:rofl: I overlooked /1.1 =/= X0.9. You are correct.

This is exactly why I made this thread lol, to learn. Thank you for the help.


If you must enter the amount you want to win just take the number you want to bet and divide it by the odds. -110 is 1.1. -120 you divide by 1.2

Australian odds is so much simpler lol.

For example if this rockets game was paying $1.20, for every $1 you bet you get $1.20 back.

E.g: $100 bet = $120 win = $20 profit.

Fuck all this -120 craparoo

And if it's + odds you just multiply times the number you want to be

Wanna bet 100 @ +150 would mean 100 x 1.5 is what you would win so $150 plus your 100 back


The reason you can do this is because of law of proportions

For @-110 odds to tell you how much you'll win

(110/100) = (132.54/x)

Then cross multiply

110x = 13254

X= 120.49

Essentially dividing amount you want to bet by 1.1 in less steps
