Anyone reaching this page wants picks. The honest answer sits at the front of this guide: no one, no tipster, no model, no AI, knows who wins a football match tonight or which horse lands the 3:10 at Ascot. Tips, predictions and forecasts are educated guesses built from form, statistics, line-ups and the market’s own prices. They become useful only when the reader can weigh them against the price the bookmaker is offering, the cut the bookmaker takes from that price, and the rules the operator attaches to any bonus offered alongside. That is what this page covers.

The angle here is cost. A tip costs nothing to read. Acting on one costs the stake, plus the margin baked into every price, plus any condition an operator tacks onto a free bet or a welcome offer. The arithmetic in the pages that follow takes those numbers apart so the reader sees them before the slip is signed.

The data below was checked as of 27 October 2026 against the Gambling Commission’s public register for licensing claims.

The legal frame around a tip in Great Britain

A bookmaker that takes a bet from a customer in Great Britain needs a Gambling Commission licence wherever that operator is based. That is the whole test: not the colour of the website, not the country printed in the footer, not the brand’s reputation. A Curaçao, Maltese or Gibraltar licence alone does not cover a British customer; the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014 closed that route. Since 7 May 2019 the same rule has applied to free bets and bonuses — a free bet cannot be credited to a customer who has not been verified.

The Gambling Act 2005 covers England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland sits outside it under older law, so the correct framing is “GB-licensed” or “licensed for Great Britain”, never “licensed in the UK” as a single jurisdiction. A GB bookmaker is licensed by category: remote general betting standard (real events) is the one most sportsbooks hold, with separate categories for virtual events, pool betting and the betting-intermediary permit that exchanges operate under. Several brands can sit under one licence holder — Ladbrokes and Coral, Paddy Power and Betfair — and presenting them as independent operators reads as an error.

The public register is the test. It can be searched by business name, trading name, domain or account number. Every licence claim on this page has been checked against it. No single brand is “the only” licensed one — the register lists hundreds, the licensed market is broader than any shortlist, and “the only licensed bookmaker” is never a defensible claim.

What that licence does for the customer

A GB licence buys a set of protections the customer cannot otherwise rely on. GAMSTOP coverage, so a self-exclusion registered with one operator applies across every licensed site and app. A code of practice, the LCCP, that caps bonus wagering requirements at 10x the bonus and bans mixed-product promotions that lock a sports bet to a casino spin. A vulnerability check that triggers once net deposits pass £150 in a rolling 30 days. Identity verification before the first deposit, so an unverified punter cannot place even a free bet. A complaints route through an approved dispute-resolution body if funds are withheld.

The same licence does not buy a state-set stake limit. There is no statutory ceiling on stakes; operators set their own maximums and may restrict individual accounts. There is no state-set deposit or loss ceiling either — limits are the customer’s choice through the operator’s safer-gambling tools.

The credit-card ban and what is left

Since 14 April 2020 credit cards have been banned for gambling in Great Britain, including credit-card-funded payments through an e-wallet. Debit cards, bank transfers and the bank-based instant-payment rails are not covered by that ban. Anonymous play is gone with the verification rule: a licensed operator has to know who the customer is before the first pound goes in.

The tax position

Betting winnings are not taxed in Great Britain at the customer end. General Betting Duty sits on the operator’s gross profits at 15% today, with a new 25% rate applying to remote betting from 1 April 2027 alongside the 15% rate for UK horse racing, pool betting and in-person betting. None of that is the customer’s liability. Whether the operator passes the duty on through tighter prices is not established, and the page does not write the duty off as a player charge.

Safer gambling: the tools that should sit behind every tip

A Gambling Commission licence brings a layer of controls the customer can switch on without telling the operator why. The page is blunt about them because the controls are the difference between a punt and a problem.

Deposit limits are the first one. A licensed remote operator must offer a fixed-time gross deposit limit. A punter who sets the limit cannot raise it instantly, only after the operator’s cooling-off window and usually after a confirmation check. The state does not set the ceiling; the punter sets it, and the operator must honour it.

Reality checks are session timers that interrupt play at intervals the punter chooses. Self-exclusion is harder than a session timer: GAMSTOP is the multi-operator exclusion that locks every licensed site and app for six months, one year, five years, or five years with auto-renewal. After the chosen minimum the exclusion stays for a further seven years unless GAMSTOP is asked to remove it. The exclusion covers online sites and apps. Betting shops run a separate service.

The financial vulnerability check triggers when net deposits — deposits minus withdrawals — pass £150 in a rolling 30 days. It is a public-record check (insolvency, county-court judgments), not a credit reference check and not an income check. A heavier tier of checks, the financial risk assessments sometimes called “affordability checks” in the press, was announced on 7 July 2026 with no start date — the page writes them as announced and staged.

Help is free and outside the bookmaker. GamCare runs the National Gambling Helpline. GambleAware funds treatment and education. NHS gambling clinics operate in several regions. Gamblers Anonymous runs local groups. None of those is a tipster. None of them is paid to tell the reader the winner of tonight’s match.

The honest framing of licensed and unlicensed is short. Licensed: checks, limits, GAMSTOP, the bonus cap, a complaints route. Unlicensed: none of those, no recourse if funds are withheld, possible loss of the deposit itself. Neither is “safe” by default — the choice sits with the punter, and the rule of thumb is the licence, not the marketing.

How a tip is built: form, statistics, line-ups, the market

A tip is a probability statement dressed up as a prediction. The job of the tipster is to estimate how likely an outcome is; the job of the punter is to weigh that estimate against the price the bookmaker offers. Three inputs go into the estimate, in rough order of weight.

Form is the recent record — results, goals, head-to-head, home and away splits. Statistics sit one level deeper: expected goals, shot quality, possession value adjusted for opposition, set-piece conversion, dismissals. Line-ups are the live input that can swing form: a rested striker, an injured keeper, a suspension that drops a creator. The market’s own prices are a fourth input some tipsters weight heavily, on the idea that thousands of punters betting their own money know something the form table does not.

None of the four is enough alone. A team in form against an absent creator, priced at 2.10 (11/10) on a market where the true probability is closer to 55%, is one kind of value bet. A statistical favourite priced at 1.40 (2/5) is a different one — the favourite can win, the price usually does not pay for being right often enough once the margin is taken out. The arithmetic that makes the difference is the one in the calculation section lower down.

The bookmaker’s margin and what it does to a price

Every price on a bookmaker’s site carries a built-in cut called the margin, sometimes called the overround. It is the difference between what the market would pay out if every outcome were priced at its true probability, and what the bookmaker is offering. On a two-way market priced at 1.90 / 1.90 (9/10 / 9/10), the market’s true-probability payout is 100% and the bookmaker’s is 1 ÷ (1 ÷ 1.90 + 1 ÷ 1.90) = 1 ÷ 1.0526 = 95.0%. The 5.0% gap is the margin — the cut the bookmaker keeps out of every pound staked on this market.

A margin is not a fee charged on top; it is removed from the price before the customer sees it. The customer does not pay a 5% commission. The customer sees a price slightly shorter than the true probability deserves, and over hundreds of bets the gap compounds into the book’s profit. That is the trade: a cheap price in exchange for the convenience of a single counterparty.

A value bet, in this frame, is a price the punter believes is longer than the true probability of the outcome. The punter’s job is to find prices that exceed their own estimate of probability by enough to be worth the variance. No tipster, no matter how well-sourced, beats this consistently. The market is hard to beat because the market has read most of the same inputs the tipster has.

Staking and bankroll: the discipline behind the bet

A tip is half the question. The stake is the other half. The single rule that holds across staking plans is that a stake is set as a fraction of the bank, not a fixed pound number the punter picked on a Tuesday. One common anchor is one to three per cent of the bank per bet, which means a £500 bank produces £5 to £15 stakes. A bad week does not empty the bank; a good week does not look like a windfall that justifies raising the stake.

Each-way bets double the stake: a £10 each-way wager is two £10 bets, one on the win and one on the place. A Lucky 15 is fifteen bets; a Heinz is fifty-seven. The total stake on a Yankee at £1 per line is £11, not £1. Combining legs multiplies the odds but multiplies the chance of losing — one weak leg takes the rest with it, and the price is often the trap rather than the prize.

Why no tip is ever certain

Football, horse racing, tennis and the rest are open systems with injuries, weather, refereeing decisions and a thousand small things that move an outcome. A probability of 70% is not a certainty; over ten such events, three chance is the statistical expectation. The job of staking is to survive the three, not to avoid them. The job of a tip is to estimate a probability the punter can bet on; the job of the punter is to know that the estimate is an estimate.

The arithmetic: how the price becomes a return

Two formulas carry the page. The first works out what a winning bet pays back. The second works out what the bookmaker keeps of every unit bet on one market.

A bet on a single outcome at decimal odds O pays back the stake plus the profit. The return is stake × O. The net profit — what the punter pockets over and above the stake — is stake × (O − 1). A £10 stake at 3.50 returns £35.00, of which £25.00 is profit. The same bet at fractional odds of 5/2 pays the same way: the punter wins £5 for every £2 staked, the decimal equivalent is 3.50, the return is £35.00 on a £10 stake.

A combination bet multiplies the odds. Two legs at 2.00 and 3.00 produce a combined price of 6.00; three legs at 1.80, 2.20 and 3.40 produce 13.45. The same multiplication applies to risk: a six-fold accumulator is six bets rolled into one price, one leg short of the line and the whole slip loses. That is the bet builder’s lure and the bet builder’s cost.

The bookmaker’s margin on one market is the second formula. Take an illustrative two-way market priced at 1.90 on each outcome — an example, not a quoted price. The reciprocal probabilities are 1 ÷ 1.90 = 0.5263 and 0.5263. The sum is 1.0526, and 1 ÷ 1.0526 = 0.9500, or 95.0% in payout share. The margin is the gap between the payout share and 100% — here, 5.0%. As a band, depending on the bookmaker and the market, a typical football 1X2 sits between roughly 4% and 8%, with totals, handicaps and combination markets often higher. The lower end of the band belongs to sharp books on liquid leagues; the higher end is the cost of a niche market on a quiet bookmaker.

A reader who treats the margin as a fixed cost underestimates the variable part. The same bookmaker can run 3% on a Premier League match-result market and 8% on a fourth-tier football total-goals line. The price column does not show the difference; the calculation does.

What a free bet is worth

A free bet is the second number a punter should know how to read. A free bet whose stake is not returned with the win has a value of free-bet amount × (O − 1) ÷ O × payout share of the market. A £10 free bet at odds of 4.00 on a market with a 95% payout share is worth £10 × 3 ÷ 4 × 0.95 = £7.13 on average. The free bet is not £10 worth because the £10 stake is not paid back on a win; it is closer to £7 worth at this price, and lower at shorter prices. A reader who treats a free bet as cash has misunderstood the offer.

The expiry compounds the cost. A free bet that expires in seven days is worth a smaller fraction of its headline than one that expires in thirty, because the punter has fewer chances to find a price the offer pays for. A punter who lets a free bet expire on a short-price favourite has thrown most of the value away.

How to check a bookmaker is licensed

A Gambling Commission licence is the only test that matters. Anything else — a Trustpilot rating, a “licensed and regulated” line in the footer, a sponsor’s logo on a shirt — can sit alongside a licence without confirming one. The Commission’s public register is searched by business name, trading name, domain or account number. The licence status is the live answer.

A few checks the page runs through. The domain on the register is the live address; a licence held by SCGO Limited covers VBet, not a similarly-named domain that does not appear on the register. The account number on the licence page is the one to search for, not a number the site prints in a marketing banner. The licence category matters: a remote general betting standard (real events) licence covers sports; a casino-only licence does not. Several brands can sit under one licence holder — Ladbrokes and Coral under LC International Limited, Paddy Power and Betfair under PPB Counterparty Services Limited — and the register shows that relationship.

A licence is a floor, not a ceiling. It buys the protections named in the section above. It does not guarantee the operator pays out within a stated time, runs a competitive margin, or settles a disputed bet the way the punter would have settled it. The approved dispute-resolution route is the recourse when those fail.

The ten reviewed bookmakers for tips today

A shortlist of ten GB-licensed operators sits below. Each is licensed for remote general betting standard (real events); each is on the Commission’s public register. The pages that follow describe what each one’s own terms say about the offer, the markets and the controls — nothing more, and nothing drawn from sources outside what research carries. The set and order are fixed; what each block says is the writer’s judgement from the facts in front of it.

VBet: depth in-play and a builder that holds the line

VBet’s UK licence sits with SCGO Limited under Gambling Commission account 44662, in the category for real-event sports betting. The app bundles Bet Builder with pre-match and in-play options, live streaming, and a live stats calendar, offering a complete stack for today’s tips. The licence is on the public register, and the in-play tools give the punter a reason to stay engaged beyond the pre-match analysis.

The verdict. A strong contender for the punter who prioritises depth in-play and wants a Bet Builder that handles same-game multiples efficiently.

BetMGM: four free bets on a £10 opening stake

BetMGM’s UK site runs under LeoVegas Gaming PLC, Gambling Commission account 39198, in the remote general betting standard (real events) category. The brand’s own terms state a sports welcome offer for new UK customers who deposit £10 or more and place a sports bet within seven days: four £10 free bets, two tagged football accumulators of four or more selections and two tagged sports multiples of two or more, valid for seven days with a minimum odds line and an opt-in step. The offer is in the app’s own terms and is the type of activity of the type the page reads as a free-bet package, not a cash bonus. Opt-in is not automatic, and the seven-day window is short.

The verdict. The offer is a free-bet package at a low entry stake, useful for a punter who wants to convert a small first deposit into several bets on today’s tips and is willing to track four expiries rather than one.

Hollywoodbets: stake-back on a losing accumulator

Hollywoodbets’ UK licence sits with Hollywoodbets International UK Limited under Gambling Commission account 53028, in the category for real-event sports betting. The operator’s terms detail a welcome offer: a deposit of £10 or more by card triggers a stake-back as a free bet of up to £30 on a first qualifying losing accumulator — stake £10 or more, three or more legs, odds of 4/1 or greater, settled within seven days. The £30 cap is the ceiling; a £10 losing acca at 6/1 returns £10, not £30. Since the offer requires a card deposit, bank transfers do not qualify.

The verdict. A stake-back incentive for accumulator punters who are comfortable with the seven-day settlement window and can manage the initial stake risk.

Betmaster: a Maltese operator’s GB front

Betmaster’s UK site runs under BM Solutions GB Ltd, which holds Gambling Commission account 65699 for real-event sports betting. While the operator is Maltese-registered, the GB licence is the essential test for taking bets from customers in Great Britain. The licence appears on the public register, matching the sportsbook profile, and the Malta address does not alter the GB protection standard.

The verdict. This is an option for the punter who values the GB licence as the primary protection and is satisfied betting with an operator managed from a Maltese base.

BetGoodwin: best odds guaranteed on racing

BetGoodwin’s UK licence sits with Goodwin Racing Limited under Gambling Commission account 2927, remote general betting standard (real events). The brand’s own terms state Best Odds Guaranteed on all UK and Irish horse and greyhound racing, up to £1,000. BOG pays the bigger of the price taken and the starting price if the SP is higher — a rule that costs the bookmaker nothing on a winner at a shorter price and costs the punter a longer price on a winner at a longer one. The £1,000 cap is a ceiling per bet, not per day.

The verdict. The brand is built for the racing punter whose tips are horses and greyhounds rather than football, and the BOG cap is high enough that most bets sit comfortably under it.

LiveScore Bet: a payments bookmaker with a clean rails set

LiveScore Bet’s UK licence sits with LiveScore Betting and Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited under Gambling Commission account 56859, covering real-event sports betting. The operator provides a range of payment methods — including debit cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, and Open Banking rails like Pay by Bank and Revolut Pay. By supporting diverse banking options while adhering to the credit-card ban, the site accommodates punters who prefer non-card payment routes.

The verdict. Highly recommended for the punter who specifically needs Open Banking or e-wallet support as part of their betting routine.

Coral: best odds guaranteed and a daily reward

Coral’s UK licence sits with LC International Limited under Gambling Commission account 54743, covering real-event sports betting and intermediary services. The sports welcome offer gives £40 in free bets for a £20 stake at minimum odds of 2.0 (1/1), with 7-day issue and expiry. BOG applies to all UK and Irish horse racing from 8am, and the daily Reward Shaker offers free-to-play prizes, adding a layer of daily engagement to the standard sportsbook offer.

The verdict. A solid choice for racing punters who can leverage BOG and want a daily reward game alongside their qualifying free bet.

Betboro: in-play, cash out and boosted odds on small singles

Betboro’s UK licence sits with Webmedia Development N.V. under Gambling Commission account 44181, covering real-event sports betting. The site offers in-play markets, cash-out tools, and boosted odds on selected singles for stakes of £10 or more, alongside the mandatory safer-gambling set (deposit limits, reality checks, self-exclusion). The cash-out depth across football, racing, and tennis is specifically tailored to the needs of the active tip-follower.

The verdict. This platform is well-suited for punters looking for boosted singles and widespread cash-out options across the main sports markets.

Fitzdares: antepost and a specials menu on a premium stack

Fitzdares’ UK licence sits with Fitzdares Limited under Gambling Commission account 400, remote general betting standard (real events). The brand’s app carries accumulators, Lucky 15s, specials and antepost markets on horse racing, football, tennis, rugby, cricket, golf and American football, with cash out and in-play live odds. Antepost is a futures bet priced before the final declaration; the rule of the bookmaker is that a non-runner voids the bet. The Lucky 15 is fifteen bets on four selections, the stake the punter picks multiplied by fifteen. The specials menu is the brand’s own product, not a market category.

The verdict. The brand suits a punter whose tips include antepost racing and who wants specials alongside a Lucky 15, and who can read the antepost non-runner rule before placing the bet.

Paddy Power: a builder with a substitution twist

Paddy Power’s UK licence sits with PPB Counterparty Services Limited under Gambling Commission account 39439, remote general betting standard (real events). The brand’s app carries Bet Builder+, Popular Bet Builders, an expanded Win More market set, and Super Sub — a feature where a selected player who is substituted rolls the bet over to the replacement. Player and ACCA stats are bundled in. Super Sub is the brand’s own rule, not a market, and the punter should read it before staking a player-prop. Win More is a payout-boost on multiples, the kind of feature that pays the punter more on a win and costs the bookmaker on a loss.

The verdict. The brand suits a punter who builds same-game multiples and wants the bet to survive a substitution, and who treats Super Sub as the brand’s own rule rather than a universal right.

What a tip costs the punter: the calculation

The book’s margin sits inside every price the punter sees. Two prices on the same selection at different bookmakers carry different margins. The punter who knows which bookmaker is sharp on the market in question keeps more of every winning bet.

Take an illustrative two-way market priced at 1.90 on each outcome — an example, not a quoted price. The reciprocal probabilities are 1 ÷ 1.90 and 1 ÷ 1.90, summing to 1.0526. The payout share is 1 ÷ 1.0526 = 0.9500, or 95.0%. The margin is the gap between the payout share and 100% — here, 5.0%.

A punter who stakes £10 on each outcome on this market — a perfect arbitrage that costs £20 — books £19.00 back. The £1.00 loss is the margin, expressed in pounds, on this round of betting. The same margin on a single bet of £10 returns £19.00 instead of the true-probability £20.00; the missing pound is the bookmaker’s cut, paid out of the punter’s expectation over many bets.

The margin on real markets moves. As a band, a sharp bookmaker on a Premier League 1X2 sits in the low single digits — often 3% to 5% — and a niche bookmaker on a lower-league total-goals line sits higher — often 6% to 10% or more. Combination markets, where several outcomes are priced together, sit at the higher end. The lower the margin, the more of every winning bet the punter keeps; the higher the margin, the more the bookmaker takes before the bet is even placed.

A free bet’s value depends on the margin of the market it is spent on. A £10 free bet at odds of 4.00 on a market with a 95% payout share is worth £7.13 on average. The same free bet on a market with a 90% payout share is worth £6.75. The price on the slip is the same; the value of the free bet is not. A punter who spends free bets on long-shot singles at high-margin books gets less of them than a punter who spends them on competitive prices at sharp books.

The arithmetic above is a statistical estimate. It is an average across many bets under the stated assumptions, not a guaranteed outcome for any single punter. It promises no win, no payout and no return.

Reading the table: what each column carries

The table below gathers the licensing facts and the offer terms the pages above name. The columns are: brand; Gambling Commission remote licence number and licence holder; what the operator’s own terms state on the bonus key. The licence column is the register check; the offer column is the operator’s own statement of the welcome offer, in the words the operator uses.

A dash in the licence column is rare and means only that the register entry was not located under the brand searched. A dash in the offer column means the operator does not run a welcome offer under the bonus key the page covers, or the offer was not located in the operator’s own terms.

The table is not a ranking. It is a checklist the punter runs through before signing up, with the licensing test at one end and the offer terms at the other.

The licence numbers are the public register’s. The offer column is the operator’s own statement; the punter should read the operator’s full terms before claiming, because the table compresses a page of small print into one row.

Putting it together: the cost of a tip today

A tip is a probability statement, not a promise. The cost of acting on one is the stake, the margin inside the price, the expiry on the free bet, and the conditions on any bonus offered alongside. Three of the four are visible on the slip. The fourth — the cost of the wagering requirement the punter has not yet counted — sits in the small print.

The punter who treats a tip as a probability and the price as a separate question is the punter who keeps more of every winning bet. The punter who treats a tip as a prediction and the price as a delivery mechanism is the punter who pays the bookmaker’s margin on every bet, plus the cost of clearing the offer on top.

The arithmetic is short. A £10 stake at 3.50 returns £35.00. A £10 free bet at 4.00 is worth £7.13 on average on a market with a 95% payout share. A 5% margin on a two-way market at 1.90 / 1.90 returns 95.0% of stakes in the long run. None of these numbers needs a calculator beyond a single multiplication; the harder part is the decision to place the bet at all, on a price that pays for the probability the punter believes.

A licensed bookmaker is the floor. The set above is a floor within a floor — ten GB-licensed operators whose licences sit on the public register, in the category the page covers, with the offer terms the operators’ own sites state. The punter who picks from this set has the protections the licence buys; the punter who picks outside it has none of those, and that is the cost the rest of the page does not write about.

The rest is up to the punter. A tip is a guess sharpened by form, statistics, line-ups and the market’s own prices. The price is the cost. The licence is the floor. The discipline is staking within a bank the punter can afford to lose.

Frequently asked questions

What is a value bet and why is no tip ever certain?

A value bet is a price the punter thinks is longer than the true probability of the outcome. If the punter believes a team has a 60% chance of winning and the bookmaker offers 2.00 (evens), the price implies a 50% chance — a 10-point gap the punter believes they have found. No tip is certain because football, racing and the rest are open systems where injuries, weather and decisions move outcomes; even a 70% favourite loses three times in ten.

What is the bookmaker’s margin and how can it be seen in the odds?

The margin is the cut the bookmaker keeps out of every unit staked on a market. On a two-way market priced at 1.90 / 1.90, the payout share is 1 ÷ (1 ÷ 1.90 + 1 ÷ 1.90) = 0.95, or 95%, and the margin is the missing 5%. The lower the margin on the market the punter plays, the more of every winning bet the punter keeps.

How is the return on a bet worked out from the stake and the odds?

The return on a single bet at decimal odds O is the stake multiplied by O. A £10 stake at 3.50 returns £35.00, of which £25.00 is profit. A combination bet multiplies the odds across the legs, with each leg adding its own multiplier to the combined price. The same stake at fractional odds of 5/2 pays the same way: £5 profit for every £2 staked, the decimal form 3.50, the return £35.00 on £10.

How can it be checked that a bookmaker holds a Gambling Commission licence?

The Commission’s public register is searched by business name, trading name, domain or account number. The licence status shown is the live answer. The account number on the licence page is the one to search for, the domain on the register is the live address, and the licence category tells the punter whether the licence covers sports or another product. Several brands can sit under one licence holder, and the register shows that relationship.

Which tools for controlling play does a licensed bookmaker have to offer?

A licensed remote operator must offer deposit limits, reality checks, time-outs and self-exclusion through GAMSTOP, and has to apply a financial vulnerability check once net deposits pass £150 in a rolling 30 days. GAMSTOP excludes the punter from every licensed site and app for six months, one year, five years, or five years with auto-renewal; after the chosen minimum the exclusion stays for a further seven years unless removed.

How do fractional odds such as 5/1 convert to decimal odds such as 6.00?

Fractional odds a/b convert to decimal odds a ÷ b + 1. 5/1 becomes 5 ÷ 1 + 1 = 6.00. 11/4 becomes 11 ÷ 4 + 1 = 3.75. 9/10 becomes 9 ÷ 10 + 1 = 1.90. The decimal odds are the stake multiplied by the decimal figure, with the stake included in the return; the fractional odds are the profit per unit stake, with the stake returned on top.
