Betting odds teaser...

[Moshe Gariani]

What does the bookie do with fractions... for example 21.6666 from the first bet?

Do you round it up/down and then calculate the 2nd bet? or put the fraction (to how many decimal places?) on the 2nd bet and then round the final result up/down??

No decimals involved in traditional odds and calculations...

If my first bet was 100/30 my 5p would become 21.666p

What would the my stake for the 2nd bet be?

return from 100/30 and 3/1 is calculated as 130/30 x 4/1 x stake (£1 returns £17.33)

Is the answer to this extremely annoying question 1/1000 and 40/1

 

[Pickles]

17/2 & 100/30.

 

[Seat Stealer]

[Titanic]

17/2 & 100/30.

205.8333333 ... do they round it down?

Is the correct answer - Well done - That's 20/21 & 20/1

Do 20/21 qualify as 'traditional' bookies odds?

 

[Seat Stealer]

yep, take a look at the football coupons for your 20/21

 

[MattBackHome]

17/2 & 100/30.

Pays £2.06?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

4/1 and 36/5 should do it.

Do 20/21 qualify as 'traditional' bookies odds?

I'm not sure I remember ever having seen 20/21.

 

[Seat Stealer]

no 36/5 (eight years working in a bookies and i have never seen that)

 

[Da Man Clay]

I'm not sure I remember ever having seen 20/21.

Quite often in football bets.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

20/1 and 20/21

Yes. Well done. "8 years working in a bookies" gave you a bit of an advantage..!!

It is, as has been reasonably demonstrated here, a decent "teaser" for the average punter.

Only because 20/21 is a ridiculous answer. Never seen John McCririck tic-tac'ing that one on the Racing Line... 'on the shoulders' 'double carpet' etc...

Honourable mention for a clever answer but not sure how many traditional bookie shop bets have ever been made at 1/1000 ....
