    On Betfair lite, it shows Snowy Morning to be placed at 6.2.
    Also shows Comply or die to win at 11.5.

    Can anyone work this out please? £2 bet on each.


    2x 11.5 = 23.00 + 2 stake = £25
    2x 6.2 = 12.40 + 2 stake = 14.40

    so £39.40

    i think betfair take 1.5% comm

    Give them a chance, everyone from MSE is probably trying to access Betfair along with the rest of the nation. Chill out.

    Money will be in there soon enough.

    it was only a question.. you chill!

    Betfair will settle in a few minutes and you will all be able to check your accounts and work out winnings then.

    Hi

    I'd placed all my bets when I decided to mess about experimenting with placing an each way bet. I bet £2.00 each way on Slim Pickings and ended up placing it by accident but let it stand. All my other horses lost but how much have I now won? Can anyone work it out?

    I'm so impatient! Cheers and well done to all winners:beer:

    Looks like I made about £100 between an e/w on comply or die and a place on snowy morning (and that's after fees) just waiting for betfair to update now.

    Then the £30 from quidco on top of that - what an absolute result. Big thank yous to Martin and to Betfair from me too

    Betfair take 5% commission

    It will be slightly altered though if people have bet on more than one horse as commission is paid on net winnings - and some bets will have lost.
