    Backed Aguilar e/w Portugal Masters, 6 places Paddy Powers, only had 10 e/w though.
    He finished tied 3rd with 4 others so I assume there's a dead heat rule as there are up 7 places then.
    What the d/h reduction?

    Winner - 1st place
    Second - 2nd place
    Third - 3rd place
    Third - 4th place
    Third - 5th place
    Third - 6th place

    Looks like you'll get full stake to full place odds.

    With four others is five tied for third. You work this out as place odds say 1/4 if he was 80/1 this 20/1 a place ie return of 21 you then multiply this by number of remaining places to qualify for place odds ie 3rd to sixth which is 4 and divide by number of players in dead heat ie 5. so multiply the return by 4/5 eg 21 x 4/5 is 16.80

    Correct, i even double checked before i posted and talked myself out of correcting it:

    Winner - 1st place
    Second - 2nd place
    Third - 3rd place
    Third - 4th place
    Third - 5th place
    Third - 6th place
    Third - Loser

    4/5 of stake to full place odds. or as restingpalm says 16.80
