Click on the lay side, put in about £35 for the backers stake and see what it gives you as a liability, will leave you up a very small amount on one side and a few hundred on the other, hope this makes a little but of sense mate.

i need to go the toilet and don't know what to do..............
Report SmileyMiley April 26, 2010 1:16 PM BST
If I click on the lay side for £25 as well it's green as below
£3,167.60 £1,067.60

All other horses are
-£25.00 (red) £0.00 (green)

Does it mean that my fixed profit today is £1067.60 but I lose £25 if any of the others win?
Sorry to sound daft , but I don,t normally back then lay.

no should all be zero apart from the one you backed if you just want your £25 back
Report saddo April 26, 2010 1:17 PM BST
keep changing the steak until you are happy with both sides
Report SmileyMiley April 26, 2010 1:19 PM BST
But with the new lay price being so far under my matched back price, surely I can lock in good profit?

"lock in" ??????????????????
Report The Long Road Back.. April 26, 2010 1:20 PM BST
if you posted £25 on the lay side then then should all be blank.. I think...should get your money back and have a profit on the other side.
Im confused now.
Report Viagra Man April 26, 2010 1:20 PM BST
It should be 127.7 / 85 * £25 = £37.56
Report tambhoy5 April 26, 2010 1:22 PM BST
you dont get 42.7x£25 as you think

This is like trying to explain the off side rule to my granny.

You cannot lock in good prophet if it loses, with such a small steak, hth.
Report SmileyMiley April 26, 2010 1:26 PM BST
Ha Ha. So if I lay it for the same amount I backed it for, what happens win or lose? Do I lose or do I win? see my previous post re what it says next to every horse. Thanks for your help, it is appreciated.

Simply divide your total return (inc stake) by 85.. ans £37.56 as already posted by BJ and Viagra.
Report Viagra Man April 26, 2010 1:27 PM BST
Lay it for £37.56 at 85 and you'll win £12+
Report cooperman April 26, 2010 1:27 PM BST
Stick another £25 on @ 85 before all the value goes :D

lay it for a pony if it gets beat you get your stake back but if it wins you get the gold medal

10£ on a 102=£1000 profit.....lay £10@52=£500 liability...£500 left divided by£10 =£50 profit...i think.
