All the people who can't finish their crossies post the clues in Q&P, and this ABer called kayakamina just rattles off all the answers, with little explanations.
They do get progressively harder through the week culminating in the Prize puzzle on the Saturday.
Araucaria normally sets a special crossword on Bank Holiday weekends and yesterday's was a cracker - you should give it a go.
I used to rely on Kayakamina for the Times crossword. But now, thanks to his/her guidance over the past year I can usually complete it myself. Thanks K.
Hopkirk,
think of an each way bet as 2 wagers. say you'd a £1 each way on a horse. £1 of that is betting that the horse will win. The other £1 is that it will be placed, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.
If you had £1 ew on a 5-1 winner you'd be paid £5 and your £1 stake for it winning and a 1/4 of the odds for the ew part. £2.25.
