What does 9/4 odds mean?

What does 9/4 odds payout?
The profit is calculated by multiplying the bet amount by 9/4.
- £1 bet: Profit = £1 * (9/4) = £2.25. Total return = £1 + £2.25 = £3.25.
- £5 bet: Profit = £5 * (9/4) = £11.25. Total return = £5 + £11.25 = £16.25.
- £10 bet: Profit = £10 * (9/4) = £22.50. Total return = £10 + £22.50 = £32.50.
- £25 bet: Profit = £25 * (9/4) = £56.25. Total return = £25 + £56.25 = £81.25.
- £50 bet: Profit = £50 * (9/4) = £112.50. Total return = £50 + £112.50 = £162.50.

What is 9/4 Each Way?
An each way bet at 9/4 is split into two parts: a ‘win’ bet and a ‘place’ bet.
Win Part
- As with a straight win bet, you get 9 times your stake for every 4 units bet if your selection wins.
Place Part
This pays out if your selection places (usually top 2-4 positions). The place odds are typically a fraction of the win odds.
For example, at 1/4 place terms, the place odds become 9/16 (9/4 divided by 4).
