'up the arm' 'burlington bertie' ... oooh now what is 20/21...?

not sure that odds of 21/20 has a well known name - maybe we should dub it "iceberg" ...?

8/1 and 5/1

 

[Titanic]

8/1 and 5/1

Pays £2.70

 

[sydney]

5p x 8/1 = 40 p , 40p x 5/1 = 200p + 5p stake.... that's how doubles work here mate.

 

[Titanic]

5p x 8/1 = 40 p , 40p x 5/1 = 200p + 5p stake.... that's how doubles work here mate.

(5 x 8/1) +5p stakes =45p
(45 x 5/1) +45p stake = 270p

or using Moshe's formula... 9/1 * 6/1 * 5 = 270

 

[sydney]

(5 x 8/1) +5p stakes =45p
(45 x 5/1) +45p stake = 270p

gotchya...you don't get yer stake back at all here , let alone twice.....

Are odds different (typically longer) then ?

 

[Mackenzie]

You put 5p on a double

The bet wins and you are paid out £2.05

What were the individual odds of the two winners?

(no cheating)

Evens and 20/1 would return you (£2.10 and) £2.05 profit from a 5p stake.

Is that near enough?

You wouldn't need a tic tac for 20/21, not that you need one now anyway, it would only be used as an SP returned in the unlikely event of a similar number of layers offering either Evens or 10/11 at the off. It would never be chalked up on course. The same principle as 85/40 and the once seen 75/20 (27 years working in a bookies)

To correct you further 17 years working in a bookies, 10 years of not giving a shit anymore, throwing out underage kids, being threatened by Albanians and having an argument I can't win with punters that have been been betting 5 minutes demanding that there is nothing wrong with Man U winning, Man U winning at half time and full time and Man U winning 3-0 in a ****ing treble.

Ooh, I know exactly where you are coming from. We are no more than glorified slot technicians and bouncers.

Yes you do.
It's built into the Decimal price.
8.0 = 7/1
8/1 would be expressed as 9.0

 

[Deleted User X18H]

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

No but 10/11 is.

oh give over ....the odds are as displayed by the various totes if yo put a 20 dollar double on a 3/1 and a 9/1 and it comes in you get exactly 540 bucks......lived here for nearly 30 years and been on the punt for most of 'em. if the tote says 8/1 it's paying 8/1 ....unless you are using the fixed odds option which is another story...
