[rquote=2513573&tid=145169&author=eggdavid]so, looking at the screencap i posted above -- if lisa goes tonight, i'll get £3?[/rquote]no you have layed £50 on lisa staying if she stays you win £50 if lisa goes you lose £3.50

you bet that she would not go in my eyes its a good bet you only lose £3.50 if she goes where if she stays you pocket £50

yeah that doesnt sound so bad

im confused at how i acidentally bet that she stays though, im sure the lay button said that i was going to be betting on her getting kicked out :shrug:

No if she goes you lose 3.50 red equals lose green = win

i would be happy to believe that you will lose 3.50 and win 50 if someone else goes as thats what the figures in the cap show.

And i'm sorry to complicate things but it says you have layed 50 quid in the pink bet slip to the right and that would mean you lose your stake 50 quid plus a further 3.50

but it does not show this in the figures next to the names

No,thats the 'backers' 50 quid added to his 'imaginary'wallet.So if Lisa goes he will payout £53.50.
If she stays the whole £53.50 will move to his 'real' wallet.The 46.50 is ok.

Arr ok i am worrying for nothing, sorry for the confusion

Btw that is not a bad bet at all in that case, well worth the punt.

so, just to summarise -- if lisa goes tonight, i lose 3.50 -- if anybody BUT lisa goes tonight, i win 53.50 which will be added to the 46.50 in my account?

just double checking, theres been a few conflicting views in this thread :laugh:

not a bad bet, id rather risk 3.50 to win £50 than risk £50 to make £3 and have david walk its a good chance he will? at the end of the day there is no point risking £50 to make so little money.

I think the op will be £50 up at 10.35pm:whistle:

Not on BB but i'm doing ok on the tennis.:hello:

Seems your in an ok position


Just for my future reference, am i correct in thinking lads? that if he we're now to back for 50 quid if the back odds we're now 1.07 he would effectively be calling off the bet at no loss no gain

If the back odds we're 1.06 he would lose 0.50p regardless of outcome

[/rquote]Yes but BetFair would take there cut from his win part.So he would still lose.(pennies)

[rquote=2513808&tid=145169&author=eggdavid]btw have any of you lads also got bets on tonight?[/rquote]i put money on them all weeks ago

i put £10 on them all losing i.e what you have done lay bet

siavash to lose i get £40 if he wins i pay out £30
sophie to lose i get £45 if she wins i pay out £35
rodrigo to lose i get £45 if he wins i pay out £35
charlie to lose i get £140 if he wins i pay out £130

the most i can lose is on charlie = £130 if you look how much i win back from rod, sophie, siavash if charlie did win 40+45+45 = £130 i brake even

if charlie loses and lets say sophie wins i will get £140+40+45= £225 win-win or draw. my stake was £130

I tend to back the fav to win at low to mid odds, around 1.3 and it is truly amazing how often my back spurs on the underdog, and the odds u-turn

This years Aus open Verdasco V Nadal saw me backing Nadal at 1.3 then i lost my nerve and layed at 1.60 only to see the odds reverse, backed again at 1.30 and it reversed again.

I wont be making that mistake again by the time Nadal won i was 120 red on both sides

Using the same method in darts, especially in the early rounds seems to work as the players seem a lot more consistant and predictable
