I've had a punt Blousie.
I got 11/1 and I've stuck a fiver on it each way. You'll find out if it was worthwhile later on.

There are some fantastic deals around for folk opening online betting accounts at the moment.
www.freebettingonline.co.uk/

Remember to read the terms and conditions though - it is rarely as straight forward as the flashing ad-banner suggests!

I do enough gambling with my love life Jeff so I don't want to start chucking money into the equation.

Were you a fan of the series?
I loved it when it was on.

No! can't say that I was.
I can't remember it to be honest.

that sort of thing is just asking for trouble for me
this £5 each way is a break from the norm, and am only doing it because I have some spare cash from my bonus and my gut is telling me to do it.

If you bet each way Gonz then you're a winner.

bear in mind that £20 was your original stake
so you won £22. still good though

Yup, deffo.
Well happy.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 13 Jun 2011, 19:58, Reply)

It means that half of your stake was placed on the horse finishing in the first 3.
(Assuming you bet each-way) making you a WINNER!

How comes my 'main balance' is still 0?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 13 Jun 2011, 19:55, Reply)

It depends how much you put on.
A each-way bet is made up of two parts. Half of your bet is betting on the horse to 'win' and the other half of your money is betting on the horse to 'place' (in this case, as there were 10 horses running, the bookies pay out on the first 3 past the post) based on the horse finishing 3rd, you'll get one quarter of the odds for the portion of your bet that is allocated on the horse getting placed.
