@4:00 16820 pound reward for 10 pound risk ;). For those who complain about her not explaining probability, *PAY ATTENTION* at @2:47 : "Favorite Fillie's got a 2:1 ... that means she's got a 1/3 chance of winning i.e. 33.33%."

[@mosteanuv]

The race tracks get rich of ideas like yours !

[@willmilner3114]

your not explaining how odds work just how to bet

[@paulalbert8316]

+BBC Earth Lab Great video content! Sorry for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you considered - Tarbbatigan Spreadsheet Improvement Tip (search on google)? It is a good one off product for discovering the secrets to football trading minus the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cooworker after many years got astronomical success with it.

[@aleksandarmirchev5792]

Nice video content! Excuse me for butting in, I would love your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Riddleagan Profit Key Remedy (do a search on google)? It is a good one off product for learning how to bet on horses minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my best friend Jordan after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical success with it.

+BBC Earth Lab This is just superb, I've been looking for "explain horse race betting" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Cenaubraay Passionate Fanboy - (do a search on google ) ? I've heard some interesting things about it and my co-worker got cool results with it.

[@raitamayo1227]

[@nophu6669]

Superb.

[@MultiMarty25]

it's more important to know how good the horse actually are.bookies manipulate the odds to throw off the punters.knowledge of the horse and jockeys are essential to getting a winner.

[@hoilon1165]

Fantastic.

[@therealhoudini101]

That accent was killing it

[@20thCstudio]

I'd have a better chance playing poker (Texas Holdem) than betting at the race tracks. the odds of winning the first round with 2 aces is 2/45

[@willfeav]

it's not sure because there would be other horses in the race, the odds would be structured so that it's impossible to arrange your bets to get a sure win - otherwise the bookies would never make money!

[@trippyhippy12]

1:25 The start of gambling addiction?

[@kingdoug555]

You would make more money selling your system to gamblers, than making bets.

[@TheCh000senOne]

OBJECTION! The odds of the first card being dealt to you being an Ace are 4 in 52. The odds of your second card being an Ace, given the fact that your first card was an Ace, are 3 in 51. Thus, your odds of being dealt pocket Aces are about 0,45%. Doesn't sound that great, does it?

[@MasterDeroy]

ill go with the £62 - £100 bet... and REPEAT!

[@glen-andrewthomson1196]

You did not correctly weight the bets.. it should be: 46.55 12.70 2.75 If you are going to outlay $62

[@pirantekes4332]

less talking - more deriving

[@Matthew17veeran]

Still better odds than Shiny hunting

[@teundilles]

In this example, she picks three horses out of the pack, so there are more than three horses in this example. It would not be a good strategy. In fact, betting on horses is in general not a very good idea to make money.

[@tavon7687]

I love this movie.

[@googleboughtmee]

What about when they refund losing bets and an italian runs around screaming KAMMY

[@ineeed2cheat]

can u do more like these pleaseeeeeeeeeee

[@Prich038]

Or $200 from $124, or $1000 from $620, more you put in, more you get out :)

[@ianclark001]

Whilst this is great, I think portraying gambling as beatable by betting on all the probabilities,summing to greater than one, is a little silly in explaining how betting odds work. Also (really anal) - keep the exclamation mark out of the equation - 1/1683! are long odds indeed!

[@TheThirdGerman]

I missed that, sorry. Well yes, in that case you won't lose.

[@misterjohnson3363]

this video would be better without the filler. just an explanation of how betting odds work would suffice.

[@darkflow89]

seems to me like this only shows why it would be a stupid idea to bet on a sport that you know nothing about

[@moppettshow]

Betting odds aren't probabilities.

[@nickrich56]

Timandra is fun but gambling is not, its stressful

[@TheThirdGerman]

You can still lose your money...

[@Zaynlee96]

In theory that is

[@actigene2]

interesting. still, a sure $100 from $62 is a pretty good return on investment.

[@ramuk-]

You don't always win

[@weewilly2007]

this is not meant to be funny. yet it is being proposed as such, why?

[@FunnyFailArmy1]

Any one tried the Trabeplom System (search on google)? We have noticed several amazing things about this popular system.

[@Izzie2445]

Me too. :(

[@DoctorVince]

I always knew chemistry is evil.

[@OlCapitain]

An error has occured, darnit!

[@nilsazzo]

yeah right.. That's what you call mug acca

[@igorsidelkovsky7944]

This is just superb, I've been looking for "betting the spread in basketball" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Dondiviar Tiylena Booster - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my co-worker got amazing results with it.

[@hoaquy9818]

Omg.

[@christinetabernilla9929]

Kudos for the Video clip! Excuse me for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you tried - Chiveard Betting Information Framework (probably on Google)? It is a great one of a kind product for getting an automated horse racing betting system without the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cooworker finally got amazing results with it.

[@r_c1048]

This was a pointless video. I don't want to know about betting I want to know how ODDS work. If you want to know about betting then watch this but it has nothing to do with the explanation of odds.

[@samsun01]

what did u expect? did u see the face of this feminist? nothing good comes out of that filthy horse mouth.

[@adampenn6599]

Terrible explanation but more.. terrible voice

[@thunha3517]

Very nice….
