£35 plus your £10 stake back I think.

7 divided by 2 = 3.5
3.5 x £10 = £35
plus what you bet
£35 + £10
= £45 :smile:

Most betting sites have a calculator that does this for you before you place the bet. :smile:
Easiest way to do this is to convert to decimal odds. Do 'top plus bottom over bottom'. So it is (7+2)/2 = 4.50. Now multiply your stake by 4.50 and that is the return.

Unlikely?


If 7/2 were fair odds that implies a 22.22% chance of the event happening. Unlikely.

Easy, (1+5)/5 = 1.20. £10 * 1.20 = £12.

Oh wait... plus the £10 back, so £22 return? Maybe worth it for a pretty sure bet tbh (x-factor winner to be christmas number 1).
