Corin's Odds are now 1/1
 
I've never seen odds of 1/1 before, what does this mean?

Evens, she is definite favourite.

Your winnings are the same amount as you put on the bet plus you get your stake back.

Basically you get double the money you placed on the bet if Corin wins it.

Thanks. So that's rather good then?

Jords 04-08-2010 12:17 AM

Very good cub!

Corin - 1
John James - 3.5

She has quite the lead on favourite to win. :)

I think evens is poor odds, especially when you consider she's only just slightly favourite over John, who's almost 5-1, great odds. Josie is just over 7-1. Can't get me head around Steve being 12-1, that is very poor odds. JJ 70-1, now thats what i call great odds.

To be honest i'd rather just take a gamble and just stick a few quid on someone with massive odds!

Yep, no harm in sticking £1 or £2 on an unlikely outcome, as it always comes up now and then.

Only bet big on low odds if i'm very confident.

I'm not even a person who gambles much but when I do it'd be something like the Grand national.....purely because you get great odds.

Only bet i out on this year was an f1 bet and i've lost that already.

I amn't familiar with Horse Racing so don't bet on it.

I bet on Football a lot as my knowledge and interest on it is much stronger, that's about all i bet on though.

The problem with betting some at evens with 10 other runners is that theres 10 others that could beat you. BB is really fickle too, one wrong slap in that bedroom and the odds could fly.

We should make a pact with some who could win with big odds, say JJ 70/1, we'd all vote him to win and make a fortune.

More chance of me winning the lottery than there is the Arse winning the double.

1/1....? REALLY....?

I like Corin, but I don't want her to win...

Bad time to bet on her, imo. Better to bet AFTER her fumble with JJ is shown...
