Re: The Virtual Bookmaker
just copy the odds for your win nando
i.e. 1.44 add it in the decimal bit, click yes to win, then add another under it and so on.
On the bottom of the page it will give you your final accy odds.

£90 + what you bet, I think. Although if we've lost money, maybe I've been working out wrong.

yes the odds are like a multiplier.
so eg. £100 @ 1.36 = £136 (100 stake + £36 profit)
So yes £250 @ 1.36 = £340 (250 Stake + 90 Profit)
I think its lot easier than trying to work out fractional odds

yes you do get you stakes backChurchill wrote:Oh, Poopie, I thought Spurs won <doh>. And do you not get the stake back with bets?
eg if you balance is £1000 to start with then you place a £100 bet on say Man Utd to win @1.50 your balance will go down to £900 (because you have staked £100) if you win then your balance goes back up to £1000 (get your stake back) plus £50 profit so you will end up at £1050
if you lose you stay at £900

this bet isnt very clear, you must but in brackets the amount for each bet.
I dont know if this £100 each bet bet totalling £300, or £100 total for all the bets therefore each bet is £33.33333
i have taken it as £100 each bet totalling £300

The account opens as soon as you place your first bet, but Sirius is taking a break from this at the moment, so you may have to wait a while
