Trading Pre-Race vs In-Play: Which One is Best for You?

Lightspeed Stats Horse Racing

Should you focus on trading before the race goes off… or wait until the action unfolds in-play?

In this episode, I break down the pros and cons of both styles of horse racing trading on Betfair.

You’ll discover:

• Why pre-race trading can feel calmer and more controlled
• The big opportunities (and big risks) that come with in-play trading
• How different trader personalities suit different approaches
• A real-world example showing how both methods work in the same race

By the end, you’ll know which style of trading is a better fit for you — and how to avoid the common mistakes that catch beginners out.
