Fix Odd Guide
- Fixed odds betting is the simplest form of betting. You place your money at a known price which in turn fixes your return. Your loss is always limited to the amount you put down on your selection. Some examples will make this clearer.
Boxing
- So, £100 on Ricky Hatton to win a boxing match a 1/4 means, if Hatton is successful, your return will be £125 including your £100 stake - a £25 profit. If Hatton does not win you lose your original stake of £100.
- £25 on Southampton to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers at 6/4 means, if Southampton win, a return of £62.50 including your £25 stake – a £37.50 profit. If the game ends in a draw or a win for Wolves you lose your original stake of £25.
- £10 on Little Venice at 13/2 means, should Little Venice romp home in first place, a return of £75 including your £10 stake - a profit of £65. If Little Venice finishes anywhere other than first place you’ll lose your original stake of £10.
- £200 on Wayne Rooney to score the first goal in a game against Villarreal at 11/2 means, should Rooney hit the back of the onion bag first in the match, a return of £1,300 including your £200 stake – a profit of £1,100. If any other player scores first you’ll lose your original stake of £200.
Once your bet is on, it is fixed – hence the term fixed odds.
