can anyone help with returns from a bet please.
i asked william hill for !0 pound up and down and 10e/w double. both won 10/1 and 13/2.
i think hills settled as two singles and the e/w double. i was under the impression that on and up and down the stakes is doubled in theory.

can anyone advise ?

If your bet is a crossed double you are correct.Not familiar with term up and down.

Up-and-Down
An example of an 'if cash' or 'any-to-come (ATC)' bet. A wager on two selections and consisting of two single bets. If one selection wins (hence the phrase 'if cash') then the original stake is placed as an additional single bet on the second selection. If both selections win each original stake is placed as a single on the other selection: in effect giving twice the winnings for just two stake units. The downside of only one winning selection is that both original stakes are lost.
Usually played for 'single stakes about (SSA)' meaning stakes identical to the original ones are placed on selections in the case of one or more winners. 'Double stakes about (DSA)' means twice the original stake is placed on selections in the case of one or more winners. Note: an odds-on winner will not supply enough money for 'double stakes about' so the whole amount actually available is used.

alot of these types of bets are dying out ,round robin,trixie,cross doubles etc etc,because the shop managers arent the settlers,so theres no dicussion,debate about these types of bets,alot of the new staff dont know most of them and all the new customers wont,so they will slowly die off,a shame but  i suppose if not popular then its life.
