Neil Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 A fairly unscientific, short answer is you're unlikely to make money at this stage. Have a look on Betfair perhaps for the lay price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Apologies for another post on backing/laying and my stupidity on this, but it's the first time I have actually used betfair so I haven't quite got my head around it. I put £2 on Colombia to win the WC at 60-1 and £2 on Chile to win at 50-1 in the expectation that they were massively overpriced and their odds would come down. I think their odds are now at 25-1 or something around there. Put simply, how do I make any money out of these bets? I appreciate that isn't going to be very much.. You can mess around with it on Betfair to see what you would get. Click the blue box on Columbia in the World cup winners market. (Blue is the back,pink is the lay) Enter £2 and adjust the odds from the current ones to what you backed at (60/1 but will have to be 61.0 as Betfair only uses decimal) Then click the pink box on Columbia in the same market,keep the odds as they are and just enter random amounts of money and you will see the profit or loss change in the whole market.Remember Betfair takes a 5% commission which you can also have included to your figures in options. This should get you familiar to how everything works. Just make sure you don't hit return on your keyboard or your bets will be submitted. (Won't matter if you have an un-funded account though as it'll just get cancelled) Seems quite a brainfuck at first but worth learning as it can be quite profitable once you know where to look for odds movement.

Anderson Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 You'd get about £9 if you lay off your potential winnings from both bets. Can't remember how it works though, think you'd have to put up the £220 as a stake and wait until they're knocked out to be paid out though. Not really worth doing.
