Hi,

I'd like to point you to horse racing results... This site has an arbitrage calculator - which is what you need to work out your question.

Horse 1 - 48p stake @ 6/1 - Return of £3.36
Horse 2 - 28p stake @ 11/1 - Return of £3.36
Horse 3 - 20p stake @ 16/1 - Return of £3.40
Horse 4 - 05p stake @ 66/1 - Return of £3.35

Hope this helps :wink:
