Lay Debutants

We had a question in yesterday about laying to liability, which was kindly answered by another reader (Martin).

I thought it would be a good idea to expand on that and to add some screenshots to show how to place these bets.

When you lay at Betfair SP you always lay to a fixed liability because that's how the Betfair SP bets work on the lay side. You input an amount that you are willing to risk and that is the amount that you will lose if the selection you have layed goes onto win.

The reasons we want to lay to a fixed liability are…

1. We limit the amount we can lose, however big the price.
2. We can lay at less than £2 (backers stake) so if we lay one at 100.0 we don't have to risk £198

However laying big ones does mean that we are making tiny returns sometimes, but they build up over time and losing days are infrequent.

The screenshot below shows how to place SP bets, click it to enlarge.
