Rene, you asked about fraction odds. I'll try to explain them for you.




To convert fractions to decimals :-

5/2

= (5/2) + 1

= (2.5) + 1

= 3.5



2/5

= (2/5) +1

= (0.4) +1

= 1.4

+1 is because decimal odds include the stake. Fraction odds do not include the stake.


Examples:-

7 pts @ 5/2

= ((7 * 5) / (7*2)) +1

= (35/14) +1

= (2.5) +1 = 3.5 decimal odds

= (2.5 * 7 pts ) + stake

= (17.5 pts) + 7 pts stake

= 24.5 pts


7 pts @3.5 =24.5 pts




9 pts @ 2/5

= ((9*2)/(9*5) + 1

=(18/45) +1

= (0.4) +1 = 1.4 decimal odds

= (0.4 * 9 pts) + 9 pts stake

= 3.6 pts+ 9 pts stake

= 12.6 pts


9 pts @ 1.4 =12.6 PTS




DOUBLES:-

Choose 6 teams, for example A,B,W,D,E & Z

A v U A @1.1
B v V B @1.2
C v W
D v X
E v Y
F v Z



= 15 doubles =

A+B A+W A+D A+E A+Z
B+C B+D B+E B+Z
W+D W+E W+Z
D+E D+Z
E+Z

The odds are multiplied - for the double AU + BV, the odds for A+B to win are 1.1 * 1.2

= 1.32, und so weiter.

If team C loses, all bets which include team C are losing bets - AC, BC, CD, CE & CF.

Last night I won 10 doubles, from a possibe 15 doubles .
Erfurt lost (),my other 5 teams won.
