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

74/1 on betfair. Can't understand why anyone uses bookies anymore as betfair prices are better 99% of the time.

Sounds like you've not got you're head round laying at Betfair, so I'd stay clear!
If you are laying, you are being the bookie, so if you lay 3-3 at 75-1, for you to 'win' the punters £10 then you have to be prepared that if the 'punter' wins and it is 3-3 then you'd have to pay him £750.

in simple terms. reverse the odds of the original bet

I knew it wouldnt be 3-3

Betfair is not a bookmaker
Backing Odds can be better than betting with a bookie (but they take 5% from winnings)
Betfair dont do Antepost betting
Betfair dont accommodate doubles, trebles etc

I agree with the above, 100% (if in doubt - stay out!)

However, if you fancy testing yourself for gambling smarts, try this:-

(it's the professional gambler aptitude test on OKCupid; it's serious - but it's also fun)
