It's ok - I had to look it up too!

They're based on what you win if you bet £1.


So if odds are 1/5, for example, you win £1 for every £5 you bet.

If they're 20, you win £20 for every £1.

If they're something strange like 13/2, for example, betting £2 gets you £13.


The smaller the fraction, the more likely that person is going to win. The higher the number, the less likely.

Richard at 60 is nearly impossible compared to Pete at 1/6, for example.

ohh thanks! so is nikki more likely to win than ash (i hope sooo!)

[lambruscokid]

Basically it's breaking down like this at the moment:

In order of rank, Pete is first, and Richard is last:

Pete - 1/5
Glyn - 8
Nikki - 14
Ais - 16
Jennie - 66
Richard - 100

Yeah I explained kind of badly.


If it's a small number (like a fraction) then that person is likely to win.

If it's a big number, they're hopeless.

Perhaps whats confusing is the` odds on bet `:1/5 this means £1 for each five pounds bet.eg not much to win as he is favourite. If however if it said just 5 then it would be you win £5 for every £1 bet far better odds but less likely to win

so a £10 Bet on on pete could win you £2
and a£10 bet on Jennie could win you £666

My advice is stay away from it. There is a theory that if you get a good win early in life you are at a greater risk of getting overinvolved.!!
