No, it said 'as well as your stake' not 'including your stake'.

I hate to say this but I think that contestant deserved to be wrong especially for saying Frankenstein is a Scientist!

Nobody notice they got a question wrong yesterday ?
Put a £10 bet on at 5/2 odds how much do you win inc stake ? Answers £25,£50,£75. Em the answer is £35 lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9VyGeLnuWA So the answer of £25 is correct. Your total return is £35 which is composed of £25 in winnings and £10 stake returned, as specified in the question. If the question had been phrased "How much would you get back?", then the answer would be £35, but that was not how the question was phrased. |

Somebody actually said that? ![]() ![]() Try telling somebody that's bet £500 on a 1/5 chance which wins that they've won £600. They haven't, they've won a hundred. Five hundred of the six hundred returned was their own money.. I agree with some people that the question was not especially well worded, but the correct answer is not in doubt. |

I think the problem is people are counting their stake as part of the winnings, when technically they're not. If I bet a hundred pounds on an evens chance, and it wins, I've won a hundred pounds, plus my stake back. I'm picking up two hundred, but I've not won two hundred, because a hundred of the two hundred was mine anyway.
Try telling somebody that's bet £500 on a 1/5 chance which wins that they've won £600. They haven't, they've won a hundred. Five hundred of the six hundred returned was their own money.. I agree with some people that the question was not especially well worded, but the correct answer is not in doubt. Yep agree the question could have been worded better, but it is right. And whilst basically agreeing with you, as a gambler myself, if I'd put £100 on an even money shot and won, I would say I'd won £200. For me tht £100 has gone once I've put the bet on. That's just how gamblers think. |

![]() That said, Mark played brilliantly in the final chase today! If only that other contestant had put Frankenstein as a scientist however, they'd have probably won with her extra step and knowledge. |
