Can someone explain this to me. I had 2 €5 EW bets today which I also combines as an €5 EW Double, the first horse won at 11/2 and I got €43.12, the other placed at 13/2 and I got €11.50, my double only returned €24.15, how is that calculated?

because only one horse won in your e/w double,you only get the e/w part of it. look at it as two bets, a win double and an ew double,only one of the bets came up....the e/w part

That makes sense, I thought I would have multipled the first by the second bets, thanks for that.

I left the dream too when I moved to this cold Bàstard of a country.

By the way, anyone know the best sign up bonus for an online account? I've managed to clear out my PP account and figure it might be an opportunity to avail for some bonuses

Pulled pork baps. Delicious. I'm a genius in the kitchen.

Off to Nevin Maguires tomorrow. Don't think it'll be better than today's dinner ha

Slattsy

I over indulged again. Im an awful man for wine and pints.

Clareman

I over indulged on Saturday evening, had to spend the day at a 2 year olds birthday party, it was hell

Slattsy

I dont think i could do hangover with kids, i might actually stop drinking.

You just don't to be honest, drinking becomes an event, the night itself doesn't matter, it's the next day. I used to love pints after work on a Friday but because Mrs. Clareman works on a Saturday I haven't had them in years, just not worth it.

BumperD

I just saw claret cloak won at kempton. That was a long time coming.

Messi eh lads, glorious.

He is a world apart, he made Boateng and Neuer look like lads in the Phoenix Park for the second goal.

Slattsy

Had stag number 2 this weekend.

I'm actually looking forward to not getting out as much once I'm married. Still drink like I'm 21 but jaysis it takes a lot out of me now.

How come some races placed pays 1/4 of the odds and others is just 1/5??

droidman123

handicaps with 11 or more runners pay 1/4 of the odds. non handicaps...group races,listed,maidens etc pay only 1/5.sometiimes at the big festivals some bookies pay a 1/4 for non handicaps

BumperD

Tomorrow is a good example of a race with quirks in the concessions/ terms granted by bookmakers. The clipper at York is a group 2, some firms 3 places 1/5th the odds, others 3 places 1/4 the odds, paddy power and bet Fred doing 4 places, pp 1/5th, bet fred the best at 1/4 4 places but check the individual odds offered as your not going to sacrifice on price for an extra place.

So what's everyone at this evening? Personally I have the child in bed and I've a bottle of wine opened and am going to demolish a packet of tuc with a load of cheese.

BumperD

I am going for a Mexican later with the mrs. I have a mouldy head on me afer being dragged kicking and screaming (!) to a nightclub after downing a lot of beer. Its the first time ive been in one for about 12 yrs & it felt a little weird.

Slattsy

What cheese?

Made chilli con carne and supping wine. Have galaxy bars and doritos. Wedding diet? lol

BumperD

Galaxy bars, cooled in the fridge, with a cup of tae. Food of the gods. I might just have to pick one up later.

Slattsy

They're in the fridge !!

BumperD

Damn it, thats it! I just have to get a Galaxy bar now. And not one of the small ones. I'm talking the 1000 Calorie family size.

Gruyere is the cheese, Merlot is the wine
