    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • My first matched bet?

    Jaxx - back aston villa for odds of 1.65, £25, possible "win" of 41.25

    Betfair - lay aston villa for odds of 1.71, 25.60 (liability of 18.18?)

    this it to get a free bet at jaxx for 25 quid.

    Is this right please?

    thank you
    - from the other forum, step three?

    Lots of nice people helped and said I should change the 25.60 to 24.85? can't remember exactly but I know I did what they said.

    *waits anxiously*

    Yeah, your commission for the lay is 5% so you need to lay £24.85 with liability of £17.64. Returns £23.61

    Did you get those figures in the end from the spreadsheet?
  • spreadsheet?

    oh dear.

    I recognise 17.64 ............ oh dear.

    No you download it from here. :)

    It basically tells you how much you need to lay depending on the odds and stake?

    How did you get your original amount to lay without the matcher spreadsheet?
  • :ofrom a magic website.:o

    you just copy what it says. it literally says click here and do this and put this match and click on the pink etc.

    Its like the Janet and John of Matched Betting.

    Is that wrong? do other people use it? could I ask any more stupid questions?
