Same Horse Doubles

Hi Clanners.

Just a heads up with regards to Same Horse Doubles (example: ESPUMANTI to win the BW1900 into ESPUMANTI to win the Durban July), these bets can only be laid at our branches or our Call Centre. Unfortunately the 33% deduction feature is not available on our website or mobile, hence why no same horse doubles can be laid via these platforms.

Please call 08600 46559 (Hollywood Call Centre), quote your account number and PIN, and our team will be able to assist in getting your bet on.

Thanks
Hollywoodbets.net Team

The long standing practice of bookmakers applying a deduction on same horse doubles is a complete rip-off. Their argument that the horse will shorten in the second event is nonsense , as they get the benefit that all bets rolling onto the rest of the field make up for this.

Especially with horses that meet each other every 3rd week

But I suppose laying a double like the above on unexposed horses would be very stoopid

Complete Kak, ill never ever tk a bet like tthis, if u like a horse 2 win July, u rather tk any other horse 2 win small races on2 it. This 33% deduction is kak, so u get penalised 4 chossing the right horse. The hol point of a horse getting claimed is because some1 got on earliy, so u get penalised 4 picking a horse EARLY that can win a mini feature and the big 1. Bookies are rip offs!!!!!!
