    I'm sure there is a way but I can't figure it out.
    Any ideas?

    You dont. €4 is the minimum bet on betfair, there's no way around it.

    Eh you can.

    Oki, see macshadows post on it:

    Lets say Man Utd are available to back at 2.00, so you click on back, then adjust the odds up to eg lets say 2.80 then submit a 4euro bet at 2.80 and it will be returned unmatched, then change the 4euro bet to 4.55euro and click submit, now you are left with two unmatched bets, one for 4euro and one for 0.55euro, now cancel the 4euro bet and you're left with one 0.55 bet, now adjust the odds on the 0.55 bet to 2.00 and click submit and it will be matched.

    there used to be a way if you placed a bet for something like €6 at odds that wont be matched, then cancel €4 of that bet then you would be left with €2 which you were allowed to bet with (You'll have to change the odds on this €2 so it will be matched)

    I haven't done this in the past 2 years and I don't think it works any more.

    I just tried it there and the way you gave ErinGoBrath works. I successfully put on a €0.55 bet. (only problem now is trying to pick an actual winner :rolleyes:)
