I'm a bit confused how I made the exact same bet as Titch but won less. Last time out I was also a bit confused how I won less off a winning bet than someone with an each way stake too. Not being a gambling man it's possible it's something to do with me not understanding odds or something but I am a tad confused.

20 on Vettel for the win.

I think I will go with 20 e/w on Vettel

I'm a bit confused how I made the exact same bet as Titch but won less.

No you didn't. Titch went each way which doubles the stake. You went for the win only. £20 for the win costs just £20. Going 20 e.w. costs £40.

The e.w. bets are efecively 2 bets. 1st is on the winner only. 2nd is on a place 1-4th at 1/5th the stated odds.
The examples from post 1 are below.

Example 1: Odds of 10-1
A £10 each-way bet on a 10-1 selection in a race and paying 1⁄5 the odds for a place 1, 2, 3 or 4 would cost £20.

• Returns on the win part of the bet would be £10 × (10/1) + stake = £110
• Returns on the place part of the bet would be £10 × ((10/1) × (1/5)) + stake = £30
• Total returns would be £110 + £30 = £140 if the driver won the race, but just £30 if the driver only finished second, third or forth.

Example 2: Odds of 5-1
A £10 each-way bet on a 5-1 selection in a race and paying 1⁄5 the odds for a place 1, 2, 3 or 4 would cost £20.

• Returns on the win part of the bet would be £10 × (5/1) + stake = £60
• Returns on the place part of the bet would be £10 × ((5/1) × (1/5)) + stake = £20
• Total returns would be £60 + £20 = £80 if the driver won the race, but just £20 if the driver only finished second, third or forth, meaning you would break even.

Example 3: Odds of 2-1
A £10 each-way bet on a 2-1 selection in a race and paying 1⁄5 the odds for a place 1, 2, 3 or 4 would cost £20.

• Returns on the win part of the bet would be £10 × (2/1) + stake = £30
• Returns on the place part of the bet would be £10 × ((2/1) × (1/5)) + stake = £14
• Total returns would be £30 + £14 = £44 if the driver won the race, but just £14 if the driver only finished second, third or forth, meaning you would be down £6 from your initial stake money.

Ok I think I get it. Thanks for clearing that up Greenlantern101 - excuse my ignorance but the song the House of the Rising Sun always scared me off gambling.

40 on Hamilton e/w

 

[cider_and_toast]

Thanks to the new 'always have some cash coming in" rule, it's time to take a big risk.

£50 each way on Kimi.

Let's get some action going here.
