Single and in Debt Part II

I'm not sure but I think you can only bet what you have deposited???

I know in Betfair you need to have enough in there to cover your full risk which is why I chose low odds, my lay odds were 1.53 so my lay risk is only £13,64. If you pick bigger odds like say 3.5 you have a lay risk of £27.61 so you would need to have enough in there to cover that.

I put in £30 to betfair and £25 to Betdaq (my 'back' bookies)

Oh well, lets see what happens tomorrow evening!

Probably Shoegal knows what time the match will finish? Are matches 90 mins? does that include the interval (do they even call it that in football????) So many questions, so few answers....

I think that the only way I am really going to understand how it works is to just do it and see what happens. If your lay risk is £13.64 is that how much you have to put on? Or do you just have to make sure you have enough in your account to cover it and press "lay" to place the bet?

They play 45 mins each way (90 mins) plus half time (the interval!) of approx 15 mins. Most European matches kick off at 7.45 UK time so finish between 9.30 and 9.45, allowing for half time and any stopage time (don't ask!)

At the bottom of the matcher s/s it tells you what your lay stake is. From memory mine was about 25.24 or something.

But you have to have available in your account the lay risk amount. So as this is low odds it wasn't that much but with higher odds 3 or so you would need quite a bit more so I was searching for low odds.

To actually do the bet, you just click on the odds shown, the pink bit in betfair and it comes up with a box to fill in your stake. It is quite easy and it does ask you quite a few times to confirm so you can double check each time to be sure!!

Well I have been to the theatre about 500 times more than football (only ever been to one football match....and that was in Italy so who knows what it was called there!!!

You'll be telling me next they don't even have orange quarters during HALF TIME?

Urgh the football talk is making me feel ill. Did I mention that I hate football??? Haha.

Why is it such a lovely day outside when I have so much to do inside?

Grrrr now I'm properly angry!

My mum has been using a dating website and she was meant to be meeting a man last week. She was very ill on the day he was meant to come and in bed. He tried to ring but she couldn't get downstairs to the phone. He decided to come anyway and got a train. Obviously mum didn't meet him and now he has been phoning her and demanding that she send him the price of his train ticket!!

My mum is far too pacifist for her own good and was actually going to send him the cash even tho she can't afford to pay her bills atm! I've told her to let me speak to the !!!!!!!, if she doesn't I'm going to find his number and put the fear of God into him... how dare he harass my mum!

AAAARGH.
