I bet on this horse e/w and it finished 3rd but I lost my money. Is this correct?
Or is it because there are less than 8 runners?

It is indeed, if 6 run you only get 2 places. 8 or more you get 3 places and if it's 16 or more and a handicap, 4 places. More of a worry is the fact your betting each way on a 7/4 shot!! |

Ha ha! Don't worry too much. I don't really need the money in the game, but I thought it would finish second behind my other one that won. Got run out of it by a 3miler though. Strange because the 2nd had won 3 NHF races over 2m5f, 2m7f and 3m1f so I have no idea why it was running over 2m! |

my advice is to back a horse ew at 5/1 or above well 8/1 is my minimum but at least with 5s you get your monay back at 1/5th the odds or make a few quid at 1/4th |

Yeah I know how it works in real racing. I just could have sworn that in the game it was different. Although the betting has changed in the new version...?! |

Bookies may run promotions (ie 5 places, better EW terms etc). |
