Can you work out this bet please?

Question

william hill - i had a 50p lucky 15

1 winner at 7/1 and a non runner

what will i collect?

Answer 1

£8.50

Answer 2

you wint get £8.You'll get about half of that,£4,if lucky! Post answer when you collect so we know whose right!

Answer 3

You'll collect £8.50.

50p on a non runner, you get that back.

50p on a 7/1 winner = £4

And a 50p double 7/1 and non runner=£4

The original bet was 50p on each horse and

6x50p doubles

4x50p trebles

1x50p quad.

The 50p on the non runner IS returned.  The total return from that bet is £8.50.

Answer 4

9.50

Answer 5

£8.50.ADAM^^^^,look again mate.The £7.50 is the total stake,lol.

Answer 6

No Elroncupboard is wrong by 50p as you wouldn't get your 50p returned on the non runner, it would get put onto the only winner you had at 7/1 thus giving you a double at 4.00, and your only single win at 7/1 wins you £4.00 also.

If you had 1 non runner and no winners, the 50p would be returned on the 4 x singles side of the bet, buts as one horse won  the 50p goes onto give you 1x double.  You can't have it both ways.

EDIT:  22.53 Sunday

I think the heat has got to me and I was thinking of a Yankee not a Lucky 15 Sorry.

You do get your extra 50p for the non runner on the 4 x single bets.  Apologies Elroncupboard was so right.

Maths never was my best subject (lol)

Answer 7

Elroncupboard is right.

You'll get £8-50

Answer 8

JUST FOR THE RECORD AND TO STOP THE UNCERTAINTY THE TOTAL RETURN ON THIS BET IS £8.50

THE BET IS A 50p LUCKY 15

4 x Singles

6 x Doubles

4 x Trebles

1 x fourfold

1 single winner at 7/1 = £4

1 non - runner single returned stake 50p

1 win double = nr and 7/1 = £4



Total Return £8.50
