What does 11/4 odds mean?
In betting, odds represent the likelihood of an event happening and the potential returns you could make from a successful bet.
The odds of 11/4, read as “eleven to four”, mean that for every 4 units you stake, you will win 11 units, in addition to getting your stake back.
| Odds | Meaning | Payout for £100 bet | Each Way Meaning | Decimal Equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11/4 | Win £11 for every £4 staked | £375 | Two bets: one for win, one for place | 3.75 |
For instance, if you bet £1 at 11/4 odds, you’ll win £2.75 plus your £1 stake back, making a total return of £3.75.
If you bet £5, you’ll win £13.75 plus your £5 stake, totalling £18.75. For a £10 bet, you’ll win £27.50 plus your £10 stake, totalling £37.50. If you bet £25, you’ll win £68.75 plus your £25 stake, totalling £93.75. For a £50 bet, you’ll win £137.50 plus your £50 stake, totalling £187.50. And finally, if you bet £100, you’ll win £275 plus your £100 stake, totalling £375.
What is the Payout for 11/4 Odds?
The payout for 11/4 odds is calculated by multiplying the stake by the odds. For example, if you bet £100 at 11/4 odds, your potential payout would be £375.
This includes your original £100 stake plus £275 in winnings.
What is 11/4 Odds Each Way?
An each-way bet is essentially two bets in one: a bet for your selection to win and a bet for your selection to place (usually 1st, 2nd or 3rd depending on the event).
If you place an each-way bet at 11/4 odds, you’re betting on a selection to win and to place.
For example, if you bet £1 each way at 11/4 odds, you’re placing £2 in total (£1 on the win and £1 on the place). If your selection wins, you’ll get the win part of the bet and the place part of the bet. If your selection only places, you’ll only get the place part of the bet.
The same principle applies for larger bets. If you bet £5 each way, you’re placing £10 in total, and so on.
What is 11/4 Odds as a Decimal?
To convert fractional odds to decimal odds, you divide the first number by the second number and add 1. Therefore, 11/4 odds as a decimal would be 3.75.
