Straight Forecast Double
- A Straight Forecast Double is a bet where you choose four selections from two events (2 selections in each of the events). In both events your selections must finish first and second in the correct order. A computer-generated straight forecast dividend is declared on each of the races (see Help, 8.20). In order to get a return, you must pick both the first and second placed selections in the correct order in each race.
- Bet returns are calculated by multiplying the two dividends together, which gives the return for a €1 stake. The final payout is then calculated by multiplying this figure by your placed stake.
For example:
You place a €0.50 bet on a Straight Forecast Double
If the two dividends were €11.50 and €7.00
The return for a €1 Straight Forecast Double is calculated as 11.50 x 7.00 = €80.50
Therefore, a successful €0.50 Straight Forecast Double would return
€80.50 x 0.50 = €40.25
