    Decimal odds tell you what you get back total, including what you bet. Fractional odds just show your profit.

    So 5/1 is actually 6.00.

    No it isnt.

    If you put a dollar on something paying 8-1, you get $8 back.

    not a second thought in putting £100 pounds sterling on Fung Lakes. 8-1 is a bit to generous IMO.

    8-1 for them to at least reach the quarter finals would be fair though.

    You make $8 profit, but you get your dollar back as well.

    No you don't. $8.00 plus the dollar invested.

    If I was betting in the UK and put 1 pound on someone to win at 8-1, I would win £9, as the original stake is returned.

    **Crowley beat me to it**

    It actually depends. Some bookies have now gone to 8-1 = 8.00 to save the hassle.

    I don't think so. We have Eggman who is epic, Storer is underrated with the ball, and Smith and Darts aren't too bad really.

    Lol. If they want to do it like that they should just list the decimal odds, that's why they were invented.

    This is why most places changed it to decimal currency.

    Wherer most bookies = all.

    First game of four nations i put ten bucks on Bmoz to be first tryscorer at 8.50.

    It said on the ticket the return was going to be $85

    $8.50 and 17/2 (8.5/1) are different though...
