Hi, ppl
First of all, gj on YT videos :)
I have question about money on back and lay. Does money on lay goes in total matched
for exmple:

Total matched on this event:€20,216
Betting summary - Volume:€17,342 (does this included money matched on lay or only back)?

I hope u can undrstand what i ask :)

Hi Zodd, welcome to the forum.

My understanding, on the Betfair site at least, is that the turnover for each horse and total turnover is double what's actually traded because it includes back and lay money.

For example, place a £40 back bet and £80 is added to the turnover totals because it includes the £40 layer's money. Different trading software may total it differently.
