William Hill New Horse Racing Offer

Um Jon did you lay at 7.2? If not then you need some maths to figure out the rule 4 deductions.

Yeah someone needs to look up Rule 4.

William Hill odds are no longer 7.5. They may still show it as that but realistically Rule 4 is in play and your odds have decreased to around the same lay on the Exchange.

If it wins Hill will recalculate and pay you out at around 6.0.

Ah, I thought only the exchange recalculated! How do I work out William hills reduction factor?

Think the horse was groundunderrepair? 3 non runners giving a combined 21% rule 4 deduction. Jon, your William hill bet will payout less, whatever you do don’t be tempted to lay more money at BF, if the horse wins you will have a shortfall.

Rule 4 is the most common occurrence in horse race betting, as others have said it’s worth reading and understanding it.

BTW, in another post you mentioned that you don’t use Smarkets because they don’t use pay pal and you don’t want to use your current account.couple of options, you can deposit with neteller or skrill or you could open another current account that you use only for your betting activity.

Thanks for that OrlandoSteve, the issue I have with neteller or skrill is to spend any of my profits it needs to go back into my bank account as nowhere accepts skrill/neteller, then I’d have to explain why I’ve got money from skrill and neteller going in. The beauty of PayPal is that now I’ve got a large float, my PayPal account is effectively a separate bank account that retailers accept so there is no PayPal activity at all on my current account and I can actually use my profits to purchase things.

Separate bank account is a great idea but I have a feeling when they credit check you for a mortgage it will show ALL bank accounts linked to you, then I’d have to produce bank statements and end up with the same problem.

Hopefully they will introduce something similar for the flat season… (maybe a shorter winning distance).
