not everly fussed about the WC as Scotland arent there :D. Still atleast it will give me a chance to see some of our new signings in action for their national teams. The team I am going to be backing for victory is France although most of the Scots seem to be supporting Trinidad and Tobago

I've just put a few bets on for the WC. They are as follows :

Brazil to win WC @ 5/2 £2 bet gets £7 back

France to win WC @ 12/1. £1 bet gets back £13

Luca Toni to be top goalscorer, 18/1 £2 bet gets back £38

Carlos Tevez to be top goalscorer, 40/1 £5 gets back £205

C'Mon Tevez :D

Geezer, explain to me what those odds mean. I know 5/1 etc as it's easier with numbers, but what the hell is 5/2

I dont get Odds either..

Geezer,Dc etc can teach us and turn us into World cup geeks.

to be honest if england never got into the wc i would support underdogs like argentina, brazil and italy who dont really have much of a chance. and i can be assured they play hard and dont dive around and pretend they are hurt.

on the grid.

I have a real strong feeling that Italy are going to do it.

My money is on Italy to win WC @ 8/1 (Ladbrokes) £10 bet which would get me £90 back.

Its really easy and I am bored, so here we go...

There is three types of odds, the fractional odds (Used in the UK and Eire), the decimal odds (Used in the European Union) and the American odds, (Obviously used in America:-) )

To keep things simple I will only explain fractional odds, but if you want to know about other types of odds, give us a shout.

The name gives it away, the odd is a fraction of what you bet, so you will always get a fraction back (plus your initial stake) of your stake.

For example, lets just say the odds for Chelsea winning the premiership are 1/2 we all know that 1/2 is a half or 0.5; if you bet £50 on that happening you will be getting your £50 back, plus a half of your stake which is £25, this means that you would be receiving a payout from the bookies of £75.

The easiest way of working out odds is dividing the first number of the odd by the second one, multiplying this number by your stake and adding the result to your initial stake.

Lets have the odds Geezer showed us.

Brazil to win WC @ 5/2 £2 bet gets £7 back

the odd -- 5 dived by 2 = 2.5

odd times the stake -- 2.5 multiplied by £2 = £5

you would get your stake back -- £5 + £2 = £7

I know, I'll get my coat:-p
