    Betting Odds

    Why do they show 100-30 commonly and not 10-3? I am confused to this practice. Can someone help me?

    Apperently its down to old school race talk. 100/30 is known as a Berlington Bertie, so I guess it would not work as 10/3 Derived from French originally I am told.

    100/30 is the same as 10/3. Silly bookie. Might like to put a bet on with him.

    The way I understand it, Burlington Bertie is the tic tac slang for 100/30 and this is simply used as a way to express 10/3

    It doesn't change the value of the return.

    I usually avoid the horses so I've no need to worry about tic tac.

    My girlfriend was an ex-showjumper so I have gained an interest in them slightly.

    Getting your bird to dress up like Jessica Kürten, doesn't really qualify as an "interest" in horses!
