CAREFUL FOLKS!

Not sure if it's just me, but my tip odds are rounding down to the nearest whole number on the confirmation screen.

E.G. A 2.63 tip is rounding down to 2.00.
A 1.73 tip is rounding down to 1.00! Very Happy

Anyone else having the same problem? Luckily I noticed BEFORE I hit the "Confirm" button.

Zipster thanks for your reply,

but surely the stake to be subtracted from
the £541 should be £250 as this was the place stake, leaving a return of £291?

22/1 divided by 4 (1/4) = 5.5

5.5 X 250 = 1375 + 250 (stake) = £1625

£1625 divided by 3 (3 in dead heat) = £541

**** Minus you £500 stake = +£41 ****

Regards
Stringfellow

P.S Sorry for being a Pain Embarassed

You return was 541

You stakes 250EW = 500

Profit is 41

Zipster · Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2008 6:23 pm Post subject:

Nope you bet £250 ew which means the total of your bet is £500, only £250 of you bet counts as a winning bet, the £250 ew...£250 to win and £250 to place, so you £250 to place wins @ 5.5, the £250 to win is a lose. Once all the calculations are done you still minus £500 because that is what you have bet overall and you do not include your stake when working out a profit.

Yes the bet would of returned £541 but you original bet placed was £500 so you have made a £41 profit from the bet.

Hope you understand this cause i got confussed half way through it lol

Ohh I HATE Dead Heats Mad

It's a very dissapointing return for the investment! The Bookies have fairly covered themselves well!

Thanks Antony & Zipster for your replies and explanations (and your patience)

Win

Hi Antony (or anybody else who can help),

I have received a Topic Reply Notification type e-mail for a thread that I was watching, but when I click on the link, it says 'The topic or post you requested does not exist'.

Is there a rational explanation, or is it perhaps an error that is of potential interest?

I think I've just realised the answer to my own question.

I knew you could edit posts, but I hadn't noticed that you could delete them. Embarassed

Hi guys!
I'm fairly new to the website and I think it's awesome.
I have a question:
When you add a tipster to "My tipsters" is it possible to edit what kind of tips I want to see.
For example I would like to see only the 1X2 tips from tipster X and only the NHL tips from tipster Y.

Thanks

not atm, suggested it a long while ago and i think its on the list of things to do when tipster alerts are modified.
