Reference:
Shabby is favourite to go. Bookies have her odds on (which is very short.) Then their second choice to go is Dave - slightly better odds.Sunshine is the outsider of the three and the least likely to go (according to the bookmakers prices.)

Ok but what does 8/15, 7/4 and 8 mean?

If i put a quid on shabby to go and she went, how much would I get back?

Evens  (or 1/1) means you put on ÂĢ1 and get back ÂĢ1 if you win - plus your ÂĢ1 stake.
2/1 means you put on ÂĢ1 and get back ÂĢ2 if you win (plus your stake)
3/1
4/1
the longer the odds the more you win
100/1 - for ÂĢ1 you win ÂĢ100.


Again starting at evens (1/1)  if the odds get shorter (which means the horse is very well fancied)
for instance 1/2 means if you put on 2 you only get 1 back.
1/5  means you put on 5 and only get 1 back.

(These shorter odds are known as "odds on", and the longer odds are known as "odds against"

The first figure is how much you win / the second figure is how much you put on.

(winnings/stake)


Gosh! It is hard to explain. I don't know if this helps or not. It gets complicated.
