This may seem like a really really idiotic question, but could someone explain to me what the different odds mean. Is it that 2/1 means if you bet £1 and you're right you get £2?

Plus you get your stake back, so you put £1 on and get £3 back. Rhydian's odds are slightly less generous, though. 1/3 (i.e. 3 to 1 ON) means you need to place a bet of £1 to get £1.33 back (i.e 33p profit plus your £1 stake back). HTH.
