Stop at a Winner

Section 6
STOP AT A WINNER (or IF LOSE ) - Selections - Any Bets = No. of Selections.
This is a conditional bet. It is governed by whether or not the previous selection Wins. If it does Win, then the next part of the bet is not wanted. If the selection loses, then the next part of the bet is wanted.
Eg. - £2 Stop at a winner
A
B
C
D
The cost of this bet with sels. ABCD = 4 x £2 = £8.
The idea is that if sel. 'A' wins, then the bet should stop there. The settler will calculate the £2 win on 'A' as a normal single bet, and also refund the three £2 stakes from 'B', 'C' and 'D'.
So if 'A' won at 6/1, then the returns would be :-
£2 @ 6/1 = £14 + £2 + £2 + £2 = £20 Total returns.
If, for instance both 'A' and 'B' lost and selection 'C' won at odds of 9/2 , then the bet would be settled as follows.
The bets on A+B are lost,
£2 @ 9/2 = £11 + £2 = £13 Total returns.
