[Albion] Odds for palace game...

[Coldeanseagull]

Bookies have palace at nearly 5/1 for a home game against us!? Are we really that odds on to win? Form goes out the window when we play each other! [emoji23][emoji2959]

Can some one translate this graph into old money, I don't understand this metric system

We’ve come into a bit of form and they’re having a wobble. Hopefully Wilfred doesn’t play as they have been pretty hopeless without him. Think we will be two up at HT. UTA.

One of the last times we were 2-0 up at HT, we lost 2-4...

You and me both! I understand 3/1 or 7/4, etc. - but this stuff? No way!

Prior to the Burnley debacle, Woy implied that none of Haha, McCarthy and McArthur would be fit for a while yet.

Part of me would be very happy with the in-form Veltman looking after Winifried anyway.

Traditional odds post the winning return and when you collect your monies you are given you stake money back as well. With decimal odds, the odds posted include your original stake, whatever that might have been. The original stake would be 1 and the traditional odds decimalized and added to it. So 5/2 equates to 3.5 with 5 divided by 2 giving you 2.5 +1 for your stake.

No such thing as home game at present really.

This - with our piss poor home form , I’m going 0-0 - i hope I’m wrong

 

[Mortdecai]

With transposed odds say 4/5 which equates to 1.8
If you bet £25 @ 4/5 your return would be £20 plus your stake of £25 which equals £45
If you bet £25 @ 1.8 your return would be £45 as your stake has already been included in your return.

Please don't start me on Harava betting systems because I would end up being on here all night.

thanks for that, I think I've got it

Odds go out the window a bit with games like these. On form we should win, especially as it seems they’ll be missing Zaha, but I certainly won’t be betting on this game.

Palace (2010 version) always get the luck against us - like that ridiculous pen there this season. They’ll probably win and are hot favs in my eyes for sure.

That is okay, but surely you need to show how you calculate decimals into fractions, see you on the other side..

 

[Mortdecai]

Just divide the first number by the second will get you the decimal equivelent then add 1 to get the decimal odds.

7/2 > 7 divided by 2 > 3.5 > add 1 to give you the decimal odds of 4.5

100/30 > 100 divided by 30 > 3.33 > add 1 to give you the decimal odds of 4.33

2/7 > 2 divided by 7 > 0.286 > add 1 to give you the decimal odds of 1.286

Decimal odds make it much easier to work out how much you get back since you just multiply you stake by the odds on offer. (Your stake + winnings)

Got complete dominance from us, palace sitting back and scoring a late winner written all over it.

But your just converting fractional odds into decimal odds, I was asked to transpose decimal to fractional

 

[Mortdecai]

To convert decimal odds to fractional odds you first need to remove 1 from the decimal odds. Then write the remainder as a divided by 1

So 1.8 > 0.8 > 0.8/1

Then for mutiply both top and bottom by 100.

So 0.8/1 > 80/100

Then you simplify the fraction

80/100 > 8/10 > 4/5 which is the fraction odds.

 

[Mortdecai]

Generally decimal odds will run to 2 decimal places so multiplying by 100 creates what is known as a decimal fraction from there you simplfy it as short as it can go, known as a common fraction.
