Gambling Question On The Chase

[Caribeing]

If you bet £10 at odds of 5/2 as well as getting your stake back what would you win choices were £25, £50. £75,.

[paddywak]

£25

[The Builder]

Well they must have changed the rules then, because I always thought you received £25 winnings............. plus return of your stake...... making £35

[EDDIE51]

£25 is the answer. 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2 you put on. 5 x £2 is £10 ,so you win 5 x £5 =£25

[Caribeing]

Thanks paddywack that was the correct answer but some dispute here from oh

[EDDIE51]

Builder, the question says ''as well as getting your stake back what would you win'' which is £25

[The Builder]

Yep, you're right there, Eddie. Could have been worded better maybe?

[paddywak]

Builder he does say in the question as well as getting your stake back how much do you win

[The Builder]

You're right Paddy. I just took the meaning of "as well as your stake" to be the total received.

[Psybbo]

£25 plus your stake of £10

Strictly none are true if there was a rule 4 deduction if it was a horse racing bet!
