Bet fair help

Ok so I bet

Chelsea v Man U
2-2
1-3

I click sell at £13 which was £8 profit.
Now my account shows just my initial stake of £5 back in my account?

Its a bit cryptic but my guess is that if you just sold when your profit showed 13 you just secured your £5 back as ultimately when the match was concluded both your bets were wrong so you lost.what you should have done was to lay it back at with a bigger stake thus locking in your profit no matter what the result.Hope this makes sense.Its called "greening up" I can explain this further should you need it.

I am a little lost, I was confused when betting between bet and lay.
God knows where my free bet is as well

I had Swansea to win as well

I've ended up £16.49 up but no idea how
