Ok lets say you want to offer Cle -120 tonight,
1. Check the box for Cleveland -161.
2. Once the add selections screen pops up, under the odds box you want to change that to -120.
3. Put in how much you would like your bet to be in the win amount and bet amount boxes.
4. Click submit.
5. Verify and click submit again.
You have just made an offer. It is listed on the LAA side as LAA +120.

Obviously someone has to accept your offer, but since you want Cle, the offer will show up on LAA side.
Any more questions, I will be happy to answer. My advice is to put in some crazy offers that no one will accept just to get the hang of it. That is how I learned.

That is a very good suggestion, it will be easier to see one's offer on the other side...
Now, on Betfair, folks are limited/downgraded/blacklisted when their ratio of accepted offers is very low...not something to worry about or that will happen to most of us: there are some who only put in crazy offers all day long, hoping to get lucky-- they just eat up bandwidth & contribute zilch.

Wrong! This is not an offer for Cleveland but a bet on Cleveland, offer on LAA. This guy is already confused unnecessarily.
Its simple.
Forget about making an offer.
1. You want to bet Cleveland.
2. The exchange has it now at -161 but you want it at -155.
3. Check the box for Cleveland, adjust the odds to -155 and submit the bet.
[4. It will then show as LAA +155 which is what you are offering.]
Bottom line: Make the bet you want and forget about the offer if it confuses you.
people never get limits reduced at betfair - they just don't like people trying to trick other customers into offering bets at 10 times the odds they should be - this hardlt happens nowadays anyway.
The reason there are $2 offers at big odds is because many layers use software to do the laying for them so the $2 offers are "feelers" for the market.

I think it's pretty straightforward to make offers at Mansion - but after reading this thread I almost feel the same way, Michael! :smoking:
Iceman, just dabble around with $1 offers - can't hurt too much. (If you dabble with higher amounts, let me know when :missingte)
