    Ok this is unusual but i was given €20 today by my workmate to place on a horse because i live beside the bookmakers and i totally forgot about placing the bet and now the horse has come in. :(

    It was on the gold cu
    10 euros each way
    @ odds of 15/2

    So i am going to have to pay this guy as this was my mistake. What would his return have been from the bookmakers as his total stake was €20

    Thanks


    Ps. before anyone asks yes i was going to return his money :)

    Read "It was on the Gold Cup", plus Imperial Commander was 17/2 at one stage.

    Hardly rocket science to notice who it was on. :rolleyes:

    Maybe see what your mate says...if it had lost he would probably have expected his score back. Know the feeling though. Granny asked me to put a fiver on Silver Birch in the National a few years back but had already been to bookies and couldn't be arsed. Not only did it win at 33/1 but beat mine into second too. Felt bad teling my Nanna I hadn't put it on so handed over more than 200 quid. She hadn't even given me money up front and was asking why I hadn't taken the early price of 40/1 :rolleyes:

    I'd see what he says and maybe pay him a percentage of it if he's cool with it.

    I'd expect my friend to pay 50% of it. Depends on how skint I was though
