Oooh Darlo... I think I missed that day at uni.

My brother in law is a bookie and I've picked up a few bits and pieces though.... what's the problem?

I'm a Maths thicko, I just want to know what they are about .

Well it can all get a bit complicated.... but basically if the first number is smaller than the second that's bad.

I've just had a little look at Cairons odds (I'm assuming this is what sparked the question?) and it looks like he's a gonna. 1/33!!! That means you would have to bet £33 just to win a quid.


Freddies safe.

Cool that makes sense, then you would get the winnings after from the bookies wouldn't you , because you've put the £33 on him to go then you get the pound back.

Yeah... you would get £34 back. Your original winnings and your £1 profit.

You know how odds are always in two parts? Like 2/1 or 7/2? Well the first number is the amount you win for the amount you bet (the second number).

So if you bet and it was 2/1....if you put on a pound you would win £2 (profit) ...if you bet £5 you would win £10 (profit)...etc.

Hope that helped.

Whaat why would you get back the money you bet in the first place? Surely betting is generally about losing money than winning? How do they make any profit?

Because if you win but only got £1 back then you would actually lose £33 then wouldn't ya? That's hardly fair.


The bookies win overall because most people lose and don't get a penny back.
