Visited a few bookmakers and I wanted to do a combination forecast and a combination Tricast

Most of the assistants didn't have a clue what the bet was ( 6 times your stake) and the three horses or dogs you pick can come in at any order ie 1st 2nd or 3rd)



Is there a way of writing out this bet so they will understand it ???????

This is a basic bet and most bookies here should be able to take it. Perhaps the shop you've placed in has a (backward) automated system. Certainly, the bookmakers at the Celebrity in Lapta can take that sort of bet.

And spot any racing form papers on the wall for the tourist ?



Gordon, I reckon the Celebrity in Lapta should invest in a few lights going down stairs to the bookies, it's like walking through a pitch black tunnel , next time I'll wear a miners hat !!!

Happy Feet

I only bet derby, cheltenham etc but i use the green one by Lemar in Karakum and you get a personal form book and they understood clearly all the bets, and were very helpful.

It would be no good writing it down so they understand it as they would not be able to give odds.
