If Tim Henman wins your return would be 210 ( 200
winnings plus your 10 stake returned).
Each Way
This is two bets: a bet to come first, and a bet for a place. 10 each way
costs 20 i.e. 10 for each part of the bet. The number of valid places (also
known as the 'range') is always declared. If your player comes first, both
parts of your bet will win. If your player gets a place only (e.g. 2nd or
3rd), the Win part of your bet will lose, but the Place part will still win.

Example Bet:
If Pete Sampras won the game 3-2, your return would be 50 ( 40 winnings plus
your 10 stake returned). Any other score and the bet would lose.
To Win
This is a bet to win a championship, where a number of players are competing
to come first. For example, a bet on who will win Wimbledon is a Tournament
bet.
Example line:
WIMBLEDON

The payout for the Win part of the bet is based on the full price quoted (in
this instance, 20/1): the payout for the Place part of the bet is determined
by the split, and is calculated as a fraction of the full price (in this
instance, 1/5 x 20/1).
If Tim Henman wins:
10 to Win on Tim Henman 20/1 = 210 payout including your stake
10 for a Place on Tim Henman 20/5 = 50 payout including your stake
Total return =260
If Tim Henman finishes second or third:
10 to Win on Tim Henman 20/1 = lose
10 for a Place on Tim Henman 20/5 = 50 payout including your stake
Total return =50
Multiple
A Tennis Multiple bet
involves several different selections of Standard bets and can be on more
than one championship. Each selection must win for the whole bet to win. The
minimum Tennis Multiple is 2 players, and the maximum is 8 players.
Tennis Multiple payouts are calculated by multiplying the price of each
individual proposition in the Multiple.
Example bet:
A three player Multiple stake on Agassi, Pioline and Hingis with a 10.

If all your selections
won, your Total Return would be:
1.2 x 2 x 1.8 x 10 =43.20
In other words, a 10 wager would return 43.20 including the stake.
If one of your selections becomes void, the Multiple drops down to the next
number, e.g. a three team Multiple becomes a two team Multiple; a two team
Multiple becomes a single bet. If one of your selections loses, your whole
Multiple will lose.
