can sum1 PLEASE explain the place accumulator to me?

here's scottsville from yesterday:

Place Accumulator 3-9
1st Leg : 1,4,10,11,12
2nd Leg : 2,5,6
3rd Leg : 4,5,6
4th Leg : 2,4,5
5th Leg : 2,10,11,13,15
6th Leg : 1,2,4,5,8
7th Leg : 1,3,9,14
Net Pool = R 787004.23
Tickets = 33241.38
Dividend = R 23.60

Now, if i chose two possible horses, and in leg 2 and 5 ony one of my choices came in, do i still win? and since i chose 2 horses for my pa and it cost me about R125 for example, do i only get a payout of R23.60?

please explain it as if i'm 5 years old, i'm really having trouble wrapping my brain around it.

hey..it works like this...yes ur pa will still be in, because u gota have atleast one of the numbers in the leg..if you have more than 1 horses that comes in in one leg, it multiplies.for example, u hav 2 and 5 in the 2nd leg and 2 and 5 in the 4th leg, then ur pa is in 4 times. then u multiply the total payout of the pa with 4 and then u multiply that amount with ur percentage.

The P/A is for people who are uncertain about many things in life including horse racing which is why they select one or more horses to come in the first three positions past the post opposed to selecting winners as in the Jackpot and Pick Six bets.

In order to win the P/A they have to do so in all 7 legs (races) which make up the bet.

If you have selected a horse and it is on your ticket and it is scratched then it will count as if it came in the first three positions for that given race.

Many punters play this bet in a straight line meaning that they only select one horse per race after carefully studying Computaform. meaning that if they win then the bet is multiplied by the amount of rands they spent i.e. The P/A pays R100 and therefore a R20 straight line would pay R2000-00

In this regard playing a straight line P/A, Jackpot or Pick Six is dicey at best but is the easiest way to explain the bet. You will have a better chance of winning if you select more then one horse per leg but the bet will become progressively more expensive with each extra horse you choose to come in the first three.

If your horse is scratched it is replaced with the Tote Favourite who in turn as to run in the 1st three for the PA.

This is how our operator explains the bet to all newbies !

Replaced by the tote favorite? Then why when P/A results come out it includes the scratchings as winning numbers? As in the jackpot and pick six?

if your horse gets scratched, the favourite in the race must come in so dat ur scratched horse can be in. it isnt replaced by the tote fav.. if the fav doesnt come in, neither will ur horse

Okay that's very interesting ... I never actually knew that! Thank you

wow, thanks guys and girl
i tried googling it but this explanation makes more sense than theirs, ta.

The place accumulator is many punters bread and butter, many ppl and the site will agree with me.. It allows u 2 choose many horses per leg and only to place!!and also multiplies as pper ur combinations..when played correctly and structure accordingly it is a fantastic bet that can reap rewards!!

Me,I'm more of a winner punter, never ever caught a PA so stay away4rm it.lol. Well tha cz I only played it like 2tyms.

And yes ur scratched horse gets replaced by tote favourite

and in 5 & 6 horse fields is it the first two places that only go through?
and in the case of a six horse field that ends up with 4 runners...only the winner?

I plays PA's all the time and i am still never sure..

as proven earlier in this thread.. i am no expert either but i am quite certain that no matter the size of the field the p/a is always the first three.
