Stupid Questions

1. It will become doubles & a treble on the remaining horses.

2. I’m surprised they took that bet off you!

It was in shop, otherwise it would have been blocked online I’m sure.

Thanks for responding - so to confirm, I will just have a single for the stake?

One winner in a lucky 15 pays as a single. You can ask them to void the bets with the horse out of the same race but not sure where you'll stand with that.

I went into a shop today to put a few ante posts on. I have a ticket of 40/1 She Wears It Well for the Mare's Hurdle. There's no chance I'm going to be paid out on that as it's clearly a mistake. The guy behind the counter wrote the price on. What do you reckon, should I go in tomorrow and point it out so I get the 12/1 it should be or let it ride and see???

I think System collects the price of that horse when bet placed, not sure how though but you won't get 40s, unlucky

No, the betslip is time and date stamped, if/when they see the error they will settle at odds at the time, 12/1, so if she wins at 4/6 you won’t get paid at SP, you’ll get the 12s…

He's entered the name and it's pulled him through to the odds for the Champion Hurdle I suspect. As long as you've written Mares Hurdle on the slip then they should pay out based on her odds for that race at the time your bet was placed.

Id go back and tell them

Itll save you a lot of hassle if she wins in march

I don’t agree because there is a very small chance it slips under the radar and your 40/1 voucher is honoured.
The default (legal) position is the 12/1 she was quoted at the time you placed the bet and the bookie will know that…

I've seen a few posts about non-runners in multiple bets and I wanted to re-share some advice I gave many moons ago when the cash out concession started up.

Although it takes time and patience, I place all of my ante post multiple bets as single lines, rather than wrapping them up in the predefined multiple bets like Trixies, Yankees and Lucky 15's etc. I only do this where cash out is offered and the reason for this process is flexibility. If you use a wrapper and one of your horses in the bet gets injured, changes target or proves garbage, there is nothing you can do and you have to let the whole bet ride. However, if you place each line as individual bet, you can then cash out the unwanted lines and leave the ones you like rolling.

Something to bear in mind for those of you who like a multiple bet and have cash out accounts available.

Great advice that Jackie, and something I started doing after you first brought it up

100%. I did it for the first time this year and it's already helped me out as I was able to cash out French Aseel from a yankee type bet including Gerri Colombe, Buzz and Galvin (the latter two significantly shortened now) so I've still got the trixie from the other three at prices I wouldn't have been able to get now if I had to re-place the bet.

This is a really simple but highly effective strategy and one I had never thought about! But now I know, it will be used for all future bets. Thanks so much!

Presumably this is why some bookies offer enhanced terms if you have just one winner in lucky 15s/31s, I think Betfred do treble the odds others double odds, whether this applies to ante post bets I have no idea.
Cashout, as we’ve said in here for years, is gold, protect those accounts !

Jackie, can you dumb this down for me as I'm not following the part with single lines.
