What is Lay Betting?
Lay betting is when you bet against an outcome happening. Instead of backing a selection to win, you're betting that it won't win. This is only possible on betting exchanges where you can act as the bookmaker.
When you lay a bet, you're taking on the role of the bookmaker. You need to have enough money in your account to cover the potential liability if your lay bet loses.
