Can someone help me with working out what my profit should be on a trade manually please? I'm trying out practice mode on lay the draw on the Crystal Palace v Liverpool match, and greened up on the 2nd goal. So I laid £2 at 4.4 and backed £2 ( on fixed stake) at 15.5. I then greened up at 19 where BA put in a stake of £1.17.

I've worked out manually and through a calculator I found online that I should be £1.43 up. But the ladder shows I'm £1.17 up? What am I missing out ? I only wanted to see what it would have been if I hadn't greened up on the 2nd goal ( although I don't think I'd have expected this score!)

The online cal is showing if you greened up at 15.5 (not 19 as you did on BA)

By backing for £2 you only closed the trade and would have only profited if it was a draw, but each tick it then drifted above 15.5 you will have been losing profit til you eventually greened out at 19
