    Ah it's easy really.

    You understand how the odds work right? 5/1 means for every quid you bet on the horse you get 5 back, plus your initial stake. So a fiver on a horse at 5/1 would return 30 to you if it wins.

    Other than that, you have Each way, which basically means "I'm going to bet that this horse either wins the race, or is placed (usually top 3)". You pay twice the stake (so if you stake 3 quid on that you have to give the bookie 6 quid), the payout is higher if the horse wins the race but lower if it is only placed.

    Only time I'm arsed with horse racing is the big events, i.e. Cheltenham and the Grand National (which is the day after boards beers!! :D)
    That's what I heard and read! I get the maths but can't be bothered!
