Go to options to the top right of the market and tick the 'What if' box.
You can then click the lay button of your selection and when entering the lay figure will see a green figure under each potential outcome. Adjust the lay amount to get equal green. |

yep sort of done that but for example I will win £450 if he wins so looking to lay at 9 so if I layed £10 at 9 if he wins I obviously pay £90 and win 360 but if he doesnt win?

Just adjust your lay figure so the green number below each player is an equal sum?

youve backed him at 9/2 what are his odds now ? obviously he has to be LESS than those odds for you to be talking about "laying2 off ?? |
|
By:
"laying" off ^
|
|
By:
Yeah good point. You cant back at 9/2 then lay at 8/1 and get all green.
|
|
By:
If you've backed him at 9/2, you can't guarantee a profit by laying him at 9.
Have I been hooked? |
|
By:
sorry yes thats what I meant? wrong figure sorry guys
|
|
By:
roughly 66£ at 4 would even me out
am I silly in asking who would take him at 4 now? |
|
By:
hes available to back at 9 now
|
|
By:
You're not gonna get a lay at 4.0 if they're trading at 9.0
|
|
By:
yep birchola obviously need him to be going well at low odds to make a profit
|
|
By:
You can leave your bet up then and hope it gets matched?
|

InIstanbulWeWonIt5Times, one of the quickest ways is simply to divide your winning returns by the lower lay odds, for example, your back bet of £110 is on at 5.5 (9/2) then it returns £550 inc your stake. if 5.0 (4/1) becomes available or you want to offer it then £550 divided by 5.0 = £110..........lay at 5.0 for £110 and you win (green up) £10 whatever the result
