What are SP odds limits?
SP odds limits is a new feature that allows you to specify either the minimum odds you are prepared to accept for an SP bet, for back bets, or the maximum odds you are prepared to offer for a lay bet. Traditional bookmakers or totes don’t offer this type of bet, but Betfair has created an SP system that will. You just need to select the set odds limit option when placing the SP bet and specify the minimum acceptable odds for back bets or the maximum acceptable odds for lay bets. If the Betfair SP falls outside the limits specified, stakes are returned and the bet is not matched. This enables Betfair to calculate the minimum profit you will make on the selection if the result goes in your favour. SP Backers Min Profit Calculation (Min Odds – 1) x Stake = min profit SP Layers Min Profit Calculation Liability / (Max odds – 1) = Min Profit See the Setting SP Limits section for further details.
