Unfortunately not because it is a stakes about bet

The non runner gives a return of £10 but because it is a xxx bet it gets placed on the loser

If the other horse had won it would have been placed on that

I had years and years arguing with punters about this rule

crossed bets are good when you get 2 winners

What is the difference between a normal double and a CROSS double?
Report dod • January 17, 2012 1:02 PM GMT
£10 down on single
£10 down on double
£10 back on non runner
Real difficult one this

I will adjudicate !!

If you wrote 2 £10 singles and a £10 cross double you indeed will get £10 back void.

However I think that what was suggested to you was a cross bet as the old suckers like to punt.i.e £10 up and down (or single stakes about. SSA) And a £10 double.In this situation you would not have a return as any to come (ATC) from the non-runner is invested on the loser.Re 545APG

Despite years of settling many thousands of such bets I still do not know why some people complicate matters by writing cross double.

It's just the same as a Non runner in a Round Robin and 2 losers

NTC - Nothing To Come

Just for the record you can't cross a double - it is the singles which are crossed
