That would represent a loss, because you have backed the bet at 1.98. But you have given out the bet at 2.02, so regardless of what happens you would lose.
Laying a bet is saying you do not think something will happen. So backing an overs bet, is pretty much the same thing as laying the unders bet ie you think the game will go overs.
