The unders price will drop not drift with no goals, if there is a goal the stop won't be matched as when market suspends the bet will be cancelled, the price will likely be a lot higher depending on how long into the game it is.

Depends if you still think your position represents value, if you layed him, and he's playing really badly and rarely makes comebacks, then why close?

Remember too that greening at a lower price will return more profit than greening at a higher price.

I'm on the ladder and lets state I should again first and later on to lay on the switch side, by the by exactly when my again bet is matched.Once I use Offset bet with greening when I set again bet, BA put another bet for me on the lay perspective even my money on the back won't be facilitated.

Newbie here

Can anyone answer or advise me

Can i place a lay bet on the favourite pre off and when in play place a back bet to make a profit or if the price reduces put a stop bet in ?

On the same subject of Newbies and scalping.
I have been Matched Betting for nearly a year and yesterday I tried BetAngel for the first time (with Betdaq). Using the one-click screen I made a trade with a profit of £1.20. I clicked 'Green' and this spread across the field with £0.12 on each horse. However, when the race started, these values fluctuated until, at the end of the race, all horses were at £0.00 except my original one which had returned to £1.20. It lost, so no profit made. What am I missing? Why did I not get a £0.12 profit?
