Rev forc payout

How do you work out REV forc

Winner at 7/2
second at 6/1

[Win2Win]

You need the bookies formula but it's a secret, so just check the SL/RP results

[vegyjones]

It's

(7/2 x 6/1)/2

- 50% (for expenses, and a deposit on that Red Ferrari I saw)

= A pittance!

Reverse forcast is TWO bets

[GlosRFC]

Marcus is correct - a forecast is a bet in which you predict the first and second horse/dog/runner etc in the frame, e.g. 1st = No Effin Chance, 2nd = Didn't We Come Close.
A reverse forecast is where you predict the first and second runner but to finish in either order, e.g. Bet 1 would be as above but Bet 2 would be reversed i.e. 1st= Didn't We Come Close and 2nd = No Effin Chance. Hence you shell out for two forecast bets.

If the payout is £23 as you said then that's what you will receive for each £1 staked on the winning bet but your equivalent stake on the second bet is lost.

As for calculating the returns that's anyones guess although, if you try a search on the forum, a number of members have come up with very close approximations of their own. However the actual payout is normally posted up shortly after the race is run.
