Back SP

[wema9247]

Hi,

is it possible to back at SP with a specified possible winning chance? For example I would like to back an amount at SP to win 100. Like it is done for Lay at SP with a specified liability.

Thanks for help!

Hi wema9247

would it work for you as described here:

I would also like to see something like you describe simply by clicking the
"Staking mode" header to cycle through Stake - Liability - Payout and Target (new option)
Or adapt the "Payout" to work with backing the same way as it works with "Liability" or laying?

I am sure Gary will understand - whether we get it or not remains to be seen,
it usually depends on if other users support it too?

All the best - Michael [/b]

I'm afraid you cannot specify a target profit for BACK SP bets. It would mean Betfair would have to calculate your stake when they reconcile the SP bets. They don't offer that facility. The best you can do is calculate the required stake as close to the off as possible and place the bet then.

Thanks for your answers!
It's like I've suspected. Probably it is because of the minimum stake of 2. If I want to back a horse at SP to win a specific amount it might be that my stake would be less than 2, so betfair do not accept those bets...
