Daft question - why do bookies use 6/4 and not 3/2?

 

From wiki:

 

Fixed odds are not necessarily presented in the lowest possible terms; if there is a pattern of odds of 5–4, 7–4 and so on, odds which are mathematically 3–2 are more easily compared if expressed in the mathematically equivalent form 6–4. Similarly, 10–3 may be stated as 100–30.

Cos they're cunts.

 

Decimals for me, cos I don't do fractions in my head quick enough.

To the average punter with minimal knowledge of betting, 100/30 looks more appealing than 10/3. Half of my mates who have a casual bet don't understand fractional odds.

Have something on England today and just done a 30€ accy on England / Russia / Portugal / Italy to win their next game each. Returns, a lot.

 

How much is a lot? It sounds like a worthwhile copy bet.  :shifty:
