What does 7/5 odds payout?

  • The payout at 7/5 odds is calculated by multiplying the stake by 7/5. This is the profit you earn over and above your initial stake.
  • Examples:
    • £1 bet: Profit = £1 * (7/5) = £1.40. Total return = £1 + £1.40 = £2.40.
    • £5 bet: Profit = £5 * (7/5) = £7. Total return = £5 + £7 = £12.
    • £10 bet: Profit = £10 * (7/5) = £14. Total return = £10 + £14 = £24.
    • £25 bet: Profit = £25 * (7/5) = £35. Total return = £25 + £35 = £60.
    • £50 bet: Profit = £50 * (7/5) = £70. Total return = £50 + £70 = £120.
    • £100 bet: Profit = £100 * (7/5) = £140. Total return = £100 + £140 = £240.

What does 7/5 Each Way mean?

An each way bet at 7/5 is split into two separate bets: one for the selection to win (7/5 odds) and one for the selection to place (typically top positions, with reduced odds).

Examples:

Assume place odds are 1/4 of 7/5, which is 7/20.

£1 each way (£2 total stake):

Win part: Profit = £1.40. Total return = £2.40.

Place part: Profit = £1 * (7/20) = £0.35. Total return = £1.35.

The calculations follow similarly for other amounts (£5, £10, £25, £50, £100), doubling the stake for each way.
