    Put 2 quid on, total goals tonight to equal 2.

    When betting i saw 10/23, without asking first i put my £2 on... and then ask him..

    He says it = £6.60 win, how does he get that? £6.60...ffs (shithappens)

    think its 23-10 ie 2.3 to 1
    2.3 X£2 = £4.60
    add back yer £2 stake = £6.60

    Not sure what happened to the tax though

    That would be 23/10 though.

    10/23 would yield about 2.86 including his stake back!

    Do the division, multiply by your stake, add your stake on.


    Reckon he got it wrong as that would be ridiculous odds for 2 goals....assume it must have been 23/10

    Think it was done to help the betting shops with the increase of online betting which could be based offshore and get around the tax.
