I have the following bets on the 2010 f1 drivers championship. I have been backing and laying and prior to laying off some of my exposure I had a balance of 0 in my betfair account.
I now have a balance of 102.97 in my account. Could you explain how this figure has been calculated based on the below bets?
I can see a way they have got back to 102.97 but the logic doesn't quite make sense to me. Anything I'm missing?
BACKS (AVE ODDS, STAKE, PROFIT) Fernando Alonso 2.93 £77.31 £149.15 Sebastien Vettel 3.05 £7.94 £16.28 Lewis Hamilton 7.41 £37.25 £238.70
LAYS (AVE ODDS, BACKER'S STAKE, LIABILITY) Fernando Alonso 1.73 £123.00 £89.57
But if you had placed all the backs and only layed Alonso for around £20 backer's stake (at 1.73) then you'd have been £102/103 red on most of the field.
By laying Alonso for another £100 you would have got back to green on everyone, and your balance would increase.
You don't say in what order you placed the bets .But if you had placed all the backs and only layed Alonso for around £20 backer's stake (at 1.73) then you'd have been £102/103 red on most of the field.By laying Alonso for another £100 you would h
