Lay odds

Postby Conrad1971 » Mon Jun 11, 2012 12:45 am

Hi, can someone please tell me how i can place a lay bet at greater odds than are being offered, on the grid interface.
e.g. If the lay box on a specific selection is 13, how can i place a lay bet at 25, so if it goes out my lay bet is placed?
It is simple to do on the ladder, but i cant seem to do it on the grid.
Thanks for any help.

If you place a lay bet at higher odds you will just get matched instantly because Betfair always match you at the best available odds. When you say it's simple on the ladder are you sure you aren't placing a back bet instead? On the ladder you click the right column to back and left to lay which is opposite to the grid.

You need to place a conditional bet so that the prices are monitored until the odds go up to your required price and the bet is placed at that point. View the user guide from the help menu and read about "Conditional bets".

Sports betting software from Gruss Software


The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.

Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.

Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.

He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.

We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
