Messed up placepot slip

StephenInsane

I had a 1 euro placepot slip on Windsor today. I would have won except in the 5th race i wrote down horse 2 (a 25-1 outsider) by accident, when of course i meant to write down horse 12 (hot favourite).

I'm guessing it would have brought in excess of 100 euro. There were two races were the favourites were unplaced. Anyone know a way of calculating how much i would have got.

check the results on text. You'll see an placepot result, if it's, we'll say, 34.46, it means you would have won.......34.46. If you had done a 2 euro placepot...double it..and so on.....

I checked aertel. i couldn't see anything about placepot results.

It was €23.20, as can be seen here. Unlucky man.

Thanks a mill crumbs. I was dying to know what it would be.
I was sure it would be a much bigger sum, 23 bucks is nice, but i can really live without it!

Noticed Brightons placepot was 666.60. A very evil normal, but would have been nice to win all the same. if the Windsor placepot was anywhere close, i would be very upset about my error.

Thats not necessaryly right, are the placepots computer calculated or is it a pool? If it were a pool then the dividend might have been significantly higher if the 25/1 had won.

Dont look at what WOULD happen, it will only annoy you, trust me. I was thinking of putting 50 e/w on Bindari in Ascot at 10/1 but decided not to. He wins, i know what i would have made.....im annoyed!!!

It's a pool, so true, if the 25/1 shot had been placed, it would have upped the dividend and Stephen would have won that (but by mistake). The placepot selection he meant to make however, did come in, and so he would have won €23.20 only for that writing error.

"Tired", yeah...

Lois: You're drunk again.
Peter: No, I'm just exhausted 'cause I've been up all night drinking.
