    Well of course the odds would be fixed at the start

    That's what I'm saying. Hence the related part is irrelevant.

    I think we're all discussing a different thing :D

    why would the odds obviously be fixed, maybe the guy went up to the till and said I'll have 3 quid on blah blah blah, they laid the bet.

    I'm tired of explaining, sorry.

    Ok, for England game this Sat at willhill

    WinCast
    Wayne Rooney to score first and England to win 17/2

    Now Rooney is 11/2 to score first anyway!

    The true "non related" odds would be 14/1.

    Because

    If the bet was before the game, how can the odds be anything other than fixed on those two happening - because they're related.

    Once Hume had scored the bet was couldn't be made anyway.

    I think I'll give it up now, I think we're probably all right but are 'arguing' different things. :D

    RE: Because

    I know where you're coming from but so do the bookies. That's why they factor in Hume scoring into the true odds or they'd lose money from these bets which is why they won't take them unless pre quoted as a double. See my Rooney example. You can't back Rooney to score 1st and England to win and expect 7/5 x 11/2 and want 14/1, you'd have to take their 17/2 before they game.

    He's saying that double would be 14/1 if you were allowed to combine the individual odds, but the bookies adjust it and you get much lower odds than that, for the reasons mentioned.

    Think i follow what you are saying. You can't double on related bets. Betting on goalscorer and a certain result would be like betting a double of no goalscorer and a draw (why not add 0-0 as well) which you clearly cannot do.
