In the following example, you are laying a team at odds of 1.87, the backer is staking ₹100. Your liability of ₹87 is taken from your balance as this is your worst case scenario.

In this example, if the team wins the tournament, the total payout will be ₹287. You have to pay ₹87 to the winning customer, as the backer’s original stake is returned to them. If the team loses the tournament, you win ₹100 minus commission from the betting exchange.
