thanks for your response

partypooper: my recollection of this bet is that the bookie multiplied the odds as i indicated 5x8=40 so $5x40/1=200 plus your five =$205 this was identified as one bet.

i see you have multiplied 5x5=25+5=30 then 30 x 8 = 240 + your 30 = 270.

what you are describing is an all up bet where you bet one first then decide the next one.

becareful: you are referring to an all up bet as i described to partypooper.

Now i stand to be corrected but i tend to recall this as one bet so if you had a horse in the first race and one in the last then the odds were multiplied not the amount bet.(every race was on display)

The odds werent as generous but with the multiplication of the odds could net some good returns for modest outlays.
