Pay out query

[boobietwops]

Hi all, it's not often I bet on the nags I'm more of a footy guesser but today just messing around I followed 3 online tips & placed a £2.25 EW treble on bet victor.

1st horse won 8/1

2nd horse won 11/4

3rd horse was placed in a 5 horse race at 7/2

bet victor paid out £18.51

according to a bet calculator app I always use the pay out they calculated was around £15 or so!

Please, you'll have to excuse my extreme naivity but I was obviously thinking I've got 18quid on a 11/4 & 67.50 going on the final horse, try not to troll me too much guys, obviously the gee gees are not for me :/

Pay out is about right, well it is right.

All three have to win for the 'Win' part of the treble to come up so in affect you have a 'Place' treble up only.

The odds would be a fifth or a quarter depending on how many runners in the race so you wouldn't get the full odds to your stake.

Trebles are ok when the all win, not much use when they don't. It was unlucky though.
