Er,  Mr Yeovil.

I wouldn't want to be organising this, and I'm doing crap, and I know it's for fun,  but I can't see how 125 Oevils e/w on Wichita Lineman translates to 2062.50 winnings for Arriba  (shouldn't it be half that ?)

Tell me to stop interfering if you like....

[Arriba]

oi fuck off you nosey cunt.
e/w pays the win and the e/w bet. aint worked it out though

[ronnie21]

There's got to be a joke there somewhere?

[nevillew]

go in.select the horses you want to bet on then write them on the slip.if you go e/w it doubles your stake.internet betting is easy and it is a step by step thing which gives you all betting options ie accumilators.yankees etc.plus some give you free bets when you register.i use sky bet

Yeah sure,all you have to do is fill out a slip for example

£2 e/w        United               cheltenham 4.40


 stake box should be here >>>>>>>>>>> £4.00
________________________________________________
e/w is example as above or you can just do win if you prefer,ew will give you Quarter the odds place money providing it's an handicap race.16 or more runners will give you the first four places,non handicaps will only give you the first 3 at a fifth the odds no matter how many runners.

if united won at 4/1 you get a £2 win and a £2 place,if united just gets placed you only get the £2 place  money at the odds of 4/1

thats if your going into the bookies other than that set up a telephone account or do it online,I mainly use my telephone account.

I think it means it's winning but the jokey isn't using the whip i.e. coasting the horse to victory. I could be utterly wrong though, as I thought the term ws ridden out or something similar.

Its when the jockey is low down on the saddle of the horse to try and get maximum effort from the horse.  The jockey will also use the whip to hit the horse to try and gain a positive response from it.


In general if your horse is one of the first to be ridden along, then that horse is unlikely to win unless it keeps on well for presurre.  However there are loads of horses which look to be travelling really well, but when the jockey applied pressure to the horse, the horse finds little under pressure.
