betfair is complicated at first, but gives by far the best odds for high odd bets
eg 7-0 if there is money available to back you will get considerably higher than Coral.
So it's worth trying to work it out if you are going to be betting alot.
So. You can currently click on the CORRECT SCORE 2 market under Norwich v Doncaster. Then click on the blue button next to "7-0" and to the right you will see it's currently 27. You don't in a million years want to take odds of 27.0 on 7-0, so you can change it and ask someone to match you at the odds you want.
i.e type in 140 in the "YOUR ODDS" box and then put in ?5 in the "YOUR STAKE" box and then press submit.
This will be UNMATCHED but it is possible (unlikely on a market like this) that someone will lay it.
All the money on betfair (supposedly) is humans betting against each other. So if the odds aren't what you want, you can ask for someone to bet against you at the odds you want.
Normally the odds are fine and you will take what is on offer but not in this particular market where there isn't any proper money.
