Sorry buddy, struggling to read this, looks like you managed to lay 2 selections and would have made a small profit on the winner.

To Take a screen shot: Press Shift + PrtScrn. Then open Paint and Ctrl + V to paste it in. Use the cropping tools to cut out the bit you want and save it as a .jpg file

You laid the field and got matched for 2 under 2 for an all green result. Well done.

Or just use the 'snipping tool' on windows. Draw a rectangle around the area you want to capture. Then save. Simple

Look in your betfair account to see what you won for that race.

The amount you win or lose is the amount thats shown next to the winning selections name. As there is no available back odds for the top runner in your screenshot that suggests that was the winning horse, therefore whatever amount is next to their name is what you win (all the amounts shown next to other runners or in the trade profit column when the race finishes are irrelevant)
