Decimal odds are easiest to understand imo. Lol at American being simple.

decimal is the easiest and fractional by far the dumbest.

They would never do such a thing

. I think a few years ago, a couple of people would post late season SerieB matches like this and a few people did quite well on these types of late season matches

How is fractional the dumbest? To work out profit on a stake it's the easiest calculation.

The FA are voting today on introducing retrospective action for diving next season.

Apparently they've had it in Scotland since 2011. Are there many players banned for it in Scotland and is there less diving now? Marty? If it's not going to be properly applied, there's no point in introducing it.

Refs in PL aren't missing this ^^^^ ffs.

Think we have different problems up the road though as refs love to give controversial decisions against us. Cheating bastards one and all.

With exactly 2nd locked up and no need to risk injury etc I hope Poch gives the youngsters a run out tonight. I saw Shashoua and Lesniak are in the squad but what about Onomah, Carter-Wickers, Walker-Peters?

For accumulators decimal is easier as there is no converting fractions. For single bets fractional is the easiest to work out profit per stake.

no it isnt. 13/6 * £20 is still way harder than 2.16*£20

and if you want it in percentages 1/2.16 is easier than 6/13

Dunno but I'd take a bet that Johnny foreigner gets it by 3x1 over the brave English lads.

Are you on drugs? I can do the first mentally in literally 2 seconds. Second takes way longer. I need to work out what .16 of 20 is ****ing hell multiply by 5 divide by a hundred there are so many more steps!

Also fractional is almost never given as 13/6 it's usually to 1, 2 or 3 which makes it even easier.

Just depends what you're used to also. Also it's relevant to the sports which you're betting on.

When you're betting on sports that have a spread and that spread is supposed to be 50/50 so you have the same vig on both sides (NBA/NFL and to a lesser extent MLB/NHL) you're used to seeing -105, -110, -115 and -120.

I know if I want to bet to win $50 then I need to lay $52.50, $55, $57.50 or $60 respectively. I also know what the breakeven probabilities are.

Agree that 2.16*x is easier than 13/6*x

Lesniak is a Slovakian ~20 year old midfielder that's been on loan all year. Shashoua is an 18 year old midfielder who is highly rated by the club (but not as highly as Marcus Edwards).

Carter-Vickers is our 18 year old American centre half who I'm sure is going to take over whenever one of Jan or Toby leaves if they do, supposedly excellent.

Walker-Peters is 20 or so and will play right back for us along with Trippier is Walker leaves

Only incidents that result in a player winning a penalty or lead to an opponent being sent off - through either a direct red card or two yellow cards - will be punished.

Weak. I don't expect many suspensions.

that's another disadvantage. decimals make it much easier to deal with small margins.

and, again, 1/decimal number to get the percentages is the easiest way to do it too.

decimal is just so obviously superior.
