[rquote=2513319&tid=145169&author=eggdavid]well, i hope i did that right -- i placed a £50 bet that Lisa will leave on 1.07 odds but my account still shows i have £46.50 left in my wallet -- i only put in £50, so why? the 'liability' (whatever the **** that is) of the bet was £3.50, but why hasnt the money in my wallet gone down much lower?

im sure there are people on this forum who use this thing to bet and can explain this[/rquote]i see what you mean now. betfair is not a bookies what you are doing is betting against another member of the public, what you have done is put £50 on lisa going where as not enough people are laying bets that lisa will stay the odds 1.07 are not worth the bet you have to put £14 to win £1 back LOL put £50 on win £3
