Stupid Questions

Easywork said:
Evening all. A mate of mine wants to put on a couple of festival lucky 15s with Paddy Power's NRNB and has asked me what will happen in the event of non runners. Embarrassingly, I don't know the answer and can't make sense of the explanation on the PP website.

Assuming he did a 1pt lucky 15 and one selection didn't run, would this effectively become a 2.14pt Patent? Or would all bets involving the NR be voided and it became a 1pt Patent with 8pts returned even if all selections lost? Or would it be something else entirely?

Any help greatly appreciated. FWIW, my mate is the unluckiest bloke on Earth and has never had an ante post winner at Cheltenham. NRs are probably his best hope for a return!

Yeah Kev has pretty much covered it.

But say your mate had 1 non runner, for the sake of it was ?1 lucky 15 (?15) he would get ?1 back then the rest of the bets would still stand, the 4 fold would be trebles, trebles - doubles and the doubles - singles.

If NRNB, they get 'voided' so any doubles with the voided horse would be singles. And trebles in the yankee become doubles...and the "4-fold" becomes a treble..... then 'single' on that horse is returned.

Cheers Guys, very much appreciated

More importantly, if your mate is a desperate tipster, please give us the names of the horses he's picked for these L15's so that we can all avoid them.
 
Is is patron or patreon?!

According to Kev there are about 170 regular contributors on here. As someone who works in advertising to create a nationally representative sample of the UK population you need a minimum of 1,000. And that's before you add in the biases of a relatively niche sport.

The forum doesn't really actively recruit people either - it's probably just not that known

No such thing as Male/Female in 2021 sir, all just “Fat jockeys”

There’ll come a time we’ll be forced into a name change too as the over sensitive brigade are no doubt offended.

Rotundly Challenged Jockeys ?
Overweight pilots ?

It was assumed by some that I was chick, in part due to the name but also the fact I right proper and use punktuation :p

The user name is fictitious from the film Semi-Pro for anyone interested.
 
I'd be willing to be female for the right price, but you can make your own sandwiches.
 
Isn't Pendil a female ?
Kev called her Jenny the other day.

Haha no, I assume it was a typo though - as I don't know :)

Gem is one although not been on for a while that I've seen.

There are a couple others I know of but there could be more, it shouldn't make any difference whatsoever, I've never had to mention I'm a boy :biggrin-new:
