did paddypower pull a fast one?.

hawker27

my mum had mckelvey backed 5 euros ew at 20/1,and as you know he came in second.
so she went in to the bookies today and handed in her bet slip and the woman handed her out a measely 30 euros,now this is,nt right i,m nearly sure of it.

so i went on paddypowers site and used the online calculator and calculated a single ew 1/2 placed 5 euro ew and it comes up as 55 euros to collect.

if i am right is there any way or anything i can do to get the correct amount due?.

It should be 30

Chucky the tree

the Grand national would of been 1/5.

€30 is the right payout. 1/4 the odds for a place. 20/4 * €5 = €25 + €5 stake = €30

ok lads thanks for the confirmation on the due amount,i find it amazing that a 5 euro ew bet on a 20/1 horse that comes second only pays out 30 euros,well 20 euros and your 10 back.each way is only a total farse.

Hi hawker 27,

The bet of 10 euro was 5 euro to win and 5 euro to be placed.

The horse didn't win so your ma lost the first 5 euro.

The payout was 25 euro(Placed) + 5 euro(bet)

Eh I'd hardly say each way betting is a total farse?

You mother got a 3/1 return on a horse that didn't win. Not bad im my books.

Well done to your Mam, we all know Mammys' never lose! Maybe next year she'll get the winner.

If it had of won you would of got €135 back.
I think you were confusing the E/W bet with a place bet.
If you put the whol tenner on place, you would of gotten more than 30, but no extra for winning
