Just one of the many variations available on BF.


Coincidentally I just tried Betfair's what-if option.

It includes unplaced bets in the calculations, so anyone here can select a market and try out these calculations.

Obviously if you accidentally place the unplaced bets there could be dire consequences.

For the record if you "unplace" $20 @ 14.0 it will show $260/$20 (before commission), so your $280/$20 is decimal odds of 15.0.

In the interests of not confusing newcomers.
