How do I choose my odds?

When you’re betting on Betfair, you do not have to take the odds available at that time. If you want better odds, you can ask for them.

As with placing any bet, click on the best price available for your selection: e.g. in this case, the blue (Back) box for 11 to win. The Bet Manager will launch your bet on the right hand side of the screen.

Enter your stake in the usual way, but then amend the odds in the “Your Odds” box to the ones that you would like. You can do this by either entering the numbers on your keyboard, or by using the cursor or up/down keys to scroll through the odds increments.

Submit your bet in the usual way, as explained in "How do I place a bet?”. Or watch our betting tutorials for more information.

Acceptable Odds

All Betfair bets must be placed at 'acceptable' Odds increments. For example, if you would like to leave an order on the system, you can only change the current Odds by the increment, or multiple of the increment, shown below.

2.02 3 0.02
3.05 4 0.05
4.1 6 0.1

10.5 20 0.5
21 30 1
32 50 2
55 100 5
110 1000 10
