Wouldn't odds for runner up be better as half odds to come first as in each way?

 

[aditya]

Then it will be very less.The money which will be put by everyone will be blocked till the end and so they should get rich dividents for it.So i think the odds cannot be less than $2.

But the bookies do it like that for a reason. Personally again the odds are far too tight, and not worth betting on IMO.

If you lengthened the "to win" odds, then each way being half odds would work fine.

well i will take $1000 on Karnakata winning div 3 and $2000 on them being runner up

 

[masterblaster]

I will place $50 on my team (somerset) to win the OD Championship from here on!!!

*****It was a joke by the way*****
