madras Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Is it? I normally bet in decimals rather than fractions so may well have got it wrong. The way Google told me to calculate it says that for a quid bet I'd get £1.75 back, and assumed that included the original £1. Either way, they've replied saying those odds are correct. Insane. if it's 7/4 then your profit has to be more than the original stake, as in stakeing £4 gets a profit of £7. and aye, s**** odds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 £1.75 profit. Not good odds however you look at it though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Aye. Cheers for the maths lesson, guys. Really should learn fractions tbh, just find decimal so much easier though. Either way, not touching that shit with a bargepole, like. Just don't get how Drake managed to get 16/1 and I get that. Different companies or not, it's crazy that there's that much of a disparity for such a bet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Best Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Jesus, what a mental difference in odds. Haven't placed my bet yet so hopefully they won't realise the good value haha. Try speaking to an online skybet customer advisor about it, get the HBA odds and then see whether the other companies will match/better 16/1...

David28 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Ooo, first time I've been on Bet365 in a while.. like the new layout. Aye, had a peek when David mentioned it. Disappointed I blocked myself from signing up again for at least 5 years I was enjoying that similar layout when they first introduced it to In-Play. Really? Why?

wormy Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 In a half cut stupor a couple of nights ago I decided to chuck 8 quid on an in-play handicap double involving teams I'd never heard of. Shit myself the next day when I remembered. Luckily I had a whopping 10 quid sat in my account when I had a peek. Read it and weep, mofos. Read it and weep.

wormy Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Well in, son, well in. I've kept the William Hill email where he confirms those odds are correct for a giggle now and then. Unreal. Having a deeks at what's on tonight, see if there's anything to waste. Got a 4 fold on the opening of the Scottish calendar with Rangers, Aberdeen, Motherwell and Dunfermline.

wormy Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Fucking dicks. First competitive season bet and I'm fucked in the early kick off. I now remember why I walked the fuck away from betting halfway through last season. Oh, and Ginola. Cough up. Jon pulls out of the piss up, I win by default.
