Hi - I've just started practising using the In play trader. My stakes are set to £10 back only.

So I backed the winner at 1.24 which should give me winnings of £2.40. When I look on the ladder screen it is showing a £10 loss - see attached screen shots.

I'm very confused - if I was to be doing this live would I have won or lost?

The amount you win or lose is shown next to the selections name

If Thomas Mor won you'd have won £2.40
If any other runner you'd have lost £10

Thanks Dallas

But I don't understand why the amount up next to the greening icon is showing £10 loss. On another similar bet (see screenshots) the amount next to that is showing as £10 profit.

I know it's probably me being a tad dim :)

Thats the amount you can green up for

While the market is active and there are prices available this figure will constantly be changing, but at the end when there are no prices available it will just default to your stake as there's nothing else it can display


On your one-click screen if you tick the 'Green' box above the trade profit column the figures in these boxes will show the same value as the figure next to the scales icon on the ladder screen
