    You would lose the bet and the money would be in your exchange site. Does that make sense?

    I love that site in the fact it tells you exact;y what to do and best odds to lay at etc. Will be reading that thanks Jen

    What have you done on betfair jen? The free bet over there is only £10 is it not? They are an exchange so you would be re using them a lot anyway so don;t worry you may just lose out on a free bet
