Congrats on your win!
Did you put €900 on it? Because that would have been epic.

Right, someone explain to me what "each way" means. I don't understand betting jargon. Also, if it's 33/1, does that mean you get 33 times your bet, bringing you to £165 (33x5)? I am clearly simple to the ways of gambling.
Congrats on your win!!

each way means backing for a win and a place ie if yr horse comes in the 1st 3 you will collect but only a fifth of the odds. therefore i collected 33x5 plus 1 fifth of that again. clear as mud
