Hi Guys
Ive had a LAY bet tonight on United NOT to win. I dont really get it.
The backer's odds are 4
The backer's stake is £21.00
My Liability is £63
If the bet doesnt come in, is the MAX I lose £63????
Help!!

Yes, if MU win, you lose £63.
If it's a draw or MC win, you win £21. In effect you've acted as the bookie offering 3/1 (BF 4.0) about a MU win, and he's staked £21. |

Do I get the stake back? For example, If MU DONT win, do I get the £21 PLUS my £63 - leaving me with £84 in total?

How can that be?
I lay £63 on Utd NOT to win and they DONT win, but I lose the £63 but win the £21, leaving me £42 down on a bet I win? Im really confused. |

Your offering your opposite number £63 f your WRONG and winning £21 if your RIGHT

By:
you wont lose the 63, you will get the 21 and you wont be paying out the liability of 63 so that will be added bk to your bank....

I would seriously question the responsibility, of laying to a liability as high as £63, when you
don't even understand how the business works! Have you really only been on here for four days? You should be on minimum stakes/liability (£2 or less if you can work that out) until you get the business sorted out! |
