you can search thru site to get to athletics & bet to win (back) or lose(lay)
interesing example is 100m where "lay" odds for the top 3 are
bolt 2.54
tyson 3.65
safa 3.65
useful if you can't pick a winner, but have strong feelings on who won't win
e g
- if you think bolt is too inexperienced for a 100m with rounds, "lay" him for 10 units, ensuring you have 25.4 units in the account to pay up if he wins - if he loses, you win 10 units
- if you think safa is a choker or tyson too injured, lay either for 10 units, making sure you have 36.5 units funding & again win 10 units if your chosen guy loses
ones that catch the eye are sotherton to lay for 5.9 ( don't think she has any chance of winning ) or the anti-blonska's for 4.9 or in 400w, if you think sanya is going to lose, but don't know whether it's going to be the 2 brits or novlene who'll beat her, you can lay her for 1.44
