There is no reason why the fun bit doesn’t apply to all of the areas covered by LayBack4Fun but here we are going in with the attitude of “pull the handle and see what happens”.
In this section we will concentrate on trying our luck on cheap and easy multiple bets that you can do on course or wherever. We are not going to cover long winded bets that take a more than a bit of understanding to make head nor tail of, or what is required for the bet to actually pay out. We are going to stick to bets that are simple to understand and simple to place and most importantly, cheap.

We will be sticking with 7 types of bet; the place pot, the accumulator, the double, the treble, the Heinz, the Canadian and the Lucky 31. These are fairly easy to put together and mainly involved clicking the selections and then choosing which type of bet we are going to us.

The easiest and we imagine, most popular multiple bet at a racecourse is the place pot. If you can fill in a lottery ticket, you can have a go at a place pot it is that easy.
If you are at the course you just collect a place pot ticket, which looks just like a lottery ticket with the first 6 races on the card making up the sections. You choose a horse for each race (by its number), select your stake and hand it in at the Tote cashier’s window. It will cost £2 and if you get each of your selections in the places on these races, you win whatever is declared as the payout.
This figure can vary from a few pounds to hundreds, depending on the number of winners.
It is also possible to select more than 1 horse per race but then you are faced with a decision on whether to increase your outlay or reduce the possible value of any return.
This type of bet is also available online at either the Tote, a Tote linked Betting Exchange or a Bookmaker’s site that carries Tote bets.

The accumulator is pretty much how it sounds; it covers a minimum of 4 selections in different races and rolls up the winnings as it goes along. If any one of the selections loses then it curtains for the bet, but if it goes well then the rewards can be well worth the effort.
This is our favourite type of bet as it can be as low as the minimum bet the bookmaker or exchange will allow and makes for an exciting bit of fun. You can make it into an each-way affair that gives the safety net of allowing a few placed runners in exchange for a smaller potential payout.

The double is putting 2 selections together from different races. You can also make it into an each-way double but again it will mean a reduced potential return. The reason for using the double is it will increase a return from low priced selections. The odds are better for the simple reason that there is an increased chance of the bet going wrong as both selections have to be successful either as win only or each-way, depending on which type of bet you have selected.

The treble is the same as the double but with an additional selection, this can also be made an each-way bet.

Heinz: A Heinz consists of 57 bets involving 6 selections in different events. The bet includes 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 fourfolds, 6 fivefolds and an accumulator. A minimum of 2 of your selections must be successful to get a return.

Lucky 31: A Lucky 31 consists of 31 bets involving 5 selections in different races. The bet includes 5 singles, 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 four-folds and 1 five fold. Just one successful selection will produce a return.

Canadian: A Canadian (also known as a Super Yankee) consists of 26 bets involving 5 selections in different races. The bet includes 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 fourfolds plus an accumulator. A minimum of 2 of your selections must be successful to get a return.
