Betting on the neddies.

[Vince Hilarious]

Any gamblers out there answer this for me?

Over the weekend i decided to do a bit of online betting with William Hill.
I did a trixie ew 50p stake, total stake £4.
I had a second and a winner and only got £1.05 back.
I emailed W.Hill and they said the races had a rule 4 ruling on them.

What the f*uck is that?

The rule 4 is a betting rule laid down by the Tattersalls Committee.It addresses the problem of horses being withdrawn just before the start of the race.The bookmakers do not have enough time make up new SP's so the rule 4 comes into effect.Money staked on a withdrawn horse is returnable to the punters.The shorter the price of the horse the higher the deduction.

Rule 4 Deductions.
