For Sale...

One set of principles, hardly used...

Right, let me make this clear... I don't approve of horse racing - I think it's a barbaric sport, and betting on it only makes one lot of people wealthy, and that's the bookies.

But... I did spend £10 putting 4 each way bets on the Grand National...

And... I think I've just about made my money back, because one of my horses ("Slim Pickings" - so chosen because that was all I had left in my purse after I'd paid out my tenner) came in 3rd.

So, can anyone tell me how much I've won, because I don't understand how this betting lark works, and I've not been to pick up my winnings yet...

£1.25 each way (making £2.50 bet) on a 33-1 odds horse...
