Reminder that Hillary is going to win the election.

Someone explain these numbers to me, I am retarded at maffs
>>69746212
Im having trouble too. I think
Hillary - 5/7 chance
Trump - 1/5 chance
Etc
>>69746212
5/2 = 2.5
Hillary has a 250% chance to win apparently.
>>69746303
1/6 chance **
>>69746303
God dammit help me with these numbers math/pol/s I dont get it
>>69746343
>hurr how do betting odds work
Right = buy-in
Left = pay-off
>>69745852
I should bet one million dollars on Hillary and make a 12 dollar profit.
>>69746902
Ok, but what do the numbers mean, Mason?
>>69747054
if I buy a 5 dollar bet for hillary, I win 2 more dollars
if I buy a dollar bet for trump, I win 5 more dollars
>>69747152
Oh ok. I get it now. Thanks man
>>69747054

>mfw I hang out with college students all day and forgot how retarded the average American is.
>mfw this is the reason America can never be great again.
Let me help.
the bottom number is how much money you need to put in to get the top number.
EX:
2/5 for hillary.
If you bet 5 dollars for hillary to win. Your grand prize is 2 dollars when she wins.
So if you bet 100 dollars you get 40 out and so on.
>>69747255
>let me restate what's already been said in the thread
bix nood indeed
>>69747255
Betting odds and retarded statistics isn't knowledge that everyone needs to posses.
I'm an English major. You do the math.
i would bet on hillary if the elections werent so far away. not feeling tying up my money for over 6 months
>>69747255
Nothing indicated it was a bet
You're conceited
>>69746212
I don't get why the US uses this stupid fucking fractional system
2/5 = 0.4 = 40 cents per dollar bet ($1.40 received)
1/5 = 5 = $5 per dollar bet ($6 received)
Maybe It's to prevent those who are very stupid from placing bets
In Australia It just gives you the amount you would receive when you won ie; the betting sights would just say Clinton $1.40 Trump $6
>>69747481
Thats obviously a well-known betting site anon
>>69745852
Its based off what Euros believe so of course its tipped towards Hillary. I honestly think that the odds should flip around (Hillary would have 5/2 and Trump has 1/5) but eh some guys might get a lot of money off Trump winning
>>69747642
You're trying to make sense of numbers with a nation that doesn't use the metric system...
>>69747642
but it makes perfect sense since most people don't bet in single-dollar amounts
>>69747711
>using the numeric jew
>>69747690
Obviously it wasn't
Many people didn't know about it
>>69747690
>Thats obviously a well-known betting site anon
Not everone is a degenerate like you.
>>69747772
People on a mongolian throat singing board not knowing about a well-known betting site doesn't make it not well known.
Even if they didn't know its obviously betting, why else would OP's image be set up in its way.
>>69747773
I don't gamble, I just know the site exists.
Kasich is 20/1 yet he's the only republican that beats hillary in the polls
>>69747752
It doesn't matter if you bet $10, $15.34, $26.23 or $66.98, It's the exact same formula every time, just the amount you bet times the amount you'll receive per dollar
Also, in my anecdotal experience, most people do bet in single-dollar amounts unless they're betting all the money left in their betting accounts
>>69747752
Well if you passed 3rd grade you could just multiply with either system.
>>69747894
Maybe it was a joke
>Mitt Romney
>2016 Election
>>69748067
he had a 200/1 next to his name for an obvious reason
Stop grasping for straws
>>69747343
It is considered common knowledge.
It takes literally 30 seconds to understand. After you read any of the explanations in the thread you will have a working understanding of betting odds. How have you gone through your life hearing people talk about betting odds and never spent the 30 seconds to educate yourself.
>>69745852
>implying i don't remember when these same hacks thought Jeb was going to be the nominee and Trump was ranked around fifth for the nominee
BETTING MARKETS MEAN FUCK ALL YOU FUCKING RETARD. THE ONLY REASON THEY'RE "ACCURATE" IS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE PLACING BETS RAPIDLY CHANGE THEM AT THE LAST MINUTE.
>>69747152
>>69747199
>>69748296
Go back and look.
I did understand it in about 30 seconds after someone told me.
I don't think I've ever had to deal with betting odds in my life bruh.
>>69748145
Grasping for straws?
>>69748500
You could have looked it up yourself. But you flopped around like an epileptic fish demanding the assistance of others. You are deserving of scorn.
>>69748780
Fair enough, but you don't have to be a dick about it. We should lift each other up, not throw each other down.

>tfw you're on 4chan don't include a pic to better represent yfw
>tfw you insult others for not knowing betting notation
Fuck you retard.
