    If you place a lay bet with insufficient liquidity available, your bet will be unmatched. There’s no need to panic; you have a few options.

    If it’s completely unmatched, I recommend cancelling the bet. You can then check the market, find the lay odds with sufficient liquidity and amend them on the calculator.

    If your bet is partially matched, I also recommend cancelling the unmatched part of your bet. You can then use the ‘Part Lay’ function on the calculator. Simply enter the details of the partial bet you just placed, then enter the available odds for the remainder of your bet.

    Another option, if the event isn’t due to start for a while, is to wait and see if your lay bet matches. Just be aware that the lay odds could drift, leaving you with a larger qualifying loss.

    I hope that helps.
