There's a betting term regarding bets, I think I've inadvertantly placed a bet and I think maybe the bookie could void the bet and refund the money. There exists a bet that bookmakers dont take or dont permit.
Say a horse is entered in a big prestigious pre-Derby trial race and is fancied to win it. You usually wont be given odds on a double on the Derby trial and the Derby where the odds will tumble once the horse would win the pre-Derby trial. You wont be given the full odds - I hope this makes sense to you good folk out there.
There's a name on that type of bet.....
Boookies usually dont take them.
What's that type of bet called, does anyone know?

Four teams for example left in a cup semi-final round.
If you fancied one team to (one) win out their semi-final and (two) outright win the competition.
If the team you fancied was rank outsiders at 8s to win outright, lets say, if you wanted to place a double on a win in a semi-final and double it taking the 8s to win outright, bookies dont take those doubles. Obviously if they won the semi-final they by now wont be eight to one to outright win. 

A bookmaker wont take that type of double bet.

What's that type of bet called?

(Thanks in anticipation...)

Oh BJG: you think that's it...

I can simply show the docket to the office and ask 'is that being settled as a related bet'?
It's a huge and great bet if it came up.

Of course you can back a horse to do the Guineas/Derby double.

They allow these bets but you can't multiply the odds.

It is called a related bet.

Not sure about the soccer equivalent but I know you can't bet Man Utd to win 1-0 and Rooney to score the first goal at full mulplied odds. You get a watered down version.

What is your bet?

The term used is "related contingency" I think
