Betting Outcome

If I put £5 on two accumulated bets at 7/4 and 5/2 how much would I get back?

Or if anyone knows the answer, can you tell me how to work it out so I don't have to keep on asking?

Thanks

Hi Bobby, I use www.free-bet-calculator.co.uk. It can calculate all kinds of different bets.

If you've bet as a double you'll get back £48.12, unless there are any Rule 4 deductions to come off.

Thanks marje

Agreed, that includes your £5 stake, well done

Here's the maths

7/4 first

7 x £5 / 4 = £8.75
Add back on the £5 bet = £13.75

Then put that on at 5/2
5 x £13.75 / 2 = £34.37
Add on your £13.75 stake = £48.12

Yes, very well done Bobby, my winnings in the last few days have been shockingly bad.

Five pounds at 5/2 gets you £17.50 back. (Two and a half times your stake plus your stake back).

£17.50 at 7/4 gets you £48.12 as marje says. The easiest way to calculate winnings at 7/4 is (Stake plus evens plus half plus half). So that's £17.50 + £17.50 + £8.75 + £4.37 = £48.12.

(There's a simple formula to calculate returns for all commonly used odds. 6/4 is stake evens plus a half. 13/8 is stake plus evens plus a half plus a quarter)
