What does 7/2 mean in betting?

I am not great with fractions either so every time I register with a new bookie, I change my settings to have the odds shown as decimals, ie 3.50 would be the same as 7/2 (I think) cos you get £3.50 back for every £1 bet.

I always use the below Odds Comparison site to find new bookies and to see which bookie is offering the best odds. They have also tried and tested all the bonuses they advertise so can be sure they are legit.

Answer 6

You can convert it to decimal odds because its easier. 7/2=3.5 . Now just multiply your stake and you get how much money you can win.
