Understanding Special Bets Betting Odds
We show Special Bets betting odds on the Exchange in decimals. Special Bets decimal odds are easy to understand, because they represent the payout you'll get if you win – e.g. 9.8 means you'll receive 98 for every £10 you bet, including your stake, if the bet wins. The Special Bets odds shown in the blue boxes are set by the layers, and the odds shown in the pink boxes are set by the backers.
