Your bet would bring in 240 so you could sell it for £12 at those odds, alternatively you could sell £4 worth and keep 160 if it comes up.

Cheers, by sell you mean Lay I presume? Noticed he Eagled his last hole last night to go to -4. Just let it run I think for the sake of £4.

If I did £2.50 trixie (total £10) on a 8/13, 4/6 & 21/20 what would my maximum return be?

From Here I got a profit of £43.23

Edit: I did 21/10 not 21/20- Profit would be £27.49

Another betting and laying question :rolleyes:

Its easier to understand though if its based on your own betting.

Basically, I've £4( Billy Big Stakes, Eh!?) on Nick Watney, mainly just for interest. He is half way through his first round, and is -2.

I got him at 60.0 and he is now at 19 and able to lay at 19.5.

What kinda of money would I A) Have to put down to make some profit and B) What kind of profit could I look at?

I will not necessarily lay it but if I can make some dosh without the drama I probably will. Does the lowness of my intial stake dramatically effect the profit margins?

Sorry if these are silly questions. :(

Yours Sincerely.

If you want the same return either way, you just divide the odds you backed (60) by the odds you can lay (19.5) and multiply by the stake (£4). The odds have to be in decimal form for this.

(60/19.5)*4 = £12.31 , which means lay £12.31 @ 19.5

If he wins, you win (59*4) - (18.5*12.31) = £8.27

If he doesn't win, you win 12.31 - 4 = £8.31

The same either way, except for a few pence due to rounding.

Thanks for this. Decided in my wisdom to let it run with 3 shot lead going into final round. He was as low as 7/4 going off on final round.

We all know how that went.... :lol:

Quick question for those that know the bookies rules. I have Tevez to finish as top league goalscorer for Man City in a few lines and the bets were struck before Baliotelli signed and wasn't in the market. Will the original book stand?

I'm trying to withdraw funds from Betfair, and the card I want to withdraw the money onto isn't part of my account.

I can't add another card as I already have 3 (the maximum allowed) on my account. It doesn't allow me to 'un-reigister' the card(s) either, so how would I go about both unregistering a card and adding another?

Thanks.

Phone them.

A simple answer, but always the most effective one in my experience with betfair.

Yep, that's what I had to do when I went to un-register a card. It's a bit of a pain in the arse though Shakey, you need to make a deposit on your new card that matches your original deposit before you are able to withdraw any cash on it.
