Last week I backed Brian Davis EW @175/1
He finished equal 4th with 6 others.
How do I calculate the place return?

Assuming that there were only 4 places being paid out, you need to divide your stake by 7. What is left is staked on the place odds. eg, if £1 ew at 1/4 odds, you would be returned £6.39.

You should assume five places at least.

I think 2/6th's of your bet is a winner so... settle accordingly.

(2/6) * stake * decimal odds = your return

because they wont let you bet plaice only Sad

Sure they do. You just take reduced odds.

You could always back E/W and lay the win part on here if the price is close enough.

If i was a bookie i wouldn't accept plaice only.......i would keep the plaice and eat it later but still demand cash.

if you were a bookie you could call youself skibet

i expect it would be downhill all the way if you didnt accept plaices Mischief

If you just sole-ly want the plaice part, you don't have to flounder around doing that Crows as it could be a red herring anyway. You'd have to make a snapper decision and shark around for the best price, even then, you're skating on thin ice and you'd be lucky to fluke getting rid of the win part close to the betfair price. My advice would be to scale your bet accordingly and sea what happens further down the line in the tournament.

You are responsible for this donny!Happy

I'm thinking of backing that Ernie Eels, bit of a slippery character though.
Report Sports Fan March 28, 2012 3:44 PM BST
Yes, I think he's a good bet for the Shell fish Houston open, him and Char Schwartzel, I think the South Africans could batter the opposition if they hit it straight, avoid the hooks and chip well.  In Seacily I like Victor Dupoisson.

You're right, those chips are definitely an important part of the recipe.

I think its 2/7ths
so if £1 e/w you would get back £13.50
@ 1/4 odds 5 places
Report CrowsEye March 28, 2012 4:31 PM BST
My apologies, goobarr is right. I thought Brian Davies was included in the '6' you mentioned for some reason.
