Racing odds...?

Question

what do you get if you put a tenner on a 6/4 odds? and it wins?

Answer 1

you get £25 back.

Thats your stake of £10 + £15 PROFIT.

To work out your return add 1 to the odds and times by the stake.

In this case 6/4 is the same as 1.5

add 1 gives 2.5

times £10

gives £25
