Newbie - BetFair column display

[opeth42]

Hello.
I've just started, signed up with Coral and BetFair, placed my qualifying bet, received the £20 bonus, all good so far.
As the Coral feed is down in the PA Oddsmatching tool, I'm going to wait before I move to the next bet. I found a reasonable qualifying bet, but I'm not going to risk the next stage.
I notice that in the PA walk-though video the Betfair page is displayed with just one set of Back All/Lay All blue and pink columns.
When I'm looking at the Football listings on BetFair now, I see three sets, with the headings marked "1" "X" and "2".
What do these mean, and how do you decide which one is matched to the same listing on Coral?
I'm probably missing something obvious here, but its disconcerting when the BetFair page shown in the video is different to what's on the actual site

Home Draw Away

You are better off just clicking on the market and then all that goes away and it's a bit more clear what you are laying on

Football Match odds market are also known as 1x2 markets in betting parlance to reflect the three possible outcomes in a football match:

1 means the home team to win
X means the match to finish as a draw
2 means the away team to win

So say if Liverpool are playing Man Utd this weekend, the lay odds in the 1x2 market are:
"1" is 1.58 (Liverpool) on Betfair
This corresponds to "Home" at odds of 1.53 at Coral

"X" is 4.60 (draw) on Betfair
This corresponds to "draw" at odds of4.20 at Coral

2 is 7.20 (Man Utd) on Betfair.
This corresponds to "Away" at odds of 6.00 at Coral.

Each of these 3 possible outcomes are determined by the collective wisdom of backers and layers betting between each other. So far, £127k had been staked on the Match Odds market at a Betfair.

Thanks for the explanations Jon and RNinja, much appreciated. I knew it had to be something simple!
