the betting services that, for them, truly hit the spot. For it is they who have voted for the products that have achieved success in this year’s virtual
