    Reverse forecast payout

    What's the payout on a reverse forecast - is it a multiple of the straight forecast dividend?

    Example - I'm paper trading something that put up a RF yesteday that came in with a winner at 4/5 and second at 15/8. The straight forecast dividend was 2.67. What's the RF payout?

    Still a little ignorant in these areas, despite being around here for a while. Perhaps some of you pro bods can help.

    The payout is the same.... but it's 2 bets instead of one, so double the stake.

    A Reverse forecast is essentially 2 bets.

    If you fancied Horse A and Horse B to come first and second, but you were not sure what order - you could do a RF. It would essentially be:

    1) A forecast bet on Horse A coming first and Horse B second
    2) A forecast bet on Horse B coming first and Horse A second

    Obviously, you lose one of your bets automatically. The payout will be as normal on whichever forecast came in.

    It's also the biggest betting rip-off you can get.

    You get a 66/1 in 1st & 2nd, and you are lucky to get £500

    Its worse than that...coz that 66/1 winner should be 100/1

    And it's that "say it like it is" advice that sets this forum apart from the others. Thanks Keith , I'll ignore the RFs from now.

    If you do want to do these it's generally better to go for the Tote version rather than the bookies one - usually better payouts, especially if there are bigger priced horses involved.
