Ok, so I'm pretty good at maths but I still don't understand laying off.

Why would I go on another site and place even more money on a team I've already bet on? If that team doesn't win then I've lost even more money than I bet in the first place.

I'm missing something here.

        fark me that appears to be an inordinate amount of dicking about (NCFC) - Tombs, Sep 26, 10:45:00
      - My personal approach was to look at it as costing me ?30 for the shirt (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 26, 09:58:11
        
        Yeah all depends how you want to (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 26, 09:59:15

        So am I right in thinking (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 26, 10:03:55
        
        To adm or anyone (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 26, 10:04:16
        
        Yep (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 26, 10:10:59
        
        Might also have to deposit all ?30 in one go (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 26, 10:11:50
        
        Don't have to deposit 30 in one go I think. Just first three bets must be 10 quid min (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 26, 11:51:03
  - I went for the closest to 1/2 I could find for all three (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 26, 09:16:46
  - Also Birmingham to beat Rotherham is probably a good bet (n/m) (NCFC) - glasgow, Sep 26, 09:11:32
  - You can have Chelsea as they're 8/13 (n/m) (NCFC) - glasgow, Sep 26, 09:10:27
