harry........ when it comes the the horses,your the man..
im in a bit of a pickle
i can work most bets out but seem to struggle with round robins.
eg. 50p round robin is a fiver = 10 bets.
1 x accumulator
3 x singles
3 x doubles
are the other 3 bets 'cross bets' ??
if so , how do you work it out.
do me a favour and work this out. i cant collect my bet till monday because i left the slip at work. i want to kno how much im gunna get.
25p e/w round robin. ( 5 quid )
1st @ 4/1
1st @ 5/1
1st @ 6/1
thanx............

You get a treble and also you need to know whether the races were a 1/4 or 1/5th of the odds as well as you did them each way?!

FYI
A quick way of calculating an all correct Lucky 15.
Add 2 to each of the prices and multiply the numbers, then subtract 1.
Four horses ABC&D
ie. 2/1,3/1,4/1 and 5/1 = )(2+2) x (3+2) x (4+2) x (5+2))-1
= (4x5x6x7) - 1 = 840-1 = 839.
ie
4 singles
A = 3
B = 4
C = 5
D = 6
Singles = 18
6 doubles
AB = 12
AC = 15
AD = 18
BC = 20
BD = 24
CD = 30
Doubles = 119
4 trebles
ABC = 60
ABD = 72
ACD = 90
BCD = 120
Trebles = 342
1 4-Fold
ABCD = 360
Singles = 18
Doubles = 119
Trebles = 342
4-Folds = 360
Return = 839.
