Not directly related but wsb has this now maybe a more seasoned punter can explain to me why most book makers do the following:

I use decimal odds and on most bookmakers a price of 0.8/1 will be quoted at 1.8/ or 2.5/1 will be qouted as 3.5/1 it seems when theres no decimals like 3/1 then its qouted as 3/1 and not 4/1 or I could be wrong. 

Is there a more seasoned punter than myself that can explain why the odds are qouted as such?

Most the bookies are using "UK" Decimals these days the stake is included as a dividend so " even money" would be 2.0 and 2/1 = 3.0

Thanks. Its super annoying 😑

I prefer decimal I just dont like it when they add 1 to it as in 0.5/1 becomes 1.5/1 thats the part that irks me 😁
