🎲 Daily Double — Friday 23 October 2026
A bit of fun for a bigger day — two short favourites we also rate top of their race, in one win double.
How it's doing
🎈 A fun bet, not a profit tip — it lands often but isn't our flagship pick (that's the Nap). Tracked honestly anyway.

What is a double bet?
A double is a single bet on two selections, both of which must win. Your first winner's full return is automatically staked on the second, so a double pays far more than two separate singles — the flip side being that if either horse loses, the whole bet loses.
My Daily Double pairs the two shortest-priced horses I also rate top of their race — the ones most likely to actually win — so it lands as often as possible. It's a bit of fun for a bigger day, but I don't dress it up as profit: like most short-priced multiples it runs around break-even, and my flagship pick remains the Nap.
Frequently asked questions
What is a double bet?
A double is a single bet on two horses that both have to win. The first winner's return is automatically staked on the second, so a double pays much more than two separate singles — but if either horse loses, the whole bet loses.
How do you choose your Daily Double?
I pair the two shortest-priced horses I also rate number one in their race — the selections most likely to actually win — so the double lands as often as possible.
Is the Daily Double profitable?
No, and I won't pretend otherwise. It lands often and is a fun bet for a bigger day, but like most short-priced multiples it runs around break-even. My flagship pick is the Nap.
What does a winning double return?
The two horses' decimal odds multiplied together. For example, a £1 double on two even-money (2.0) winners returns £4.
