Match Hedging Math: Lay Betting Liability Rules on 11X Play

Understanding Lay Betting Liabilities

Unlike traditional bookmakers, sports exchanges let you act as the layer (betting against an outcome). While back bets carry fixed risk, lay bets introduce a liability calculation. Here is the math.

1. How Lay Liability is Calculated

If you lay a team at decimal odds of 3.0 for a stake of ₹100, your liability is: (3.0 - 1) * 100 = ₹200. This is the amount you stand to lose to pay the backer. If the team loses, you keep the ₹100 stake.

2. Smart Hedging and Trade Management

By laying a team after back betting at higher odds, you lock in a guaranteed profit regardless of the final match results. Connect with us on WhatsApp to register your exchange ID today!
