Where's the .05 going?Becareful until you are sure you fully understand the site. Ask any other questions in here if you need.You know laying has higher liability and 'keep bets' etc?https://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/24990105/gap-between-best-back-and-lay-price?post_id=451165265#451165265Becareful until you are sure you fully understand the site.

There are people willing to lay at 3.95.https://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/24990105/gap-between-best-back-and-lay-price?post_id=451153949#451153949So actually, there is no-one willing to lay at 4.

This is then displayed on the lay side, as you will be laying at 4 if you select this.If you try to back at 4https://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/24990105/gap-between-best-back-and-lay-price?post_id=451153873#451153873It's because it's the other way around like HooRoo said.'The best lay' is actually people like you trying to back at 4.

Again looking at the same market, the best back is 3.95, the best lay is 4.I submit a back at 4 that goes unmatched. But why is it going unmatched?

Lay prices are really backers.
