GG Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 That isn't how accumilators work though, is it? Your bet accumulates with each selection, hence: £50 on 1/2 & 3/4 will = £50 + (£50 * 1/2) = £75 £75 + (£75 * 3/4) = fuck nars fuck nars = your return This makes no sense to me either. Those are the odds, but don't calculate the return. If you want the overall return (but displayed fractionally), add 1, so in the previous case you'd have 109/32.

GG Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Lanus are 2-0 up and into the second half btw GG. I have them as the first of three in my overnight accy. Yeah, I'm watching it. Stuck £20 freebet on over 3.5 goals on this one - to make the 'worst case scenario' more palatable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Oh, it's 3-0. So now it means that my freebet is closer to being vindicated. (got 6/4 on it, SNR) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the odds, but don't calculate the return. If you want the overall return (but displayed fractionally), add 1, so in the previous case you'd have 109/32. Sure that's right? Picked two random odds on a betting site, 4/11 and 16/5. According to your method a £1 double should return £2.16 (4/11 x 16/5 = 64/55. 64/55 + 1 = 119/55 = 2.163), but the site reckons it'd return £5.73. Hans is right, I just don't think there's a simple way of showing how to work it out. Which is beside the original point as decimals would make it harder to work out if anything.

Anderson Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hans' method's definitely right FWIW. 1 + 4/11 = 15/11 15/11 + (15/11 x 16/5) = 63/11 or 5.7272... which rounded up is what the betting site says. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 It's not as if GG studies maths at uni or anything, give him a break. supposed to be revising for a probability exam right now. How it works, odds of 3/4, 1/2, 1/3 (3/4 + 1) * (1+ 1/2) + (1 * 1/3) = return. Either way. It's not difficult calculation. 7/4 * 3/2 * 4/3 = 84/24 = 7/2. (but the actual odds are 7/2 - 1 = 5/2) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but the actual odds are 7/2 - 1 = 5/2) That works. Also means it's easier to work out using fractions than decimals, take that Sweden. Anyway, maths class is dismissed.
