I hope that somebody can help me with this little math problem.
Been trying to understand how to calculate average odds of multiple selections.
If i have four backing selections :
odds 8,00 = 100/8 = 12,5%
odds 6,6 = 100/6,6 = 15,15%
odds 19,5 = 100/19,5 = 5,12%
odds 100 = 100/100 = 1%
Average % = (12,5+15,15+5,12+1)/4 = 8,44%
Average odds = 100/8,44 = 11,84
So backing (dutching) these four selections is the same as one back selection at odds 11,84.
And if my lay selections is a odds 3,25 and that cover all outcomes of the event, then i can make a profit.
Can somebody pleace tell me if i made my calculations correct.
Many thanks Dogoa
