Basic Odds Understanding\n\n Let's take odds of 2/1. This means that you need to bet one unit to win two back. Odds of 4/1 means that you bet one unit to win four back. Then you have odds-on prices such as 1/2. In this scenario, you would need to bet two units to win one back.

Fractional odds\n\n The first number in the fraction represents the potential profit from a winning bet, while the second number represents the amount of the stake or wager. For example, if the odds are 2/1, a winning bet ofR$1 would result in a profit ofR$2, for a total payout ofR$3.
