Can anyone work out how this is calculated via the odds i am laying with a stake of £13.33 @ say 8.0 and Laying another selection at 9.2 for £13.33 in the bookmaking section it gives me a liability of £43.71 how does BA calculate this , am really good at working out odds etc but this has thrown me cant work out how this liability has got there more the calculation than the figure :? :?

when you are using a stake of £13.33 you are spreading your money of £13.33 over two selections .so in reality you lay the horse at
@8 for £7.13 and the horse
@9.2 for £6.20
your liabbility on the two horses is then calculated at the odds price (ie) £7.13 @8=£43.71 and
£[email protected]=£43.71
i hope this helps
if you are tring to lay with a liability of £13.33 then you have to lay with a stake of approx £4.00 :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
