he got 2nd, paid 9.00 to place and 5.80 to show
the winner ran wire to wire in 1st place.
i hope you bet good on place & show.
### - lost my ass this time hehehe...
but for only a fiver as didn't bother covering him for a place/show as
well, it doubles the bet...
i.e., only cover them for a place/show if their odds are really high
(minimum 20/1)
matey would have only paid 1/5th of the full odds for a place = 2.8 + the
stake = 3.8
3.8 x £5 = £19, so a £5 win/place would have cost £10 and only paid £19 (returns less than evens money overall) so didn't bother + only lost a
fiver...
not complaining as he won last time out, bringing me $117 for a fiver!
so am still well-up in his case ;)
will have a go on your inlaws' one today just to test the water, was a non-runner last time out so is still an unknown quantity, but in reality
it's you am backin' not the horse haha :)
let's see what goes down eh? ;)
