Laying a golf bet

    Ok I've been using betfair for a while, but have never really used the lay option. I put on 3 golf bets yesterday. €10 on Garcia at 48. €5 on Allenby at 180 and €5 on Leishman at 140. So I stand to win €460, €880 and €680 respectively, if either wins. Now, when i lay one of the 3, is it possible to lock in a profit either way?
    Garcia is currently 36 to lay, so when I type in €10 for this, under his name it says €460 <€110, both in green? So does that mean that if he wins, I win €460, and if he loses, I win €110? I thought for my €10 lay stake, I could only win my €10 along with another €10, but my liability would be 350.
    Can anyone please help?

    No, what it means is that if he wins you get €110 and if he looses you break even, not worh laying just yet imo, I generally wait till Sunday to lay.
