I'm hoping this returns me to winning ways...

this is getting beyond a fucking joke now.

Betis' last 2 matches have SEVENTEEN goals in them. And there's only 2 in this game against a side that is 2nd from bottom as well as Betis themselves having one of the worst defences in the league.

Takes the fucking piss. One goal away. AGAIN.

Tottenham and Liverpool BTTS 10/17

Everton and Arsenal BTTS 5/7

£10 @ 2.72/1 = £27.20

I'm going to be that one who is REALLY picky about this but 2.72/1 would actually be 3.72, so your odds are actually 1.72/1.

Sorry, you've lost me there?

2.72/1 as a decimal is actually 3.72.

I'm assuming you don't know how decimal odds work here. Basically if the odds are 3.72, then £10 would return £37.20, as the decimal is just what you times the stake by to get your return (should it win).

So if you put a tenner on a 4/1 for example, the decimal is 5.00.

So yours, which returns £27.20 from a tenner, makes the decimal 2.72, and the fraction would actually be 1.72/1.

Ok, so is this what you mean? Just put it in a betting calculator.

You've kinda thrown me out a bit, I assumed it is in a fraction because the two original bets are in a fraction no?

Yeah so your original post, the returns would  be £37.20 not £27.20

Oh, ok. So I've typo'd then and included the profit but not the stake back as well which has confused things?

Been following this little debate. At those odds, the winning Everton v Arsenal bet would turn £10 into about £17, then the winning Tottenham v Liverpool bet would change a £17 stake into about £27.

We do, but it's £17.20 you've won because your bet is 1.72/1.

Sorry, is that the profit?

I'm just confused now because I thought you and Stan said it was £37.20? Sorry if this is all me, I literally am unsure of everything now xD

£10 returns £27.20 which is a profit of £17.20 plus the £10 stake xD.

I said £37.20 because you posted it as 2.72/1, when it isn't, it's actually 1.72/1. That's the error.

It's OK anyway. Decimal odds aren't too commonly used over here. I'll always instinctively use fractions but I think decimals are actually a bit better, easier to work out.

Decimals are so much better than fractions. Whoever even came up with the idea of representing odds with fractions instead of decimals is an absolute mong because even as a maths teacher I have to so serious maths gymnastics to work out what return I should get off a 2 fold bet, or to work out whether 4/7 or 7/11 is better odds.

Decimals are so much easier, literally just multiply your stake by the odds.

Yep, it's ridiculous. I always use decimal odds.

Let the table slip again. Will get it up a bit later on.

Mine for this week is Wolves (QPR away, 6/5) and Bristol City (Sunderland away, 15/8). The latter I think is an absolutely mad price.

£10 returns £63.25.
