What is the payout for 9/2 odds?
The payout for 9/2 odds can be calculated using the formula:

The payout includes the original stake. Here are the calculations for different stakes:

- £5 Stake: Payout = (£5 × 4.5) + £5 = £27.50
- £10 Stake: Payout = (£10 × 4.5) + £10 = £55.00
- £25 Stake: Payout = (£25 × 4.5) + £25 = £137.50
- £50 Stake: Payout = (£50 × 4.5) + £50 = £275.00
- £100 Stake: Payout = (£100 × 4.5) + £100 = £550.00
What is 9/2 Each Way?
“9/2 each way” in betting is a wager consisting of two parts: a ‘win’ bet and a ‘place’ bet. For your bet to win, your selection must win the event. The ‘place’ part of the bet pays out at a fraction of the win odds if your selection finishes in one of the predetermined places, typically first, second, or third.
Examples of 9/2 Each Way
The payout for each way betting is a bit more complex because it depends on the terms for the place part of the bet (usually 1/4 or 1/5 of the odds). Let’s assume the terms are 1/4 the odds for the place part:
- £1 Each Way (£2 Total Stake):
- Win: £5.50 (if wins)
- Place: £1.25 (1/4 of 9/2) + £1 stake = £2.25 (if places)
- £5 Each Way (£10 Total Stake):
- Win: £27.50
- Place: £6.25 + £5 = £11.25
- £10 Each Way (£20 Total Stake):
- Win: £55.00
- Place: £12.50 + £10 = £22.50
- £25 Each Way (£50 Total Stake):
- Win: £137.50
- Place: £31.25 + £25 = £56.25
- £50 Each Way (£100 Total Stake):
- Win: £275.00
- Place: £62.50 + £50 = £112.50
- £100 Each Way (£200 Total Stake):
- Win: £550.00
- Place: £125.00 + £100 = £225.00
What are 9/2 Odds in Decimal?

Decimal Odds=(Numerator/Denominator)+1Decimal Odds=(Numerator/Denominator)+1
So, 9/2 in decimal is:
Decimal Odds=(9/2)+1=4.5+1=5.5Decimal Odds=(9/2)+1=4.5+1=5.5
