By the way I can spell, but when I wrote eggspurt the way it should be spelt all I could see was a lot of stars.Anyone know why this is.

If the TAB declares a dividend of $2 and you have a winning ticket for $10,000 then you won't actually be paid only the $2 - i.e. lose $19,998.
The Results screen says odds - (decimal rather than fractional implied).
So you know that need to multiply those odds by your personal stake to calculate your personal return.
In that 1st4 instance there might have been multiple winners for different amounts - so it would be difficult to declare one amount to satisfy all.
That e-word is apparently considered bad form. As is the inverse of "god".
But intriguingly using an anagram of "etcher of murk" is encouraged, provided that's directed at me.
