I've got a £10 e/w bet on Ten Down (evens) at the Windsor 2.30, if I don't get something from this i'm giving up gambling for a week.

Why each way? If it is less then 4/1 and odds only paying out 1/4 off the odds, anything shorter and you will make a loss if it gets placed.

It needs to be 7/1 @ 1/4 odds to even break even...

1/4 of 4/1 (5) is 1/4 (1.25)
1/4 of 7/1 (8) would be Evens (2)

... unless they use some odd system to work it out!

DJP is right. 4/1 on an each way bet at quarter the odds will recover exactly your total staked.

£25 e/w at 4/1 = £50 staked

4/1 divided by 1/4 = 1.

1 x £25 = £25 'won' + £25 stake returned = £50.

Obviously if its a fifth the odds you need 5/1 or better to break even.

£10 e/w on a horse at 4/1 is a £20 stake.

If the horse is placed – the pay out is ¼ of the odds.

¼ of 4/1 is 1/1 (ie evens)

£10 place stake at evens returns £20 (including original stake)

edit - sorry - just noticed above post

Looks like a decent shout- definitely wouldn't rule out its chances. Unfortunately no way of me getting to a bookies for it - or being able to bet online.

Having said that I'd maybe end up swaying between a few others as well (Nusoor and Figaro Flyer would hold some appeal) so maybe its not a bad thing.

Just out of interest, what do you all use to watch/listen to races on the net?

Sporting Life website for me. Only check it for prices/racecards and results though. No sure if theres a commentary/video option.

Efistorm won that 4.15 @ 7's.

No harm done- or at least not in my case.

Didn't actually realise it was a 5f race. Not my favourite to get involved in.

I also listen to most races on sporting life. Or just check my results on there when at work.

Sander Camillo at the Newmarket 3.45 is by all accounts a dead cert, but looks too short at odds of 4/9 to back. It's probably for the best.

It was for the best. Finished 2nd at 4/7. I hope you weren't tempted by those 'better' odds.

Was going to back Yageen in 4:55 at Newbury. Got info about this horse on Tuesday. But it is now odds so not going to bother. Good luck to anyone that does.
