Again trickery in the use of the word "win".
The effective odds are what you get, not lower than what you get! If you back a horse at 4/1 those ARE the effective odds you get on the wager.
But if we used your word trickery method, then if we are level staking with $100 bets and are down $1000 and back a $5.00 winner the "effective odds" of that bet would not be $5.00 BUT instead "minus $7.00" because we would still be down $600 after the winner!!!!!! |
