Many years ago as a second settler in a busy northern shop I remember these were a nightmare to settle. They were similar to a round robin with the SSA element but, I think they featured more selections. Does anyone know how the bet was structured and if anybody still does it.
BTW, SSA and ATC must be a lot easier to settle in this era of GPT. Settlers today can never have it so good

The Management-As I recall the diagional red line started in the bottom left hand corner and was drawn through to the top right hand corner! Perhaps you or your tutor are left hookers?
Said Shuffler was only 85 when I knew him-or maybe I started in the game before you? Windsor circa 1972 Good Post. |

The other way to settle these was to see how many won, quick look at the odds & just make up a number in pence that was less than the stake.
Never a complaint. |

4 selections combined in 4 full stake Singles Any to Come a half stake Trixie on the other three, 6 half stake Doubles Any to Come a full stake Double on the other two, 4 half stake Trebles and each way half stake Accumulator. (16 bets, 4 at full stake and 12 at half stake, e.g. 4 x 50p + 12 x 25p = £5 stake). |

Great replies, thanks. Yes The Management; I seem to remember that policy usually worked. Could never really figure out when the bet would actually be more profitable than doing a trixie or a patent for the same total stake.
