I like the decimal odds that we use in NZ and hate the wierd fractions odds still used by the Imperial bookies.
I can get the following odds here. Rennes win , 2.0 Draw 3.2 and Celtic win 3.5. So for a $10 bet the returns are $20, $32 and $35. It's really simple and needs no arithmetic skills.
Celtic were at 1.12 to win at Hamilton. ie heavy favourites. My $10 bet returned a profit of $1.20 Wow! The bookmakers make a lot of money when there is a draw as most punters tend to favour one or other team and seldom pick the draw option. I interpret these odds as the bookmaker predicting that the most likely outcome is a victory for Rennes and that a Celtic victory is very unlikely. That's what the odds tell us. Or do they? Any thoughts?
