Did your bookmaker pay something different?

Type what they paid in total (stake included) and I will look for a simple reason.

What the bookmaker paid (£)

How it works

Each-way. A win bet and a place bet. The place bet pays a fraction of the odds (usually a quarter or a fifth) if the horse finishes in the places. A winner gets paid on both.
Rule 4. If a horse is withdrawn after you bet, the bookmaker takes pence off every £1 of your winnings (never your stake). The amount depends on the withdrawn horse's price. Rule 4 explained, with the full table.
Dead heat. If two horses finish level, your stake counts as half on each, paid at the full odds.
Non-runner. A horse that does not run is taken out of the bet and its stake comes back (decimal odds of 1.00). A Lucky 15 with one non-runner pays like a Lucky 7: the same seven bets on the three remaining horses.

This calculator is for information only. Your bookmaker's own rules decide what you are paid, and some pay extra or work things out a little differently. Odds shown are examples, not a forecast or a tip, and it cannot promise any result.
