    Could someone tell me if I'm right or wrong with the following odds coupled?

    13/2
    10/1
    = 7/2

    13/2
    12/1
    = 3.75/1

    15/2
    12/1
    = 4.1/1

    15/2
    14/1
    = 4.4/1

    As in if you were putting them in a double?

    You add the odds onto each other then not sure what happens then, the odds are increased slightly to deduce the possibility of both happening.

    Just put the odds in decimals and multiply by each other:
    13/2=6.5/1=7.5
    10/1=11.0 so multiply 7.5x11=82.5/1....I think thats how it works

    Can you explain this slightly more? Do you mean the first example would be 23/3?

    Yea your calculations are correct.
    Here's a good calculator I use its in decimals tho.

    http://www.oddschecker.com/betting-tools/dutching-calculator.html


    For those who dont know coupling is backing two or bets in the one event.

    Like say backing Man Utd to win 1-0 2-0 2-1 in the one match.
    You can only win on one score but you'd get better odds than backing Man Utd just to win.

    Cheers, just wanted to check I was right.
    Ladbrokes must think their punters are all stupid.
    They had coupled odds in their shops today for the Palace v Cardiff match tonight.

    C Palace to bt Cardiff 1-0 or 2-0

    C Palace to bt Cardiff 1-0, 2-1

    Cardiff to beat C Palace 1-0, 2-0

    Cardiff to beat C Palace 1-0, 2-1

    The above odds I used were Ladbrokes own prices.

    The prices Ladbrokes were offering were
    13/2
    10/1
    = 7/2 - 3/1

    13/2
    12/1
    = 3.75/1 - 11/4

    15/2
    12/1
    = 4.1/1 - 10/3

    15/2
    14/1
    = 4.4/1 - 7/2

    Pretty poor show.
    They had a Footie treble yesterday in the shops at 7/2 (Arsenal, RM and I think it was Luton), shop exclusive.
    The exact same Treble on their website worked out at 3.78/1.
    The price never moved from 7/2 in the shops so even if the price moved online, it doesn't make sense to have it lower in the shops.
    Makes you wonder.
