I rather fancy placing a RR bet not having done so for many years....am just wondering if any of the high street bookies would firstly recognise it and secondly know how to settle it. Presumably there's no way this can be placed through an internet account ?

all the high street still do R/R and FLAG bets . sometimes if i can't find 3 or 4 or just do a x/bet with a double thrown in .
I take it you are 87 years old?

^ That's exactly why bookies take these bets, to accommodate sh1te selections like yours.
A round robin is bad enough,but each way!!!!
I think if you try to put one on in a betting shop you have to show id,they have to see that you are a pensioner!

r/r & x/bets are good if all selections win as ur playing with there money are they not ??
Cheers Slippy, used to settle in a shop whilst a student. Old geezer used to come in with a single win bet followed by "if cash" and about two pages of scribble. Thankfully his first pick always lost.
Hang on Stanley Racing used to offer triple odds one winner on a FLAG..
For those of you that use "twitter" that was an extended Round Robin and believe me that was a good offer...
Where are they now....

OK I know that they sold out to Hills and had an agreement that they could not open any Betting Shops for ten years...
But they are back and re-opening soon at a pleasant location near to you..

A few months ago a friend of mine who manages a coral shop rang me to ask if I could settle
a Dundee Shuffle if there were any winners, with trepidation I said yes
fortunately they all got beat.

And that love is why you should be at home cooking and cleaning rather than running a betting shop...
In my time I have settled more Dundee Shuffles than at the Battle Of Culloden....
hft suspect you have a dundee shuffle every night before you go to sleep

Posy, There is always at least one '****' offering an 'Opinion' mate lol
I like a RR whether win or each way gives a bit of interest now and again(especially afternoon in front of the telly) much the same as any multiple.I usually look for a few at 12-1 plus so a couple placed covers your stake and winners(if only lol) are a bonus.
Am off to Sandown in a minut and have placed a round robin with stan james (who have now gone up in my estimation for providing this bet) on Great Link,Greywell Boy and Waldorf Salad.
Pretty awful racing there today but nevertheless always a fun day out.

a waldorf salad is a salad traditionally made of fresh apples,celery and walnuts,dressed in mayonnaise and usually served on a bed of lettuce as an appetiser.hth
They were only ever popular as they were a way avoiding paying tax on part of the bet in 9% and 10% tax days. No rhyme nor reason to do them nowadays.
