You can cancel any of your outstanding bets that have not yet been matched. However, once a bet has been matched you can no longer cancel it.
Any bet that has not yet been matched can be cancelled simply by ticking the orange box beside the bet, and then clicking 'Submit'. If a bet has already been part-matched then you can only cancel the outstanding amount. Alternatively, you can click ‘Cancel All’ in the My Bets tab to cancel all remaining unmatched bets.
