Lay bet question - Brazil NOT to win the world cup - Please help

Are you being serious?

Yes, please help - I'm only using Brazil as an example though, thank you

You win if brazil lose in semi-final or final.

Thank you MRGRUMPY1 you've put my mind at rest as I layed this kind of 'Lay' bet (NOT TO WIN THE WORLD CUP)a few days ago, then started to worry that I had got it wrong.

P.S your user name is Teriffying but you're kind and helpful really

No, you have got it wrong.  If you lay brazil not to win the world cup, you want them to win the world cup.

- - = +

ye thats right if i Lay it means im taking bets on "Brazil not to win the world cup"  What odds did you get? that willo explain it.

there wouldnt be a bet Brazil not to win the world cup bet and lay?? itd be to win the world cup. im confused

but if there was a bet like this you would need brazil to win the world cup.

why has betfair targeted to the sub classes,ffs

Thank you for your comments everyone.

Thanks to MRGRUMPY1 helping me with the answer I'm all sorted. But for those of you who have also commented can I clarify as some of you are right I could have written the question better.

I wanted to bet 'LAY' on a team 'to win the world cup'. Meaning: I didn't think they would win the world cup and if they didn't, I would win the bet. The team in my example (Brazil) was not the team I had LAY bet on - Brazil was only used as an example.

My worry was, does it make any difference if the team lose in the quater final, semi final or final - would I win the bet.

Thank you
