Reading the ladder

Back (blue)
Money available for you to back — offered by layers on the exchange. Best back price is the highest available, directly below or at the LTP. Bar width shows relative depth at each tick.
Lay (pink)
Money available for you to lay — offered by backers. Best lay price is the lowest available, at or above the LTP. Tighter spreads (fewer ticks between best back and best lay) indicate a liquid market.
LTP
Last Traded Price — the most recently matched price, highlighted in cyan. In liquid markets the LTP sits between the best back and best lay. Sudden LTP movement (steam) signals a directional shift in the book.
Weight of Money
Ratio of total available back volume to total available lay volume across all visible ladder levels. Back-heavy WoM (blue bar >50%) suggests the market expects the price to shorten. Lay-heavy suggests drift.
Tick ladder
Betfair prices must be valid exchange ticks — the increment changes at fixed price boundaries. Submitting a price of 3.14 to the API returns INVALID_ODDS; it must be rounded to 3.15 (the nearest valid tick in the 3.00–4.00 band). Use the rounding tool above to verify prices before placing orders.
