elland road boo boys Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I'm sure I have seen this before but searched the Forums & could not find it. Can anyone tell me what odds makes a team favourite. How far do the odds go before they level off? I think its about evens but not sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontask Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 evens obviously means you win back double your stake. if a team is favourite then they will be odds on, i.e 2/5, so you win £2 for every £5 you bet. if a team is say 5/2 then they are probably outsiders to win the match and you would win £5 for every £2 you bet.

Trents Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 What he said. Odds of 4/1 would imply that the bettor stands to make a £400 profit on a £100 stake. If the odds are 1/4 the bettor will make £25 on a £100 stake. Should he win, the bettor always receives his original stake back, so if the odds are 4/1 you would actually receive a total of £500 in return (£400 plus the original £100). Odds of 1/1 are known as evens or even money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmsteve Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 just use a calculator. if the odds are shown as 4/1 then that would come out at 4, likewise 1/4 would come out at 0.25. Whichever clubs odds come out as the smallest when dividing - theyre the favourite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWaRFeGa Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Favourite odds can be all sorts: Something as good as 6/4 can still be a favourite. Or something as bad as 1/6 (if you're expected to hammer a fellow league team at home). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
