50/1 odds mean that for every £1 you bet, you win £50 if your selection is successful. These are long odds, suggesting that the event is considered quite unlikely to happen.

What do 50/1 odds payout?

  • Bet £1: Profit = £50. Total return = £50 (winnings) + £1 (stake) = £51.
  • Bet £5: Profit = £50 * 5 = £250. Total return = £250 + £5 = £255.
  • Bet £10: Profit = £50 * 10 = £500. Total return = £500 + £10 = £510.
  • Bet £25: Profit = £50 * 25 = £1250. Total return = £1250 + £25 = £1275.
  • Bet £50: Profit = £50 * 50 = £2500. Total return = £2500 + £50 = £2550.
  • Bet £100: Profit = £50 * 100 = £5000. Total return = £5000 + £100 = £5100.

What is 50/1 Each Way?

50/1 each way betting involves two bets: one for the selection to win, and another for the selection to place (often in the top 3, 4, or more positions). The place bet typically pays a fraction (like 1/4 or 1/5) of the win odds.

Let’s assume the place terms are 1/4 of the win odds:

  • Bet £1 (£0.50 each for win and place):
    • Place win = (1/4 * 50/1) * £0.50 = £6.25 profit, so total return = £6.25 + £0.50 stake = £6.75.
    • If the win bet also succeeds, add £50 (win part) + £0.50 stake = £50.50, totaling £57.25.
  • The calculations follow similarly for bets of £5, £10, £25, £50, and £100.

What is 50/1 Odds in Decimal?

Decimal odds represent the total payout (including the stake) for each unit bet. 50/1 in decimal is 51.00.

  • £10 bet at 51.00 decimal odds:
    • Total return = £10 * 51.00 = £510, including the original stake and winnings.
