I must admit Beefy..Tb has some bollix to do that bet ...but then again it goes arm in arm with what he talks most of the time ...;)

That's a proper bet. Well played TB.

Was on Liverpool at evens to qualify against Arsenal, but at nowhere near such big stakes! Last night's win for WBA did their promotion bid no harm either, on them at 1.96 to go up.

I can't work out bets. How much does that give you in return?

£545 odd mate

It's easier to do it as a decimal. 4/5 =0.8

So you get your stake back (£303) plus 0.80 of the original stake (£242.40)

Don't worry, it's only simple maths. Add the numerator and the denominator and divide by the denominator and you're away.

So a bet at 4/5:

4+5 = 9

9÷5 = 1.8

Then multiply 1.8 by whatever the bet was and you've got your return.

The next step is to ignore any tips TTK or me give you. :doh:

To be honest, mate, I would be more tempted to put the same stake on and at least have something to fall back on should you lose. Even the safest bet's risky.

To Illustrate, occasionally, you hear about stories of people losing big such as the guy who put £10k or something daft on Brian to win Big Brother at 1/10 (1.1). One we had last year here was an account who was listening to a race on the radio and after hearing a horse had fallen, offered to lay someone's bet at 999/1 (1000) as is common in horse races. Unfortunately for them, the horse hadn't fallen and a sharp punter took all the money on offer.

Needless to say, the horse came charging through the field and won the race. It was no two figure bet either!

Anyway, the moral of the story is that it's almost never worth placing a bet that will leave your betting fund dead broke.

something daft on Brian to win Big Brother at 1/10 (1.1).

Sounds like a bloody sensible bet to me, as both Brians featured have won their respective series.

Oops, meant the twins. It was all over the highbrow papers on the day of the results, obviously.

Although.....A bad bet given the odds on offer ;)
