One was the 9/1 winner , one was the close second, one was unplaced. Only the horse that was second was a losing bet. I made a nice profit on the winner, and got a free bet refund on the unplaced horse. I backed the winner of the last at 10/1 last night, and even though it shortened to 13/2 at the off I was paid out at 10/1 due to the 'best odds guaranteed' offer. All I can say is thank you to the real mugs for enabling the bookies to make these offers .
