Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.

The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

So you could in theory hold on and see if the horse gives you a better return with a second run. But you don’t get two payouts.

NordRunner 23 Jan 3:03pm, 23 Jan 2025 4,941 posts	Quote Pin NordRunner I have another suggestion. Would the leaders' (betters') table be more realistic if it were based on credits including bets placed but not yet settled (i.e., won or lost)? At the moment the betters on the table yo-yo up and down depending on what bets are outstanding. A better reflection of leaders would be a kind of «total wealth» which could include credits at risk because they are placed on a bet. Kinda like if one declares total wealth for tax, it includes money on the stock market, where we know money can later be lost as well as won.
fetcheveryone 23 Jan 3:08pm, 23 Jan 2025 31,511 posts	Quote Pin fetcheveryone I could add it as a column I guess. I've been meaning to add some kind of monthly reset. But rather than stealing everyone's hard-earned credits, I thought I could take a benchmark of your wealth on the first of each month, and then sort the table by the percentage return on your wealth. A percentage rather than an absolute figure, as I'd say it's harder to make 100 credits when you've only got 1000, compared to the already-wealthy.
