If it's a betting slip it's probably because you will have taken the odds at the start of the race rather than current odds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your betting slip will say EW @ 1/X 1-Y Y is the minimum position your horse must finish to place, typically top 4-6 X is how much the odds are divided by if it places as opposed to winning, again typically 1/4 or 1/5. So if you bet on a 20/1 horse at 1/5 1-6 and it comes in 3rd place, your odds on a place are 4/1. To find out how much you staked on a place, half your total stake. Your other half of the stake is the straight win bet, at 20/1, but remember that if you win at 20/1 you've also placed at 4/1. Say you put £1.25 EW on a 20/1 horse at 1/4 1-5: Wins: Win £5 profit from the place bet plus £25 profit from the win bet, plus get your £2.50 total stake back. Total profit £30 2nd-5th: Win £5 profit from the place bet, plus your £1.25 stake back from that, but lose the other 1.25 stake. Total profit £3.75 6th+: Nothing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjc Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Currently in a "British pub" in Tokyo and the only draught they have on offer is Guinness and Heineken........ should I say something? The food menu was more Italian than anything but in fairness the haggis wasn't bad...... although that could be more to do with the fact I can't actually remember what proper haggis tastes like! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Had a few pints last night - 8 to be precise. That was from 3pm till about 9pm. That's almost half of a usual day out and today has been an absolute travesty. Thumping head l day, feeling I need to be sick but not actually doing it and unable to just fall asleep for a few hours peace. I think I'm officially old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 My grandad loved a bet on the horses. Towards his latter days, he suffered very badly from Parkinson's, but if you asked him to work out odds for a race, he was as sharp as a tack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take the worst of the Western ceremony, combined with 12 courses of raw fish and numerous speeches by the bride and groom's company CEOs then you'd love it! Although I did find out that a woman wearing a long sleeve kimono is unmarried as opposed to the short sleeve version. so Aneka was living in sin with her Japanese boy, the slag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
