In order to place a back bet on Betnfair, first select the sports event you want to bet on. As soon as you click on the event you are interested in, you will see the available markets. On a classic match odds soccer game, columns of blue and yellow color will be displayed next to each option (Team A, Draw and Team B) for backing and laying. Blue color represents the back bets and yellow color the lay bets.

To place a back bet on Team A, the Draw, or Team B you need to focus on the blue boxes of each selection. There are three blue boxes with different odds offered next to each. Click on the odds of your interest. The betslip will appear on the right side of your screen where you can enter the amount you wish to stake and then submit your bet.

​

Your back bet needs to find a matching lay bet from another player in the platform who has a different prediction. If your prediction wins, your back bet is successful. If it does not, the opposing lay bet will win instead.
