bogdan Posts: 9902 Joined: 08 October 2008	Oct 10, 2011 22:55 Yeah but some things aren't simple to explain in a couple of phrases, and I don't think NW's initial post was directly and solely aimed at you.

The Johnson LUFCTALK MODERATOR Posts: 3043 Joined: 11 November 2009 Location: Auckland	Oct 12, 2011 09:19 Right I need my fellow LUFCTalkers to help me out here. I'm totally confused. I have been listening to British radio a lot and they always bring up gambling, like the odds for football and racing and all other sports. Now over here the odds are simple. Each horse/team/player gets an amount put next to their name. For example it would be: Leeds - $1.50 Doncaster - $2.50 Now that would mean that for every dollar you bet you get either $1.50 or $2.50 back depending on who you backed. However when I listen to the odds over there it's like: Leeds - 9/4 Doncaster - 11/2 Now can somebody please explain to me how the fraction system works. I have been trying to figure it out for months but to no avail. Any reply would be appreciated

All plus your stake back of course simply divide the first by the last and multiply by your stake 9/2 = 4.5 * stake I hope that helps MOT

dlw10 Posts: 1187 Joined: 14 September 2011 Location: Stoke on Trent	Oct 12, 2011 17:29 Just to add that you must be careful in knowing the difference between say 9/2 and 2/9 ! 9/2 ie 9 to 2 AGAINST is 9 for every 2 bet (plus your £2 stake back) but is quite different to 2/9 ie 9 to 2 ON which would give only £2 for every £9 bet (ie the bookies think it is a near certainty!. ALso if you see 13/2 you can still bet just £1 in which case you will get back £6-50. Simples!

It's ok, it's just that I would appreciate to understand what I'm said I speak, what I like to think of as, good English and even I don't understand some of the truly Yorkshire phrases and sayings that come up! Just hang in there and get the gist of what is going on, the rest soon falls into place Last edited by: The Johnson - Oct 13, 2011 12:14.

It would work perfectly. ----------------------Lonergan-------------------------- -------Lees-----------O'Dea------------Kisnorbo----- --------------Howson--------Clayton------------------ -------Snodgrass----Vayrynen---------Pugh-------- -------------Keogh----------------McCormack--------- We have the perfect squad for it. I've thought about it long and hard. We would win the league In other news our family cat ran away yesterday, hasn't been seen since. So keep an eye out.
