Calculate Your Winnings

Singles

Fraction Method - Multiply the stake by the fraction odds to give the winnings, then add the original stake to give your total returns,

e.g. £10 @ 7/2

10 x 7/2 = 35 + 10 (stake) = £45 total returns.

Decimal Method - Simply multiply your stake by the decimal figure to give the total returns,

e.g. £10 @ 4.50

10 x 4.50 = £45 total return including stake returned.

Multiples

When calculating multiples, returns from your first selection go onto the second selection as the stake. Further returns are similarly reinvested onto further selections.

E.g. £10 winning treble.

Tottenham to beat Arsenal @ 6/4 ( Decimal 2.5 )

Best Mate @ 7/2 ( Decimal 4.5 )

Tiger Woods to win Masters @ 2/1 ( Decimal 3.0 )

Fractional Calculation

(£10 x 6/4) + £10 (stake) = £25.00

(£25 x 7/2) + £25 (stake) = £112.50

(£112.50 x 2/1) + £112.50 (stake) = £337.50 total return

Decimal Method - multiples are easier to calculate with decimal odds:

£10 x 2.5 x 4.5 x 3 = £337.50 (including stake returned)

Each-Way bets

Each-way bets are two bets, win and place, and are settled as two bets. The place part is calculated at a fraction of the win odds. This fraction will vary by sport and event, and will always be displayed when each-way betting is available.

Each-way 1/5th odds 1,2,3

£10 each-way on Hawk Wing @ 20/1

If Hawk Wing wins the race, the win part of the bet is calculated to the full odds (£10 x 20/1) + £10 (stake) = £210 return. The place part is calculated to 1/5th of the full odds, (£10 x 20/5) + £10 (stake) = £50. These two totals are then added together to give a total return of £260.

If Hawk Wing was only placed, the win part of the bet would have lost and the place part only would have been paid = £50 return.

Each-Way multiples

Each-way multiples (doubles, trebles, etc) are settled as two standard multiples, a win multiple and a place multiple, returns from each are added to give the total return.

e.g. £10 each-way double

10/1 winner (each-way 1/5th odds a place 1,2,3)

16/1 winner (each-way 1/4th odds a place 1,2,3)

Calculated as two doubles, a win double, and a place double.

Win Part (£10 x 10/1) + £ 10(stake) = £ 110

(£110 x 16/1) + £110(stake) = £1870 return

Place Part (£10 x 10/5) + £10(stake) = £ 30

(£30 x 16/4) + £10(stake) = £150 return

Giving a total return of £1870 + £150 = £2020.00

Forecast / Tricast

Forecast and tricast dividends are declared from the racecourse after the race. They are both generated by a computer based on starting prices. Dividends are quoted to a £1 stake (inclusive of stake returned) multiply your stake by this dividend to calculate your returns.
