Alot!!
Its 40/1 on 365, therefore a tenner wins you £400 plus your tenner back!

You can only lay that bet if you have £400 in your account, unless you offer reduced odds that are taken later.
If the score ends up anything other than 3-3, you win £10.

If you lay 3-3 that means you are betting the result will NOT be 3-3 (the pink column on betfair). The current price is 74-1 so if you want to lay the backer £10 if the result was 3-3 it would cost you £750.
If you back 3-3 at 69/1 and stake £10 you will win £690 less betfair commission of 5% so your return would be $665.50 including your stake (the blue column on betfair).
Unless you're wadded don't lay these kind of bets.

Why would a bookie offer good odds on a match to not finish 3-3? They'd have to be the most generous bookie on the planet. If a load of money goes on a team to win, the odds to win would reduce, then in turn you'd get more money if you put a lay bet on for that team to not win? I think that's the theory behind it but i'm no expert.

If you lay it you would need £750 in your account trying to win £10 (actually only £9.50 after commission). If you don't know what you're doing steer well clear.AdamBlue said:So I'd win 750 pounds or have to deposit that and if so then how much do i get back?

Well Ladbrokes has that at 50/1, so I'd go there tbh.
