Interesting question, why the convention has arose that British horse racing exclusively deals in positive integers when quoting prices. One possible reason is that they could display these on a board with less ambiguity. (6.5 to 1 might look like 65 to 1 otherwise) Another being that it disguises how much the punter is getting shafted.  |

Sorry Boldie but that is utter rubbish mate; it's just not practical to chalk up 5+1/2/1 as opposed to 11/2. Or 1+3/4/1 instead of 7/4 for that matter. It's simply a case of the easiest and clearest way to chalk up the prices, and it being easy to work out how much takes out £100. |

Just a suggestion as the forum stuff seems to be a lot of hassle that boldie & Kin etc don't need....
Why not just create an email group with all the members addresses and ping out one email every time a bet is due to be placed to that?
So much easier than this 3-phase pm's or constantly breaking forums and password locked blogs etc
