Break-even win rate at 7/2
The implied probability of 7/2 is about 22.22% (1 ÷ the exact decimal odds, shown rounded). That is the break-even win rate: if you bet this price many times on win-or-lose bets, you need to win more often than that to come out ahead. Whether a 7/2 bet is good value depends only on whether your honest estimate of the chance beats that number — the EV calculator does the comparison.
7/2 in a double or treble
A double of two 7/2 selections combines to decimal odds of 20.25 (+1925): a £100 double pays £2,025.00 if both win. A treble: decimal ≈ 91.13 (+9013, rounded), paying £9,112.50 on £100. For independent selections from different events, those prices imply a break-even chance of about 1.10% for all three winning — an implied figure that includes each price’s margin, not a forecast; bookmakers may refuse or reprice related selections. Payouts use the exact, unrounded combined odds. Build your own with the accumulator calculator.
