A very beginner question

[damien]

Hi and apologies to those who read the same or similar questions before.

I've only started using Bet Assistant the last 2 days so it's all very new to me.
I've been trying scalping using small stakes until I get to know some of what goes on in a trade.
Today for example, a horse odds sitting currently at 5.0 , I placed a £2 order for 5.5 and sit and wait until the price rises to 5.4 and hit lay £2. The lay gets matched and after a few minutes the back gets matched.

So 20p profit I assume? but how do I go about extracting the profit or locking it in.

I have also noticed that 4 bets appear on BA and not 2. There is the initial back 5.5 and lay 5.4 and then back 5.2 & lay 5.7 which I did not place.

Can anyone advise on what method/proceedure I need to follow please.

Thanks
