Back or Lay

When you "back" a selection (be it an individual, a team, horse, dog or other), you are betting that it will win. This is just like betting with Online Bookmakers.

When you "lay" it, you are betting against it winning. For example, if you're betting in a market on who is going to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup and you lay Best Mate, you offer odds to other punters who wish to back Best Mate. If Best Mate doesn't win, then you pick up the backer's stake. If Best Mate wins, then you pay out. This is what bookmakers traditionally do. You never know who you are betting against, your privacy and the confidentiality of your bets is maintained by the Betting Exchange.

Choose odds

With Betfair there is always a choice of what odds to accept. If you want better odds than are currently available, you can place an order for a better price, but be realistic because there has to be somebody prepared to lay the bet at those odds, and vice versa. Take a look at the odds before a race and you will see them change as visitors back and lay their bets. The Betting Exchange odds often improve nearer to the off, as there are more people in the market.
