    I had a treble on Mexico (@ 6/5 ) e/w at the Gold Cup (they won), Switzerland U21 @ 8/1 e/w in the u21 (they came second) and Uruguay @10/1 to win Copa America.

    I put down a 5 e/w on them all to win. If they had all won it would have returned 600.

    Mexico won.
    Switzerland came place.
    Uruguay are through to the final but lets assume they place as well.

    How much do I win?

    cheers

    Presuming e/w is 1/2. You get €240.

    the 5 e/w, i meant 2.5 e/w equating to 5 in total.

    i can't believe i only get back 55 euro when the 600 is the max i could have won.

    You must remember that your each way treble is effectively 2 bets.

    You had a 2.50 win treble and a 2.50 place treble. As soon as 1 of the selections fails to win, the win part of the treble is a loser.

    So you are left with a 2.50 place treble at much shorter odds.

    I got my hopes up that since the potential winning was around 600 that even though one lost, I would still get a couple of hundred.

    55 euro is nothing. means f all to me when i thought i could have had a couple of hundred.

    Yeah, I get your frustration. Best be hoping that Uruguay don't win so, as that'd make it harder to swallow.
