    Lads, I done a €5 treble last night on halftime/fulltime results and I have 2 winning selections, just waiting on the 3rd part of my bet which go's tonight. I am looking to guarantee a return whether it wins or loses. Not sure how best to go about hedging if thats what its called, any advice would be greatful! Here's the bet:

    Stake: €5 treble

    1) draw/Atletico 4/1 win
    2) draw/Bayern 7/2 win
    3) Napoli/Napoli 16/5 going tonight

    No Cashout option? Thats a nice bet id prob let it run but you can lay your third leg which is 3-1 on betfair.

    €467.50 Winnings against a stake of €5.
    I'd guess there's no cash out option as it was probably done with a bookie.
    As duffman13 said, bets bet to guarantee a profit is to lay the Napoli double result at 3.95 currently (moved down).
    You can lay it to win €100 and lose €295 on Betfair.
    You would then have a guaranteed €90 profit (€100 win betfair less 5% commission & €5 stake) if result is not a Napoli ht/ft or a guaranteed profit of €172.50 for Napoli ht/ft.
    You can mess around with the numbers to give yourself a bigger
    profit either side, just remember to take into account the commission if using Betfair.
    You could also do it in running and hope Napoli lead at half time.

    Cheers lads, I think I might just let it run as is. But could anyone recommend a good site where you can calculate how much to lay in this situation to maximise guaranteed return? Thanks again
