賠率是這樣算低

「賠率」指的是計算投注可以贏得彩金的倍率。通常是強隊的勝率越高，則賠率越低。
一般賠率有三種表現方式，分別是：歐式賠率、英式賠率　以及　美式賠率。

表現方式舉例如下：
賽事：英格蘭 vs 巴西 (足球) 　　歐式　   英式　   美式 　
　　　　　  　　　　　英格蘭 　1.40   　 2/5     　-250 　
      　　　　　　　　　巴西 　   5.00    　4/1    　+400　
 　　　　　　　　　　  和局       3.75     11/4　　 +275


※歐式賠率(亦稱國際賠率)
歐式賠率的計算金額包含原始投注額，賠率計算金額即是派彩金額。
假設你的投注額是1000元，則你投注在不同隊伍或是和局時候的輸贏狀況是：
●　英格蘭 1.40 贏，派彩金額：$1,000 * 1.40=$1,400 (含本金)；扣除本金，獲利金額：400。
●　巴西 5.00 贏，派彩金額：$1,000 * 5.00=$5,000 (含本金)；扣除本金，獲利金額：4,000。
●　和局 3.75 贏，派彩金額：$1,000 * 3.75=$3,750 (含本金)；扣除本金，獲利金額：2,750。


※英式賠率
英式賠率的賠率計算金額不包含原始投注額，賠率計算金額即是獲利金額。
假設你的投注額是1000元，則你投注在不同隊伍或是和局時候的輸贏狀況是：
●　英格蘭 2/5 贏，獲利金額：$1,000 * 2/5=$400；派彩金額：$1,000 + $400 = $1,400。
●　巴西 4/1 贏，獲利彩金：$1,000 * 4/1=$4,000；派彩金額：$1,000 + $4,000 = $5,000 。
●　和局 11/4 贏，派彩彩金：$1,000 * 11/4=$2,750；派彩金額：$1,000 + $2,750 = $3,750


※美式賠率
美式賠率有正負之分，正賠率為弱隊賠率；負賠率為強隊賠率。
負賠率表示要贏得100單位的獲利所需要投注的金額，例如-250表示投注$250獲勝可以獲利100元。正面賠率顯示如果您投注100倍您的彩金將會是多少。
假設投注額是：$1,000，則
●　英格蘭 -250 贏，獲利金額：$1,000 *  100/250=$400；派彩金額：$1,000 + $400 = $1,400。
●　巴西 +400 贏，獲利彩金：$1,000 * 400/100=$4,000；派彩金額：$1,000 + $4,000 = $5,000。
●　和局 +275 贏，派彩彩金：$1,000 * 275/100=$2,750；派彩金額：$1,000 + $2,750 = $3,750。

So Sweet It Hurts

Please eat your greens
and don't sit close to screens,
your eyes are a means to an end.
And I would be sorry if, due to your hurry,
you were hit by a lorry my friend.

Like you always say,
Safe travels, don't die, don't die,
safe travels, don't die.

Don't walk on ice, no matter how nice,
how sturdy, enticing it seems.
Please cross at the lights
and don't start fires or fights and
don't dabble in heights on caffeine.

Like you always say
Safe travels, don't die, don't die,
safe travels, don't die.

Don't swallow bleach
out on Sandymount beach,
I'm not sure I'd reach you in time my boy.
Please don't bungee jump
or ignore a strange lump
and a gasoline pump's not a toy.

Like you always say
Safe travels, don't die, don't die,
safe travels, don't die.
