Sportingbet Top Tote +, not a bad product but,

I copped some free bets last week so had a go at a few outsiders today placed one bet of $10EW DR Barnard 3rd $4.30c

Ok so it's free bet so you don't get the stake back (fair) so you would think that I should get $30.30 right?............. wrong I got $23.30c . Yes they deduct the losing win bet as well can you believe that? in other words if I'd placed 2 separate bets @ $10 each i.e. 10 win + 10 place I would get $30.30c return, madness!

They are all shonks PP, I am a bit surprised you are surprised tbh.

You've lost me party. Agreed they are all weak as you know what but the result you give seems to be correct.
Outlay 20 and return 43.00 = $23 profit, which you received.

Agree Mark but also see Partys point - it was a free bet so the cost to the punter should be zero.

Either way, I dunno why people bother with them.

Mark, say I have 2 free bets $10 win and a separate bet with a separate ID no. $10 place, ok it runs 3rd and pays $4.30c , ok my win bet is gone, my place bet returns $33. (i.e. $43 less the stake .

thanks for this.
interesting to see where it ends up.
i think it will actually be a test case.

I wrote to Sportingbet and asked how much would be my winnings if I'd put 2 separate bet (i.e. $10 win and $10 place) compared to $10EW they won't answer the question!
