Like an idiot I have placed a bet whilst distracted.
I've backed a horse in the TO BE PLACED market at odds : 2.12
I placed £95.00 on it! (don't ask)
How do I trade out of this please?

No different from any other market, lay it.

By:
lay at the same price for the same amount of money or at the current price, either winning or losing a few pounds. Go to more options and click 'WHAT IF' to get the required green or red

The horse is currently now : 2.18 TO BACK and 2.24 TO LAY
What would you do in this situation? Thanks. |

trade out to a level loss, I would.

Agree with 1.01 Layer. Take the small loss and save your heart.

Sorry about this. I want to learn how to trade, so this may well be a blessing in disguise.
This trading lark scares me to death... So if I enter: 2.12 as my lay odds, will it get matched straight away? |

By:
THe pink price is the laying price

I know that yeah lol
So, if I take the current lay price of 2.22 I will lose £9.46 Does that sound right? |
|
By:
TLK , you have been on here for almost 8 years and should know this by now , but if you still are insecure , just put in a lay of £ 2 at 2.12 and see what happen.

Yes but you can juggle the amount so you are - £ 4.00 odd either way.

If you use the "what if" with google chrome, beware incorrect figures btw

Thank you Eddie The Eagle.
That's what I've ended up doing. Yes, I've been here about 8 years (didn't know it was that long!) but I've never traded before. Simply because it confuses me. I've just had a crash course from you lot as it was panic stations time. I realise I need to learn this as it seems every body who knows what they're doing on betfair - knows how to do it. Thanks all. |
