[Scottish Dave]

32 x 2.56 = 81.92

let me fully explain the maths here tighty

2.56/1

32 (stake) x 2.56 = 81.92
81.92 + 32 (stake returned cos you won) = £113.92

let me say this again mate, re read my original post PROPERLY and you'll see its 2.56/1.......as in £10 on 6/1 chile to beat spain, doesnt return £60, it returns £60 + £10 stake = £70

[TheChipPrince]

Had a small bet on Denmark, plus a Treble with Denmarl, Brazil and Spain!

Thnks Dane's!!!



Ill be busy today but will be on the pub tonight for the Spain Game (hopefully make it down for the Brazil Game too!)

so £32 on Brazil / Spian double @ 2.56/1, for £114

Seems like strange maths.

why? cos i said £114, instead of £113.92

Should be 3.56.  Although 3.6 is currently available.  

reread my post, i said 2.56/1, which is the odds on Bet365 when you double these 2 teams, do i need to explain this to you's i thought you's were all gamblers?

incase you didn't know 2.56/1 is the same as the decimal price 3.56

I getcha, just ppl associate decimal, 2.56 etc with betfair, so when you write 2.56/1 its sometimes mis-read.

it appears to work. now all you need to do is find someone to put the right numbers into it for you

[Scottish Dave]

also Brazil are almost 2.56 themselves to beat Portugal.

Id have to be as bad a Gambler as Ole Blatchy Pants to get 2.56 on the Double!



Thread back on track

Come on Brazil!!!!

[Murph1984]

I've never in my life heard anyone with any betting knowledge say anthing like 2.56/1.

It's either 3.56 or the equivalent fraction,you can't be mixing the two imo.


Anyway on Spain @ 1.56 and Ivory Coast -1.5 @ 2.08

You mean 0.56/1 on Spain....

speak to the customer support at Bet365 then, cos it was them that offered 2.56/1 (in there own words) on the bet slip when i added Brazil and Spain onto it.

So either you are wrong or they are wrong, i think ill go with the respectable Betting site on this one.

(and yes, i think the words 'Respectable' and 'betting site' can go on the same sentence together)

[TightEnd]

I think the problem Dave is people assumed you were using Betfair terminology eg 2.56 = 1.56/1

No problem though, understood now

[mondatoo]

Overactionaments shock from Scottish Dave

No worries mate, we sorted that one out.

Murph seems to think im incorrect to say 2.56/1, im just informing him that i think bet365 are a more reputable source of info that Murph, and so save me working out the fraction is just posted that figure as it was both easier and more accurate that saying 64/25
