What is a ‘lay’ bet?

A lay bet is the opposite of a back bet – you are betting AGAINST something happening. For example, if you lay Manchester United to win, you win if they lose or draw.

Lay betting is popular on betting exchanges. When you lay a bet, you are essentially acting as the bookmaker, offering odds to other bettors. Your potential loss is higher than your stake because you must pay out if the outcome occurs.
