Six doubles

1&2 = 299.06
1&3 = 459.10
1&4 = 96.11
2&3 = 1122.43
2&4 = 234.98
3&4 = 360.72

Return = 2572.4 @5p = 128.62

I just worked it out on a calculator but it is a common scam for bookmaking staff to pay you short and pocket the difference. For most other bets there are serveral online betting calculators such as

http://www.bettingzone.co.uk/calculator/

The number of winning bets is Z x (Z-1) / 2

ie
if you have four winners then 4 x (4-1) / 2 = 6.
