Well I tried ! but once having been married to a gambler I know all about losing !
pls work out my meagre winnings £5 EW on her maj's horse @9/4 for me, and its back to bingo next week.
Thanks
Dee

OMFG................................

I make it £7.81 which is precisely £7.81 more than I won, well done.

[Dee Sa]

mick I know nothing about horse racing just took advice of a fellow A/Ber,explain why I should not have done that.pls.

[Mick-Talbot]

Firstly, Dee the OMFG , was because the Swiss scored :0(
not aimed at you.

i wouldn't bet on an e/w chance, unless it got at least my money back, if it did get placed.

[Dee Sa]

thanks but I am still a little hazy as it would mean I would have to work it out in the bookies ! luckily I only bet on the National and the Derby.

You usually get about 1/4 or 1/5th of the odds for a place on an each way bet Dee. So if the horse comes second or third you need the odds to be about 5-1 or more to get your money back. Anything less than that, just go for a win only bet.

You get about £7.50 back on your bet but it cost you £10.
