    Trying to get to grips with lay betting
    Can anyone enlighten me please.
    Say a 10 runner race and I lay the fav at 7/4 for £10.00 what is my liability
    it the horse wins and what is my return if looses.

    Your liability will be £17.50 in this case. If it loses then you get £10 minus the commission which is around 5%. Think of it like you are the bookie and other people are betting with you.

    Best thing to do is go on betfair pick a race , click lay and put some figures in
    click lay in pink then play around with stakes without any cash in your account
    so you cant make a mistake
    it will say backers odds backers stakes and then your liability
    have a play around till you know what you are doing

    dont play with money in your account tho as its easy to hit wrong thing
