Anyone else bet on the golf and feel a bit cheated when you get more than 5 players in the places and what could have been a 50/1 winner only pays out at 11.75/1?

I know they are the rules but it just feels harsh!

It's like that for everything RD - if there were a 3 way dead heat for 2nd place in SL (everything identical) you'd get 1/3 of your stake as 2/3s was a losing bet.

Does seem harsh but can't expect the bookies to pay out to everyone on everything

Flanagan in the last at Stratford - 4's with Stan James is a good bet. Fav has poor form and he's from a top and underated yard. Get some Cheltenham money in.

Biddick is a useful jockey too IMO.

Clipped into 7/2, Martin's had his 50p e/w on

Multiply by about 20 and you're getting there

I know, i think it just seems more of a bugger on the golf for some reason. Probably because its bigger odds. Guess the pillock shouldnt have dropped a shot at a crucial moment near the end

Opened a bet365 account yesterday, put £50 on Hull KR -6 and Leeds -4 double, paid £172

Now got a free £50 bet to place

Any good tips for me to throw it on?

Save it for Chetenham mate, whatever you do don't bet it today.

365 are 1/4 1st 4 on the Champion and Supreme Novices tommorow.

Look for concessions ie. 5 places in the William Hill Chase too.
