    For each way

    Quick bet - pick a horse and take e/w SP (this will shows as unmatched till race start)
    or
    Put half the bet in the win market (ain 16.15) and half in the place (ain 16.15 placed)

    OK, so you need to split your £13 over the 5 horses in the 'To Be Placed' market, which is in a scrolling menu on the left hand side. There are 2 entries for the 16:15 Grand National, the second one being the To Be Placed market.

    Hi - froggy-girl128 thanks for replying to my last post - have now found the place section but when I click on it it still says in the left hand box that "you are betting for .... to Win" even though above it says place bets on the tab and "4 to be placed".

    Sorry for being thick but really getting very confused!
