    You need to select a Caulfield Cup winner and a Melbourne Cup winner, then click on Create Multi Bet.

    Can't do it on Player now that CC is Final Field and MC is All-in

    Asked the same question and was told this explanation.

    I explained to them how silly it was to not allow people to place a multi on the two biggest races this spring - but in saying that, corporates also seem to be doing the same thing.

    I didn't place a bet but it calculated me the odds of $77. It allows you to calculate a multi but won't let you place ir? I've never tried placing it.

    You can currently put doubles including the Caulfield Cup into Melb Cup or Cox on most corporates. Just backed Voila Ici into Brigantin, feels like money for old rope to me.

    Can someone explain to me how the corporates can work out their multi prices - here is the example

    IAS have a Geelong Cup/Melbourne Cup same horse market with Gatewood at $17 (so he has to win both races)

    If you put Gatewood together manually (in a multi, from both markets) you get $3.20 (GC) x $21 (MC) = $67.20

    I have just been told that the odds are correct by their traders - now can someone explain to me how my calculator is so far off?

    Its because the double assumes he wins the geelong cup. Its essentially a huge waste of time.

    Effectively you are getting $17 for him in the melbourne cup, assuming he has won the geelong cup.

    I explained that badly but whatever. Why wouldn't you just take the $21 for the melbourne cup then?

    edit #4 i have NFI whats going on

    Exactly Vorg - I kinda thought that's how they worked out the prices, but either way it's incorrect (in that he hasn't won the GC yet) and at the end of the day, they'll probably make a killing off that market anyway.

    At best only one of those horses will get in the Cup and then he has a 1 in 24 chance of winning the MC - good odds none of the options will win.

    I tried to explain to their customer service person, the exact same thing - ie just take the $21 for the MC - but they were as thick as two bricks!

    Then again you can back Gatewood with any other runner in the MC, ie Dunaden and get proper odds, ie $21 for the multi

    why is everyone so concerned with these feature race doubles?

    corporates make money hand over fist with these bets -they must love all the suckers who think they can pick a result weeks in advance

    steady on mary. its the spring carnival, no one is saying they can pick it, but itd be nice to be able to have a go!! It adds interest and for a smaller investment you can win big if youre lucky.

    read the rules at the top of the screen somewhere near the race/date

    it will usually say either "WIN BET ONLY" OR "SINGLE BET ONLY" etc
