    "Back" means you support them and think it will happen.

    i.e. I back that horse to win the race. Or I back Marquez over Mayweather.

    I haven't even heard "lay" to be honest with you.

    I'll post a screen of the page that got me wondering, maybe that will make things more clear.

    Fenster will know the answer, he lives at the bookies. Wait until he sees the page.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
