Points Profit  1335

all stakes 1 point

Isn't it just 1335/1121 = 19%?

well, that's what i got, but the person claiming those amazing returns says 105%

It'll be a 2pt on this 4pts on that 1pt on that etc.
Only genuine way is money bet vs money returned = % profit on stakes

Imo, the ROI figure of 19% is correct, in so much as that is the one used in betting circles. However, it's misleading as it's the same money being turned over more than once and you don't know the time period.

The most meaningful figure is the growth (or shrinkage) of the size of one's bank. Perhaps that's what he's referring to.

Always confusing this   Strictly Return on Investment should be the total return including stake over the total original stake, expressed as a percentage. It is though quite common for people to use the term when simply measuring % profit on investment.

that's a point DP, I assumed level staking but maybe not. Anyway cheers chaps, going for a beer or 2 now.

cheers blackbarn.

alcoholic %%% 100

This is the one I would like answering please.

thinly disguised after-timing posts

btw profit/investmentx100 =roi

eg 1335/1121x100 = (a highly imporobable)119%

That's what I thought dave.

ta very much

yeah nobody likes a show off Ken

lol tel, these are not my results sadly.Not that good.

Having said that, I've been here since July 2002, so must be doing something right.

no need to rub it in kenneth, yes hard game to survive for sure

Actually, Dave's right; an improbable 119%. I was thinking that the 1335 was total returns and therefore 19%.

hang on though, you invest £1121 (level £1 stakes) and you get £2456 back (points profit plus stakes)

So isn't that a ROI of over 100%?

Yes, Kenny - 119%.

I was saying Dave's right and I was wrong. I didn't realise it was a total return of £2456

oh 119%. was thinking dave had put 19%, cheers.
