The 2011-2012 Betting Thread: Last call for 2011/12 football, pretty much

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.

Ah right, cheers :thup:

 

Probably easier that way

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.

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.

Yeah, I'm talking bollocks. I'll work out how it should work.

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)

4-0, you got your 3.5+ money too then. Canny.

 

Yep, wipes out the liability owed by laying on Lanus. Who cares about maths when I have gambling... right?

That works. :thup: Also means it's easier to work out using fractions than decimals, take that Sweden.

 

Anyway, maths class is dismissed. :lol:
