    Keep it up man, good work so far. You're up €53.27 in 4 days, I'd be happy with that at the moment.

    Yeah, I know. I'd consider it if I could start off with small stakes, but with a €2 minimum bet and some of these bets being layed at 100/1, it's too expensive for me!

    Sign up with Betdaq - 50 cent minimum bet. Betdaq or WBX aren't as liquid as Betfair, but for Correct Score laying, the odds are roughly the same and there is always plenty of cash in the market to back or lay.

    He is laying the bet so he doesn't want the correct score to happen otherwise he loses, that's why he is only making a small profit on each.

    Suppose you could say he is the bookie, if I bet €10 that the Liverpool match is gonna be 3-3 tonight and get odds of 120-1 the OP would lay it and if that was the score he would give me €1,200.

    Think that sounds about right.

    +1

    On the above example:

    From my point of view - Layer

    Potential Profit - €10.00 (before commission)
    Potential Liability - €1,200.00

    From Crowie13's point of view - Backer

    Potential Profit - €1,200.00 (before commission)
    Potential Liability - €10.00

    Very brave betting Bestake, alot of risk for a small profit and a couple of scares but still in profit. Will be watching closely, good luck :)
