What does 30 to 1 odds mean in horse racing?
All you have to do is multiply your bet by the whole number to find your net profit. For example, a $2 wager at odds of 30/1 would return $60 in profits ($2 x 30/1). Add in the return of your original stake, and the return would be $62. Likewise, a $2 bet placed at 10/1 would return $20 plus your initial wager.
