Question by : can someone explain odds at bookmakers?
so can someone explain these odds to me?
a) 1/2 that england will beat USA. i put £1 on england to win, and they do. how much do i get back?
b) 2/1 that england will beat USA. again, i put £1 on england to win and they win. how much do i get back?
thanks a lot to anyone that answers. it might seem a little stupid to people who know what they’re talking about but it really confuses me.
