marty I live near Newcastle racecourse, they are all donkeys in there so keep your cash ha ha.

I dont know the exact formula and i suspect few do but one winner at 5/1 will reurn your stake making it an attractive bet i do ew round robins and had some nice wine one winner will give you a return

The Round Robin is a bet based on 3 selections and features a combination of different bets, 10 in total. These comprise 3 double bets, 1 treble, and 3 up-and-down bets (2 bets each). To illustrate how it works lets consider selections A, B and C. The double bets are AB, AC, and BC, the treble is ABC. An up-and down-bet is two bets in one and it works by placing the winnings of one bet against another and the reverse. So the up-and-down bets in this case would be the winnings on A placed on B, B placed on A, A placed on C, C placed on A, B placed on C, and C placed on B.

[owdhamer]

sorry sibton still no wiser i will stick with 1 winner a return i do remember years ago some bookies would not accept the bet and very few would accept an ew rr

[Psybbo]

I agree owd, I stick to e/w Lucky 15s, a bit disappointed now Wm Hill only give a bonus of 2 instead of 3 for one winner (which is usually all I can manage)

[stokemaveric]

The round robin, and in particular an each way round robin used to be a bet settlers nightmare, in the days when it was all done manually. The easiest way to explain it, although Sibton, does it perfectly, is to call it an "if cash" bet. Even when the settling machines first appeared in the offices, the round robin was still quite complicated to settle. Good luck for tomorrow!

not a bad day outlay £25 return £34 small profit
