Help on Back - Lay

Sun Feb 01, 2015 8:11 pm

A friend of mine who is affiliate with bookmaker X , takes a 30% commision from what I lose ( I am the one registered at him) having the No-Negative Carry Over Policy, we think like this :
With a stake of 2000 euroes , at a odd of 2 ( back - lay ) I put 1000euro on 2odd ( match favorite) on bookmaker X , and aproximately 1000Euro lay on odd 2 on exchanger Y. BUT !! I have problems on changing the "terms" of this arbitrage , in the next way.

If my BACK bet is winner , we will have profit 300 euro
If my LAY bet is winner , we will have a 300 euro lose , which we will cover the next month with the affiliate commision (1000Euro lost on bookmaker X)

My question is for those experimented in trading , if they want to help me :
How do I apply this method on odds of 1.30  , because I have a problem on calculating :

Back 1000 euro on odd 1.30 - bookmaker X
Lay = ?? What stake I must have on a LAY-ODD , in the same scenario I presented with odd 2 ?
I need an formula that will make use of that 30%-loss-return comission that is integrated in the arb itself.

Thanks

Maths are simple here. First of all make your life easier by backing (and not laying) the opposite event.
For example if the odds in 12 are 1.30/4 and the affiliate profit in the favorite is 30% you should act like this:
1.30x1000=1300
4x250=1000 (+300)=1300
In this even you are risking 1250 to win 1300 securing a 50 profit.
