How the bets are settled
Each of the fifteen combinations is its own bet at the unit stake. A combination pays when every selection in it wins (win part) or places (place part), at the product of their odds; a non-runner counts as odds of 1.00, so its combinations carry on without it. The table under this text lists the full-cover bets and what they contain.
Reading the result
The top figure is the total return, stakes included, with the total staked and profit or loss under it. Bookmaker bonuses and Rule 4 deductions aren’t included, so your bookmaker’s figure can differ. Maths only, not betting advice. The second table shows how the return grows with each extra winner when every selection wins at the odds this page opens with, win only at 1 a bet.
