First topic message reminder :

Welcome to the betting lounge

Anyone is welcome to join the game at any time by simply posting in this thread and saying they wish to open an account. They will then be credited with £1000 which can then be used to bet on any of the markets i have posted below at the given odds which will be updated in the main article.
If your balance runs down to zero, you recredited with £1000. (but this will be a loan from the virtual bank) If and when you have made enough money you can pay the bank back if you wish.

The minimum bet is £10.

Remember this is abit of fun. I cant be around all the time to update...and if this thread becomes popular then i will require help running it.

just copy the odds for your win nando
i.e. 1.44 add it in the decimal bit, click yes to win, then add another under it and so on.
On the bottom of the page it will give you your final accy odds.

Same, if my calculations are right I should have made almost £400 from my last bets?

by Guest Tue 08 Mar 2011, 3:00 pm

How does it work,

if i had £250 @ 1.36, what does that return? £90

by Guest Tue 08 Mar 2011, 3:16 pm

£90 + what you bet, I think. Although if we've lost money, maybe I've been working out wrong.

by Guest Tue 08 Mar 2011, 3:19 pm

In which case mine is correct i think.

Sorry Sirius.

by RocketAce Tue 08 Mar 2011, 3:23 pm

King Beer wrote:How does it work,

yes the odds are like a multiplier.

so eg. £100 @ 1.36 = £136 (100 stake + £36 profit)

So yes £250 @ 1.36 = £340 (250 Stake + 90 Profit)

I think its lot easier than trying to work out fractional odds

Oh, Poopie, I thought Spurs won <doh>. And do you not get the stake back with bets?

Churchill wrote:Oh, Poopie, I thought Spurs won <doh>. And do you not get the stake back with bets?

yes you do get you stakes back

eg if you balance is £1000 to start with then you place a £100 bet on say Man Utd to win @1.50 your balance will go down to £900 (because you have staked £100) if you win then your balance goes back up to £1000 (get your stake back) plus £50 profit so you will end up at £1050
if you lose you stay at £900

this bet isnt very clear, you must but in brackets the amount for each bet.
I dont know if this £100 each bet bet totalling £300, or £100 total for all the bets therefore each bet is £33.33333

i have taken it as £100 each bet totalling £300
