How it works
- Every combination of your 4 selections is a separate bet: 4 singles, 6 doubles, 4 trebles and 1 fourfold, 15 in total.
- Each bet returns your unit stake multiplied by the decimal odds of every selection in it. One losing leg makes that bet lose; a void or non-runner leg counts as odds of 1.0.
- Each-way doubles the stake to 30 bets: the place part settles every placed or winning selection at the place fraction of the odds (for example 1/4 odds a place). Bookmaker bonuses and consolation odds are not included, as terms vary.
