    I really like Mikal has a horse - but he isn't the same since he's come back.

    He has to be one of the lays of the day at 8/1 or 9/1

    What are ye're thoughts on Sizing Europe placing? Very tempted to stick him in my accum but I'm worried he might miss out completely.

    Already have Oscars Well, Time For Rupery and Chicago Grey.

    Can somebody please explain an e/w accumilator to me.

    I just normally stick to single win or each way bets.

    But feeling greedy today and put on a 5 horse ew accum. D

    So the question is this, say some of them place and some win do I still get the win odds or do I just get the place odds?

    Thanks

    You have to decipher between E/W and win. There's a box beside "Accumulator" (assuming you did it online), if you tick that you're having an E/W accum and if you don't you're expecting them all to win.

    Its each way, I did it in the shop.

    So does that mean that if they all place or win I get a quarter the odds?

    What is the word about Alfa Beat? I can't see why he's fav ahead of Chicago Grey. Makes no sense. I am always tempted as much as anyone to buy into the hype but I manage to restrain myself most times. Chicago Grey has the best form in the book and should be favorite. Thats that.

    Thats that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,848 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    alpha beat was 4th for anyone getting four places 11/2


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner


    Having a small e/w on Megastar as well as So Young in the next.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,957 ✭✭✭tinofapples


    I'm hoping for :

    First Lieutenant @ 13/2
    Time For Rupert @ 9/4
    Big Zeb @ 3/1
    For Non Stop @ 11/2

    E/w Lucky 15

    If 4 of them win and 1 places it'll only pay out as e/w for all of em, all 5 of em would have to win to get the full odds

    Oscars Well 4th :(

    Thought he was going all the way, a bad landing wrecks the accumulator. So disappointed.
