Eoin, you sound like a girl in that video. Is there something you're not telling us

Probably a bit cheeky but with all the offers around now it would be really helpfull to a semi newb like me to know how to use it for IF type bets. I have seen the instructions but it just sends me into a trance.

Im afraid I cant help it is nothing to do with this site really we DO NOT advise you use a Spreadsheet to calculate bets for you (Unless its one you made and so just saves time). Overall a spreadsheet can never tell you the amounts you want to back/lay for as it does not factor in some of the most important factors to the bet (rollover, site reliability, what you favour to happen, etc etc etc).

Perhaps if you PM the guy who made it he may help, but the official advice here is that if you cant work out what bets you want to be placing in your head (or maybe jotted down on a bit of paper infront of you) then dont place the bet.

Goodluck though, "if" bets are not hard really, simply back/lay whatever is allowed for the qualifying bet to lose as little as possible regardless, then lay the "what if" event to be winning more than the amount you lose in the first bet but at the same time keeping the liability to under the amount you will get refunded if it does happen. Which is not always possible, but thats the idea. Simples

sadly i can work it out on paper but takes a while and im not sure im making best profit

im not sure im making best profit

Overall profit is not the most important thing, overall utility (happiness) is, profit will play a large part of that but not all and a spreadsheet wont be able to help you with it.

Dont just look at the numbers close your eyes and picture every outcome and how much you win and where and are you happy in every event? If there is an event/outcome where you favour situation A over B then go back and change the stakes until you are always happy. It is fantastically unlikely you will be just as happy with the same amount of profit into Betfair as into BookmakerA that is not the best way to do it.

I strongly believe if you ditch the spreadsheet and start thinking on your feet even with a few errors and actual losses you will learn from it and be able to think things through so much more and have such a better grasp of whats going on that in next to no time you will laughing and never look back.
