Talk:Glossary of bets offered by UK bookmakers

Merger proposal

I am proposing to gather together the disparate pages that currently exist within Wikipedia on the subject of types of bet and provide a single definitive page. AirdishStraus 17:48, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I think this is probably a good idea. Some of the disparate pages are quite short. Rray 18:23, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Support over future questions of notability would be welcome if it came to the crunch. AirdishStraus 18:56, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I have now merged the Heinz (bet), Trixie (bet), Treble (bet) and Double (bet) pages into this article after no objections were forthcoming. I will leave the tag in place for a short while longer unless anyone else wishes to remove it in the interim. AirdishStraus 10:51, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Union Jack

The article states that "It is possible to get five winners from the nine selections and yet still not achieve any return." I think I can one up that: six winners without any return, as shown below. Or am I missing something? (Could be, I'm only passing by).

Yes, you are correct. When writing the article I only mentioned 5 out of 9 because it is the first case of "more than half winners and still no return" (although I didn't actually explain this). I will include your six out of nine in the article. Many thanks, whoever you are! (You didn't sign your post). AirdishStraus (talk) 11:56, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Clarification needed

The whole "Place" section is murky, but specifically what does this mean: Less than five runners: all up to win - i.e. the horse must win, but the odds for 1st place are the same as the win odds. To a betting neophyte such as myself "1st place" appears to be the same as "win", so what's the difference between "odds for 1st place" and "win odds"? 86.172.93.226 (talk) 22:58, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—^{cyberbot II}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 00:13, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
