Oh Dear I have messed up

[unicornrider]

Well, it all looked easy but finding your bet on Betfair isn't that easy so I ended up laying the same match twice :-( #fail let hope the lay bet wins I suppose..... This match betting is not as easy as it sounds and I am going through Profit Accumulator

Is the match or race coming up soon? Have you placed the bet once with the bookie? Hopefully someone will be able to give you the best advice, but can you cash out one of the lay bets, or place another bet with a different bookie.

 

[unicornrider]

I tried to cancel it on betfair as I layed it twice but it didn't have an option, it's tomorrow so no rush

Have you placed your back bet at the bookie?

Yes I did that, did the lay, then went did the free bet one, checked to see what was what and panicked on betfair as I couldn't see all of my lays, so redid it.

Now I can't find my bets at all :-( but it has does register that I have deposited and have £45 in liabilities. This is so much more complicated than I thought, on William Hill you just look at open bets and there it is. On BetFair I see nothing

Are you in betfair EXCHANGE??

Not sportsbook!

 

[unicornrider]

Yup where do you find your lays in the exchange, I made sure when I put them on I was in the Exchange as I had seen people do that before

They appear on the right hand side if you look at the event you have placed the lay bet on

 

[Jon]

Your not trying to do this on your phone / tablet are you?

 

[unicornrider]

Nope on the Laptop, I have found it now in betting history - option matched, I have until the 3rd May to place another back bet on to counter the extra lay bet. My free bets come in tomorrow so should be able to sort it. I think of myself of a very organised and analytical person (my job is logistics) but this has got me a bit confused and I wasn't when I watched the videos. I think I will have the odds calculator open in a seperate window (which profit accumulator does not do unlike it oddsmatcher tool) to avoid the panic.

Thanks @Jon for helping, I think I have it sorted, I was aiming to get some collateral flowing before the weekend. Am writing it all down too.

Don't forget, if an Exchange won't let you cash out for some reason, you can manually place a Back bet at the Exchange too to cancel out an error.

Thanks I just did this, day two was far more successful, my free bets came good this morning in favour of Betfair, so took up the next trigger bet offer, BetFred was down so went on to SkyBet. I have to admit I have used Team Profit for looking for bets alongside Profit Accumulator. So placed my trigger bet with Skybet and layed it on Betfair, not making any silly mistakes. I will leave placing my free bets for a day.

I found It was easy only until a certain point, made a few mistakes like this too!
