Good Luck guys,and if you have the time, could you tell me what your bets mean.

[les303]

Firstly Jack, i should just clarify that your bets are $20 each way in races 1 & 4 & $20 win in race 2 ?

My $40 all up bet just means that both of my selections either have to win or run a place for me to collect.

And Jacki's bets obviously mean that if either of her selections should drop some manure while standing in the barriers & the stewards deem it to be smelly then she collects with her on the nose bets.
She also collects if they win the race.

[Ozzyjack]

I thought $20 win/$20 Place was $20 each way and $20 win and no Place bet was $20 win.

[les303]

G'day Jack, i noticed your post on my way to bed last night & could not resist a quick if slightly sarcastic reply.

Jacki's $50 on the nose bets are just another way of saying $50 a win.
Of course manure has nothing to do with it, that's just me trying to be funny.

A clearer way to explain my $40 all up bet ;
I have $40 a place on Lord Belvedere, if that horse finishes in the top 3 then that dividend is automatically reinvested into Fiesta to also finish in the top 3 at the combined place odds of 5.62

You are correct in what you say about your own bets, it was just that you normally phrase it differently so i was just making sure that i was interpreting it correctly.

Anyway good luck too all, here are today's starting balances ;

Looney Les ---- plus $319.90
Lucky Jack ---- plus $086.00
Ozzyjack ------ minus $139.00
