Was getting battered for the week but then out of the blue i had Hot Weld 5 e/w and 5 place bet on Wolf Creek and lo and behold the whole week is turned around. Should bring in about 240 squid!

Happy man then....

Just the one winner for me in the first race today but only down a few quid really. Looking forward to tomorrow where traditionally I spend more than I intend to and end up with nothing

Just checked there and he's at 8/1 now. It was a week or so ago that I last checked his price. I'm not one for ante-post though.

I dont think a place on Wolf Creek pays out.

Johnny Murtagh - you should have won that race on Golden Cross.

**jorge** · 16/03/2006, 6:00 PM

can someone explain how 'each way' works.

I put a fiver on Golden Cross at 6-1 and Impek at 11-4.Im sort of reggreting not going each way.My very first bet.

**The Stars** · 16/03/2006, 8:18 PM

if i had put each way on every slip I would be up a good bit now but instead im not.
Each Way works like this

open to correction)
If a horse is lets say 5-1 and you put €5 each way it costs you €10.
€5 goes on the horse to win the race and €5 goes on the horse to be placed(usually 1,2,3 but sometimes 4 and 5 if its an extra big field)
The odds are 1-4 of the price if you do it each way so if the horse got placed you win 1.25*€5=€6.25.This changes though depending on what place he finishes ie. second third etc.
If he wins you get €5*5(the odds) plus your place bet.

Jesus, fair play! Placepot paid 920. I got 4 out of 6 of my selections today placed, not that I did a placepot.

Who did you have in the 4.00? That one would have knocked me out of any placepot hopes today.

my mate got a hot tip during the week about Kadoun in the 5.20 today.the guy he works with lives near Noel Meade (who deliberately held the horse back, over the past couple of months)..they were laughing when they saw the odds at the start of the week and laid nice mulla each way..In the end, he won without breaking a sweat.
Ps: he didn't give me the tip, hence why i'm scourring the net for tips for tomorrow(to win back yesterday's wages-although i had a nice win with My Way de Solzen today).
