Bet Submission
To submit a bet on the In-Play interface you click on the selection at the price you wish to Back or Lay. Prices are compressed from 1.01 at the Finish Line, up to 1000 at the Starting Line. The side of the selection you click on will depend upon the selected choice in the Left / Right Click options.
Using a Left Click only option.
The amount you submit can quickly be changed by entering a different amount in the Stake box. There is no need to click in the Stake box to change the stake as it is automatically selected for which ever selection your mouse is currently over.

However, if you wish to select your stake using the Stake Menu, you right click in the Stake box and the stake menu will be displayed from which you can select one of your preset stakes.
