equal profit question

[bizmark222]

HI
If I back a fav at say 1.34 before the event starts and then the 2nd fav drifts out to around 6.0 in-play ... and im in the green, I then would like the automation file to back the 2nd fav at around 6.0 with the exact amount to produce equal profit over the 2 selections no matter what the outcome from which one wins and removing the risk. how can this be done please?

often its better/easier to lay the favourite instead as most money is being bet on the favourite so you should get a slightly better price and you only have to select green up
otherwise there is a „what if“ option which will give you an estimate
payout of both bets needs to be the same so so so if you bet 100 on 1.34 you would have to stake 134 : 6 on the underdog to even profit

I assume its a two runner market like tennis or o/u goals in football? if so then you can just green up the on the fav

Or you can enable 'Optimized Greening' in your setting area which can increase your profits by using the other selection

Thank you....Yes it's tennis. With optimized greening would you stll use the rule green all selections and it would lay not back to give you the best profit?
