Question

Bet on a horse 5pounds both ways at 10\1 it came 2nd? how much should i get?

Answer 1

It depends on the number of horses in the race and the bookie you placed the bet with.

In a really big race, it's sometimes first 4 and 1/4 odds, so you'd get 5/2 (10/4 - 1) on a place and (assuming you put £5 each way, i.e. £10 in total) you'll get £12.50 back.

Simplest way to find out is to collect your winnings!

Answer 2

you should net anywhere from 5 pounds to 15 pounds.  at worse you should lose 2 lbs to breaking even.  lol :)

Answer 3

so if you bet each way, it aint gonna be much maybe bout 9 quid?..............sorry u wont be out celebrating your winnings
