Germany v Spain
If i Back £5 on germany @ 3.05
and Lay £5 on the draw @ 3.55
What should my return be if Germany win ?

Bet Angel shows the following on the one click screen

Germany
p&l £15.25
Spain
P&L 00.00
Draw
P&L - £17.75
Surely if germany win it cant be a draw so i should get a total of £20.25 under germany,s P&L. Obviously if spain win i win the £5 lay bet but loose the $5 stake on germany giving me net £0 that is correct. However if it is a draw the figures should be -£17.75 for the draw and then -£5 for the bet on germany giving -£22.75. Am i reading BA wrong by assuming that the P&L figure relates to profit and loss on the whole event ie
Germany win
P&L = xxxx
Spain Win
P&L= xxxx
Draw
P&L= xxxx
Please Help

I think you're making the mistake of adding your stakes back in

Hi Le tiss
not sure what you mean, if i simplyfy...
£5 @ 3.05 back germany
£5 @ 3.55 Lay The Draw
If Germany win what is my return?
The P&L on the one click screen shows £15.25 shouldnt it be £20.25
Might seem pedantic but when evaluating whether to take a Profit/loss if P&L shows £15.25 and i could "green up for say £7.50 ie cut potential profit by half but loose all further risk ,if the actual potential profit £20.25 i am greening up with a 66% loss Rather than 50% hope that makes sense!!

:idea: :idea: ""LIGHT BULB MOMENT"" :idea: :idea:

Profit DOES NOT include stake

Just going out back and thrash myself with some old birch twigs
