Hey does anyone have a link to a decent chart of the above???
I always use Boycies on a blog of his from last year but have just noticed its dissapeared.
I am capable of working this out and converting it myself, but find this quite time consuming.
Cheers

If you hover your mouse over the decimal odds, it will show you what the fractional odds are.

or add 1 point to the price and divide by 100
ie 2-1 +1 =3 divide-100 = 33.3% |

I am aware of both of those methods thanks chaps.
However, i usually make compile my own books for each race. |

I don't understand. Surely everyone who compiles their own books is capable of quickly and efficiently calculating the %ages mentally?
Referring to someone else's table sounds quite time-consuming to me. |

You have to lodge the percentages in your memory in the first place, Harry, and that comes from repetition.
When I look at 8/13 now, I immediately think "sixty-two per cent," but that didn't happen on day 1. Here's the table of percentages (courtesy of Laddies  ):http://www.competition-commission.org.uk/rep_pub/reports/1998/fulltext/418a4.4.pdf |

Thank you, that is a great help.
I take it nobody can get hold of one including odds on fractions also converted to fractions??? |

I am failing to understand why you don't use a calculator, it is only a few button presses to get the answer.

screaming is doing it right. A long, long time
ago I worked all the conversions out, memorized them, and at any time can look at a bookmakers board on course and quickly work out the margin he is betting to. You will soon know if the prices are going in or out. |
