Well that's what I make it - you've effectively got an accumulator at the following odds (assuming 1/5 a place): 7/20, 3/10, 3/5, 1/4 and 1/2.

It's £13.16 - sorry to disappoint you.

That's a bit insulting to suggest i didn't know that.

This morning i took odds of 7/4, 6/4 and 3/1 Winners, 5/4 2nd and 5/2 still to run.

Apologies if it came across that way it wasn't meant to.

Only need the place odds - it doesn't matter if you had 50 horses and 49 won and one placed the acca is for ALL horses to win or ALL to place. Equally if you had 49 winners and 1 come last there'd be no return on the bet

For a guaranteed return on the three winners the Yankee would be a better bet for 4 selections or a Canadian for 5 or a Heinz for 6.

Do bookies still take "eachway all eachway" bets? These work out better if you've a double and only one wins.
Tried to place one in an independent Sarf Landan turf accountants many years back - Granville Again and Young Ernie (both won, ironically). Was told that "we can't have that, mate, it's a northern bet". LOL.

I know it's an ATC bet but that's about it tbh

Example;

£1 each way all each way treble
Winner 4/1 1/5 odds
Placed 6/1 1/5 odds
Winner 5/2 1/5 odds

1st leg (£1 each way) returns £6.80
this return is split equally each way
2nd leg (£3.40 each way) returns £7.48
this return is split equally each way
3rd leg (£3.74 each way) returns £18.70

The same each way treble (win to win, place to place) would work as follows;

Win part = Loser
Place part £1 treble 4/5, 6/5, 1/2 = £5.94

Each way all each way works better if you have some winners but not all.
If all are winners win to win, place to place produces a significantly greater return.

HTH.

Good stuff Cumbriansaint - always helps to keep building the kitty up

Talking of building the kitty up. Made 30pound profit off betfair account (from a free bet, made 20quid profit from paddy power from the free bets, and going to try and do the same from Gala bingo and Tote next week, but will check the terms and conditions on their bonnuses thoroughly before I do, but looks Kosha from the scanning through I did earlier).

Also, tonight from my main account (William Hill), had Peter crouch to score first, and will shamefully like I've done in the past few weeks keep on putting 20/30 pence on "some" of the bets and tips people are posting on here

Nearly won the basketball bet last week put put a 7/1 shot in also with it, and it let me down
