Betting - someone explain something to me
Felipe Massa was evens on one betting site to finish on the podium yesterday at Silverstone.

He was 2/1 to finish outside the podium on another betting site.

Is it right that if I stuck the same sum of money on both outcomes that I would either get my money back if he finished in the top three but doubled my money if he finished outside?

I have no concept of betting really. If I stuck £600 on at 2/1, what is my total return? Is it £1200 or £1800 (this including my £600 stake?)


All confusing for someone who doesn't bet. Saw this on another site.
