# Limit Orders (Maker)

> Place a limit order to offer odds and act as the bookmaker on SX Bet.

A **limit order** lets you **assume the role of a bookmaker.** Instead of betting on an outcome to happen, you are betting against it — offering odds to other users on the exchange and allowing them to take the other side.

<Tip>You can post limit orders across as many markets as you like at the same time. Your exposure is checked independently per market — so you can offer up to your full wallet balance on multiple markets simultaneously, without splitting your funds between them.</Tip>

To place a limit order, pull up the order book, select "Limit" from within the bet slip, enter your wager and the odds you are requesting, and click **"Request Bet"**. If you're using MetaMask, an additional approval will pop up in your wallet.

**Example**: You think the odds for Grizzlies +15 should be higher than 2.00. You place a limit order to bet Grizzlies +15 at 2.02 odds. Now you wait for someone to fill your limit order.

You can see your offer pop up in the order book on the other side.

## How to Cancel a Limit Order

<Info>You can cancel a limit order anytime before it is matched. All limit orders are automatically cancelled when the game begins.</Info>

**From the event page:** Click the **Offered Bets** tab below the order book, select the limit order you want to cancel using the checkbox, then click **Cancel Selected**. If you're using MetaMask or Rabby, confirm in your wallet.
